Fried Udon with Prawns and Omelette

Fried Udon with Prawns and Omelette

I remember the first time I tried fried udon is from Isabel, my Secondary School friend who cooked it. She is really good at it! =) After then, when I dine in Japanese Restaurant, most of the time, I will be ordering Yaki Udon. Of course, another reason is because I am not a Japanese food lover.

This recipe will come in handy especially when you are dining alone as it can be served as a staple food and with the prawns and omelette, I will think that it will make a nice simple meal.

This recipe is motivated from the Korean Stall at Meridian Hotel, Singapore.
