I love dishes with poetic names and this is one of my favourites. 月見 (tsukimi) means moon viewing in Japanese and yes the bright egg yolk does represent the moon here. I was looking forward to a brilliant full moon last thursday but sadly it was a cold and wet night. I prepared this simple noodle dish with some leftover homemade dashi and was able to view the full moon in the comfort of my heated room. If you need something with more spice remember to check out our 2nd Muhibbah Malaysian Monday roundup.
P.S One may replace the udon with soba.
