Kirby’s Masago Yakiudon Recipe- Yummy In My Tummy!
One item I always love to order whenever I’m dining at a
Japanese Izakaya place is their Yakiudon.
The chefs from any Izakaya restaurant can somehow always make Yakiudon taste extremely tasty, moist, and flavourful, but when I attempt to re-create it, I
always end up with a dry, sticky, and unflavourful mess. My favourites are the Mentaiko Yakiudon from Ebisu, and the Guu’s Yakiudon from Guu Otokomae. My
goal is to make homemade Yakiudon that is (almost) as good as theirs, so I did

water. Take it out right when they begin to separate because you will be

Once everything is mixed thoroughly, add a bit of green
onion for some contrast in colour and taste. As well, add a tablespoon of soy
sauce (I just used a packet of soy sauce that I got from take-out sushi) to
brighten up the flavours. It’s starting to look delicious!
and voila! Kirby’s Masago Yakiudon!! It’s incredibly easy to make and is a great dish for lunch or dinner.
