The Best Kitsune Udon
Kitsune Udon is a Japanese soul food, featuring a hot dashi soup with udon noodles with aburaage in a sweet and salty sauce on top. The term dashi refers to a whole family of stocks which are mostly seafood, using umami-rich ingredients such as kezurikatsuo, niboshi, kombu and even shiitake mushrooms. Aburaage, fried thin tofu, maintains a taste of soy sauce and sugar, as you may know from this dish and also in Inarizushi. Together, they create a hearty soup that is sure to be filling and delicious.
