udon for summer

Sometimes I meet American people at a Japanese restaurant thinking over the menu, trying to decide what to order. Some people are brave enough to ask which one I would recommend.

Most of time, I recommend what I like. I took a picture of list of dishes I like to eat for lunch so I am posting it for American friends.

Normally, Japanese people eat a lot of carbs, either rice or noodle. The noodle in the picture is called udon. When you put curry on top of the noodle, it's called "curry udon." As guys get hungry so fast, I like to eat a little bowl of rice in addition to the noodle. Spicy eggs of cod and minced mountain yam enhances the taste of rice so much. As side dish, I ordered two pieces of croquet.

It was pretty hearty lunch, I think I can work hard for a few more hours:)
