"Udon" is actually Japan's "Udon". It used to be a specialty of Hokkaido, but now it is found everywhere in Japan. In recent years, it has invaded China, haha! I bought it at Carrefour supermarket.
When I went to the supermarket, I thought that it was easy to make, and I just needed to cook it in semi-finished products. Therefore, I often bought a few bags and put them in the refrigerator, and ate them when I was lazy. I slowly felt that it was quite good, smooth and delicious. Although this thing is just noodles, it is not easy to make. The Japanese stepped on it with their feet, haha! I wonder if they have athlete's foot! This is the most traditional way they use their feet to knead dough, but they are wearing socks, hehe! It's covered with cloth. Nowadays, machines are basically used, but many places in Hokkaido still maintain traditional handmade practices.
The following is a simple pasta dish "Braised Udon with Yaozhu" for friends. This is my own practice. I feel refreshing and light, and the nutrition is not bad. It is very beautiful to serve it in the hot winter!
"Yaozhu" is called scallops by northerners. It has extremely high nutritional value. It is best for men to eat them, so I won't explain much, haha!

1. When steaming the dried scallops, add ginger, scallions, and Shaoxing wine. It is best not to add water to ensure the flavor is delicious.
2. To make this noodle dish, you can actually just use the small dried scallops available at the market; there is no need to splurge on top-quality scallops, as the taste will still be quite good.
3. Please do not add extra salt to the noodles, because the dried scallops are naturally savory and salty. Additionally, since chicken powder is included, the saltiness is already sufficient. This is a relatively light noodle dish meant to be enjoyed for its natural flavor. Just to reiterate: the main seasonings are chicken powder, white pepper, and a little Shaoxing wine.
