Japanese Udon Soup Recipe

I love Japanese food and one of my favourite is the Japanese Udon Soup. A bowl of Japanese Udon Soup doesn't comes cheap and it could cost about RM15 to RM20 a bowl in a Japanese restaurant in Malaysia. If you are on a budget and still wishes to have a bowl of Japanese Udon Soup, here are the recipe for a home made Udon Soup.

• 2 to 3 large strips of dried kombu
• Bonito flakes
