Samyang's U-dong Noodles!

Okay here it is! All the way from Korea, the brand of instant Udon (pronounced as Oo-dawn) noodles I've been talking about! No doubt you'll find it in all major (and minor) supermarkets / minimarts, it's not the best I've had but it's pretty good =)

The foil packaging claims it to be "THE oriental style U-Dong which is soft noodles and clear soup taste", which shows that Koreans aren't too good with english, but I digress. The fact is that the noodles aren't too soft, and the soup almost an opaque brown, none of which should be a concern.

For thick noodles like this, make sure you cook them for 5 minutes at least (6's written on the packaging) or you'll be eating flour sticks.. The soup's got lotsa (MSG,) seaweed bits and sesame seeds - not something commonly seen in Udon but it works out to be a good combination.

In order to get the most out of your 80cents. Make sure you stuff your mouth full with the 'Boingy' (no other word can do) noodles while they're still warm, and indulge in the process of chewing on the delightfully textured 面条.

I would've tried adding my own seaweed slices if there were any left at home... But oh wells, go ahead and give this brand and try if you're sick of Maggi, CQYD, Myojo and Indo Me!
