Absolutely delicious!!! Restaurant quality or better in my opinion....I also added broccoli flowerets and baby bok choy (instead of the spinach). I've had this with bean sprouts added raw to the noodle bowl as well. Instead of sake, I substituted with the same amount of water. Very healthful and tasty. Thanks for sharing your recipe ratherbeswimmin', this was fantastic!! You need both a fork and a spoon for this one!!<br/><br/>FYI: we are able to get pre-cooked Japanese style Udon noodles at a local grocery store. Perfect one serving size (200 g)...the brand name (I think because it is in Japanese) is Nama Udon made by Six Fortune. It comes in vacuum sealed bags on the shelf. If you or anyone wants more information, please let me know...they are the real thing!!

This was great! My fiancé can be hard to please with dinners, but he loved this! So many wonderful flavours and loved all the veg in there too. Can't believe how easy it was to make as well!
