Making it for the 3rd time, definitely a repeater 🤤

So good! I used tahini, which worked, and store-bought smoked tofu, but I wish I had made the smoked tofu myself as it was clearly not the best, if you ever make a recipe for smoked tofu I'd love it!
A very nice dish that I'll definitely make again!

Hey Nohya, thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the udon noodle recipe 🤗 perhaps one day we can share a recipe for smoked tofu!


Tina - Sept. 7, 2024, 7:14 a.m.

Looks delicious! Do you know if it is possible to make smoked tofu at home using regular tofu?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 8, 2024, 2:59 p.m.

Hi Tina, we prefer store-bought smoked tofu in this recipe for ease, but you could totally make it at home if you'd like! For example, you could marinate firm tofu with soy sauce, liquid smoke, and spices, then bake or grill it to infuse that smoky flavour. We've added smoked tofu to our list of future recipe ideas 🤗✨

Tina - Sept. 22, 2024, 8:39 a.m.

Thank u so much, can't wait to try marinating it like u suggest! 😍😍


Steph LP - June 9, 2024, 10:49 p.m.

I did not like the sauce and turned it into a soup adding a vegetable cube and more water then it was very good.

Hi there, Steph, sorry to hear this recipe wasn't a 5-star experience. This sauce is creamy which some people may not enjoy, but we're glad the modifications helped improve it to your preferences. If you'd prefer another udon recipe that isn't creamy, you'll probably like our Shoyu Butter Udon Noodles or Teriyaki Udon Noodles recipes better 🤗

Super efficace ! J'adore la découpe des champignons. Ça a de l'allure

Turned out sooo good. Will definitely be in a staple from now. Thanks so much for this delicacy Sadia💜

Soo good and creamy
Love the sauce

Love it !!

This is such a nice quick to assemble lunch 😍

thicker noodles black sesame no mushroom corn cabbage Al dente lemon 🍋 salt..sweated onion first! superb!! 🥰ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ


Claudine - Aug. 29, 2023, 3:44 a.m.

Very good!


Cecilia Alvarez - Aug. 25, 2023, 11:16 p.m.

Loved it! Was craving something comforting for period cramps and it hit the spot. I added sesame oil at the end ☺️


Eileen - Aug. 2, 2023, 3:51 p.m.

Hi Team! I just noticed that the gluten-feature didn’t highlight the miso paste. Regular miso paste usually has wheat or barley in it. It’d be wonderful if you could update that. This feature is so valuable for celiacs like me! 🙏🏻 I love using the app because of this and all the filtering options!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 2, 2023, 4:55 p.m.

Hey Eileen, thanks for sharing your feedback with us! We're so glad the app and filter option is being enjoyed 🙌

We've opted not to flag many "may contain" ingredients on our database to avoid over-limiting recipes. For example, dark chocolate may contain soy, but since soy-free varieties are commonly found, we don't flag chocolate as containing soy. Similarly, miso paste is commonly fermented with rice (and indeed in some cases can be fermented with wheat or barley). Since gluten-free varieties are common, we haven't flagged it as containing gluten for now. I hope this helps, and do let us know if there's anything else that we can support with!

Had this for lunch today and it was so good! It was easy to put together. I grounded up toasted sesame seeds into an almost paste and it seemed to work well. Highly recommend not skipping the optional chili oil, the floral and spice balances with the creamy sauce beautifully.

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 31, 2023, 4:14 p.m.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the recipe, Linda, it means a lot! 😃


Betta - July 24, 2023, 12:32 a.m.

This was excellent! So flavorful and creative! Will definitely make again.


Anayensy López - July 22, 2023, 9:50 p.m.

I love it, this is one of my favorite recipes! 🤤 I made it with tahini I couldn’t find sesame paste on my city


louise - July 18, 2023, 7:52 p.m.

Really horrible! Which is odd as I like all the ingredients individually.

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 22, 2023, 2:33 a.m.

Hey Louise, oh no! So sorry to hear it. Might you be able to share what about the dish wasn't enjoyed? Was it the flavours, the textures? Were any modification made to the original write-up? We'd love to explore why this recipe didn't work out for you and see if there are ways we can make it better.

louise - July 22, 2023, 11:57 a.m.

Hi team - Yes, it was the sauce. I didn’t like the texture (the thickness) and I didn’t feel the miso went well with the sesame flavours. I think if you like creamy sauces on noodles, you may like this

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 22, 2023, 9:31 p.m.

Thanks for taking the time to share, Louise. This sauce is indeed creamy. If you'd prefer another udon recipe that isn't creamy, I can recommend our Shoyu Butter Udon Noodles, our Udon Curry Noodles, or our Teriyaki Udon Noodles. I hope those are more to your taste preference 😊


Sandra - July 14, 2023, 9:59 p.m.

Absolutely delicious. I made it with more toppings but no noodles, because I wanted something lighter, and it was perfect.
(I also made it with tahini because I had it on hand - still great!)

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 14, 2023, 10:34 p.m.

Ooo tahini sounds lovely, Sandra! Thank you ✨

Creamy comforting wholesome goodness. Very filling.
