Creamy Masago Udon (20 Minutes ONLY!)

Japanese Creamy Masago Udon

20 Minutes ONLY is all you need to make super Creamy Masago Udon.

Team UDON, we are back with another delicious and easy recipe, and this time, we are making Japanese Inspired Creamy Masago Udon.

Rich, creamy, udon packed with umami flavors, you will never believe how easy it is to make this at home.

Make Creamy Masago Udon for date night or valentines day, and thank me later. 

sauce with noodle

My Creamy Masago Udon is inspired by a Japanese-Italian fusion dish called Mentaiko Pasta.

The sauce is made from butter,  flour, cream, dashi, garlic powder, and Japanese mayo.

Masago is savory and also adds great texture to the dish.

A pinch of dashi powder goes a long way, and it instantly adds umami flavor to any dish. 

Creamy Masago Udon is perfect for date nights since it is easy to make at home, delicious, and also affordable.

Each serving costs less than $6 to make, and you can customize it by adding a poached egg, or Ikura to spice up the udon.

I promise that even those that never tried Japanese-Italian fusion food before will fall in love with Masago Udon. 

mixed well with all ingredients

I prefer to use Frozen Udon when making Creamy Masago Udon.

Frozen Udon is fresher than vacuum-sealed udon; therefore, it can absorb more of the sauce and not break as easily. You can easily find Frozen Udon in the Asian Freezer section near potstickers.

Pour hot water all over the udon before cooking to separate the udon. This step will cut down the cooking time and prevent the udon from becoming soggy.

If you can only access vacuum-sealed udon, microwave for 30 seconds to help separate the udon before adding it to the sauce.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
