Kitsune Udon (Seasoned Fried Tofu Udon)
Report
Kitsune Udon (きつねうどん) is a delicious meatless Japanese noodle soup that's topped with a thick slice of seasoned fried tofu. The combination of the thick chewy udon noodles, clear dashi broth and savory sweet inari-agé is a match made in heaven, which is probably why Kitsune Udon is one of the most popular bowls of udon in Japan.

Instructions
- Fill a pan with some water and bring to a boil. Add the aburaage and boil for about 1 minute. Pressing down on it with a spatula to help coax out any extra oil.
- Drain the aburaage in a strainer and use something (other than your hand) to press any excess water out of it. Slice the aburaage in half.
- Wipe-out the pan with a paper towel and then add the sugar, sake, water, and soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and then add the aburaage.
- Simmer until there is almost no sauce left in the pan.
- To make the soup for the kitsune udon, simply dilute 3 ½ tablespoons of my mentsuyu with 2 ½ cups of water (for 2 servings) and heat in a pot.
- Boil the udon according to the package directions, drain well.
- Split the udon between two bowls and then place an inari-agé in each bowl. Garnished with the sliced scallions and kamaboko and then finish your kitsune udon by pouring the soup over the top. Serve with shichimi togarashi.
Notes
- The ratio of mentsuyu to water assumes you use my mentsuyu recipe here. If you bought your mentsuyu, follow the directions on the bottle.
