    Butter Dashi Noodles

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    butter dashi udon with shrimp

    This is a savory and buttery noodle dish with crispy panko at the top! These butter dashi noodles take less than 15 minutes to prepare. I was inspired by this dish when I traveled a NYC restaurant called Tuome. At Tuome, they made a crab and butter noodle.

    I wanted to make something cheaper and quicker. Udon is always my go to when I want to make something fast. Add a little butter and shrimp & you have a tasty meal!

    butter dashi udon with shrimp

    Ingredients you need for your butter dashi udon:

    • 2 packs of udon noodles
    • 8 pcs of shrimp (de-veined and peeled), optional if you want seafood
    • 2.5 tbs unsalted butter
    • 1 tbs soy sauce
    • ½ teaspoon instant dashi
    • ½ tbs finely minced garlic (2-3 cloves)
    • 1 egg yolk (no egg white)
    • ½ cup of panko bread crumbs & 1 tbs oil (to make crispy panko!)
    • ½ green onion for garnish

    Steps to make the butter dashi udon:

    • Step 1. Boil udon noodles for one minute. Take noodles out of water and wash under cold water & ice. The udon should be slightly undercooked so when you cook with the sauce, its not too soft. Cooking tip: If you like saucier noodles, save some of the udon broth. You can add 2-4 tbs of udon broth to step 4 when making the sauce.
    • Step 2. To toast the panko bread crumbs: On a low-medium pan, add 1 tbs of oil. Then, add ½ cup panko bread crumbs and frequently stir until the bread crumbs turn a golden brown. This step should take 2-4 minutes.
    • Step 3. On medium heat, add 2.5 tablespoons butter to a pan. Add shrimp and a pinch of salt. Cook until shrimp is orange or cooked all the way through and set aside. Be careful not to burn the butter (when the butter turns dark brown, its burnt and you will need to add 2 tbs butter to the pan again).
    • Step 4. Quickly, add ½ tablespoon minced garlic to the butter and stir. Add udon noodles, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon instant dashi. Mix the shrimp in. This step should take one minute so the udon noodles don’t get too soft/soggy.
    • Step 5. Turn off heat and wait one minute. Add egg yolk to the pan of noodles and stir quickly. The egg yolk makes the udon noodles creamy and silky!
    • Step 6. Top with toasted panko bread crumbs and sliced green onions. Hope you enjoy!
