Notes

adapted from the food network magazine
I used Japanese Udon noodles, but you could use any type of noodle for this recipe.
Fresh Ginger is not something I keep on hand, but I do keep a squeeze bottle of minced ginger ni my fridge. Found it in the produce section where they keep the fresh herbs.
