“This recipe is inspired by one of the most popular items on the menu at my family's restaurant in Ottawa,” says Food specialist Irene Fong. “My uncle used flat rice noodles in his version, but udon is easier to cook. The restaurant has long since closed, but this recipe is a reminder of the dishes my family loves.”
