| Sara udon (皿うどん), literally "plate noodles", is a dish native to Nagasaki prefecture, Japan.[1] Despite the name, it is not a kind of udon. Consisting of a base of noodles, and a topping of fried cabbage, bean sprouts and other vegetables, as well as squid, prawns, pork, kamaboko etc. There are two main varieties of noodles, thinner crispy noodles fried in oil (called pari pari, bari bari, or bari men); as a result this variation is reminiscent of Cantonese-style chow mein. Another variation uses thicker Chinese noodles (called chanpon noodles). |
