Tsukimi Udon (full Moon Udon)

Literally translated, tsukimi means "viewing the moon". The egg in this dish represents the "full moon" surrounded by "clouds" of noodles. It is traditionally served in the autumn but I love it all year long. For some reason, I find it very romantic.lol.

This was very good. I left out the sugar, though. I tried pouring boiling broth around the egg as another reviewer suggested, but it did not work. I wound up putting the soup in the oven, as instructed, and it cooked fine.

It was quite good, I will most likely make it again in the future

I've made this twice now and it is great. I tried following David's advice the first time, then putting it in the oven the second time. Both times, the egg didn't really cook through white, both times, I just mixed the egg up in the noodles and broth and assumed it cooked that way. The egg really is key to the flavor of the broth. I used veggie broth instead of chicken both times. Delicious. We will be making this again. Thanks. -
My whole family loved it. They usually don't like foreign foods. ^_^
