Dry thin flat udon noodles are a variation of the classic udon, a popular Japanese noodle known for its chewy texture. These noodles are thinner and flatter than the typical thick, round udon, offering a different mouthfeel and quicker cooking time.
Chefs use these versatile noodles in a variety of dishes, from warm, comforting noodle soups to stir-fries and cold salads, where they absorb flavors well and add a pleasing, slightly chewy texture to the meal.
