The story behind

This dish is a perfect example of a clean and professional culinary style. The bright egg yolk in the center is not just visually striking; when mixed with the hot noodles, it creates an instant, silky sauce. The katsuobushi adds a characteristic smoky aroma, while the lime, carefully placed to the side, provides the necessary acidic balance.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cook the Udon noodles in boiling water until tender but still springy.
  2. 2
    Drain the noodles well and place them in a nest shape inside a ceramic bowl.
  3. 3
    Using a spoon, create a small well in the center of the noodles and carefully drop in the egg yolk.
  4. 4
    Arrange the chopped green onions and the bonito flakes (katsuobushi) on the upper sides of the yolk.
  5. 5
    Add the fresh lime wedge to the side of the bowl.
  6. 6
    Serve immediately accompanied by hot Mentsuyu sauce to pour over the noodles just before eating.
