Notes
Udon: Feel free to use other noodles of choice. I used instant udon noodles in vacuum sealed packages and simply soaked these in some hot water to separate them. You can also use frozen udon and quickly microwave or boil these.
Noodles: Feel free to use other noodles if you’d like!
Veggies: The veggies and tofu are totally up to you!
