There are many stories explaining the origin of udon. One story says that in AD 1241, Enni, a Rinzai monk, introduced flour milling technology from Song China to Japan. Floured crops were then made into noodles such as udon, soba, and pancakes in Japan which were eaten by locals.

The environment of Kagawa prefecture is fit for producing wheat, another reason why udon became a staple here. Most of Japan has a lot of rain fall and is humid, so the climate is not fit for producing wheat.

Udon is a popular instant or homemade noodle dish in both Korea and Japan. It is a type of thick, wheat-based noodle, usually served in a mildly flavored broth which is seasoned with soy sauce and mirin.

This is a difficult question as it depends on how the noodles are cooked. If it is instant noodles bought from a supermarket, it may contain a high level of sodium and calories which is less healthy than homemade ramen. Udon made with fresh ingredients may be a better option.

“It’s ramen, not lamen.” No, it’s lamen, which, as a trusted source on Chinese cooking points out to me, would actually be pronounced “la mian” in Mandarin. The term roughly translates into English as “pulled noodles,” an innocent description that belies the back-breaking work involved.

I guess people can vary in their pronunciations of this food and others will still know what they are trying to say, however, the correct and most common pronunciation is in fact “rah-men.” Although there might be many different ways to eat these noodles, there is only one way you should be saying it.

Ramen noodles are high in gluten and sugar, and the broth typically includes a metaphorical ton of MSG and saturated fat. It’s a deadly combination, not just to one’s internal organs but to one’s brain as well.

Japanese people love ramen, but there’s a reason they don’t eat it every day. The calorie count of a bowl ramen can easily exceed the amount you need for a full day. I don’t recommend eating as much ramen as I did in a short amount of time.
