About this dish
Sara udon (皿うどん), literally "plate noodles", is a dish native to Nagasaki prefecture, Japan. Despite the name, it is not a kind of udon. The dish consists of a base of noodles, and a topping of fried cabbage, bean sprouts and other vegetables, as well as squid, prawns, pork, kamaboko etc. There are two main varieties of noodles, thinner crispy noodles fried in oil (called pari pari, bari bari, or bari men); as a result this variation is reminiscent of Cantonese-style chow mein. Another variation uses thicker Chinese noodles (called chanpon noodles). The style and thickness of noodles varies between restaurants. Many restaurants outside Nagasaki prefecture serve only thin noodles, which has led to the common misconception that the dish is only ever served with thin noodles.
