Hakubaku Organic Udon Wheat Noodle (1 x 9.5 OZ)

These udon noodles are fantastic! They have the perfect chewy texture and cook up quickly without getting mushy. I used them in a stir-fry and also tried them in a broth, and they held up beautifully both ways. The flavor is neutral, which makes them super versatile for all kinds of dishes. Packaging was great, and the noodles separated easily after cooking. I’m really happy with the quality and will definitely be keeping these stocked in my pantry.

best udon, clean ingredients, cook with salt despite what it says

These noodles were not only healthy but delicious for soup I made.

As a frequent consumer of Japanese noodles, I was excited to try the Hakubaku Organic Udon. This is a solid, high-quality noodle that performs well in both hot and cold dishes, making it a versatile staple for any pantry. ​ 📦 Packaging and Preparation ​The 1-pound package contains individually wrapped portions (typically three bundles), which is excellent for portion control and maintaining freshness. The preparation instructions are clear and simple: boil for about 9 minutes. I found that 8-9 minutes yielded a perfect al dente chewiness. Rinsing immediately under cold water after boiling stops the cooking process effectively, which is crucial for cold preparations like Zaru Udon. ​👅 Flavor and Texture ​Texture: This is where the noodle shines. The Udon has a substantive, satisfying thickness and a wonderfully chewy, slightly elastic mouthfeel that you expect from quality Udon. It held up very well without becoming mushy, even when left in a hot broth for an extended time. ​Flavor: Being organic wheat, the flavor is clean and slightly nutty, acting as an excellent vehicle for sauces and broths without overpowering them. It's not salty, which is a big plus for controlling your dish's overall seasoning. ​👍 What I Loved ​Organic Certification: A great feature for those prioritizing organic ingredients. ​Texture: Perfectly thick and chewy—the star of the show. ​Versatility: Works equally well in traditional Kake Udon (hot broth) and in stir-fries or cold noodle salads. ​🤏 Room for Improvement ​The one minor drawback is the cooking time. Compared to some quick-cook fresh Udon options, 9 minutes is on the longer side for a quick lunch. However, the superior texture is worth the extra few minutes of waiting. ​✅ Conclusion: Highly Recommended ​If you are looking for an authentic, organic, dried Udon noodle that delivers on texture and is incredibly versatile, the Hakubaku Organic Udon is a superb choice. It's a reliable product that will be a repeat purchase for my household.

Great noodle and textures. But slightly pricey

Very good! I can make everything from Lo mein to pansit with these!

Delicious! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Better for you as far as sodium than buying a quick udon packet at the grocery

First, the packages did arrive completely intact. I had no breakage whatsoever. I appreciate the way it’s individually bound inside the package to divide up what should be an average serving and for me it was divided up accurately. Secondly, and this is the negative part, these are the thinnest udon noodles I have ever seen in my life! Each noodle should be at least 4-5 times thicker than what they are. Also the instructions for cooking them said that there was no need for salt or other kind of seasoning and I strongly disagree. I think, like any noodle, a little touch of salt takes away the bland taste when they finish cooking, much the same as it is with rice. I bought two packets so I’m going to have them for a while but I’m not going to buy them again because they are just too skinny. They are the size between angel hair pasta and spaghetti & that is far too thin to be an udon noodle. But the price wasn’t bad. I’m just not impressed enough to buy them again.

Bought that noodles for Ramen making. Expected to be more thick. Quite expensive.

Overpriced for what you get. Just plain old pasta.

Easy to prepare udon noodles that are well-liked by both old and young. Texture is just right.

Great quality and a great taste. I highly recommend these and the seller

C est vraiment pas mal en plus de cela c’est moins chère qu au magasin pour exactement le même produit .
