Think Japanese udon means making broth from scratch or buying a special sauce? It doesn’t have to. Hakubaku Udon Noodles with Pea Protein make it easy to turn ingredients already in your refrigerator into a satisfying meal—with 11.8g of plant-based protein per serving already in the noodles.

Cook the udon, then try one of these easy combinations:

1. Rotisserie Chicken + Broccoli
Add chopped rotisserie chicken, microwave-steamed broccoli and a splash of soy sauce. Dinner done.

2. Easy Peanut Udon
Mix peanut butter, soy sauce and a little warm noodle water. Toss with udon and finish with chili crisp if you like heat.

3. Egg + Parmesan Udon
Toss hot noodles with egg, Parmesan and black pepper for a creamy, comforting bowl.

4. Tuna Mayo Udon
Combine chilled udon with canned tuna, mayo, cucumber and a little soy sauce for an easy lunch.

5. Edamame Sesame Udon
Add thawed shelled edamame and your favorite sesame dressing. No extra cooking required.

6. Chicken Pesto Udon
Japanese noodles meet an Italian favorite. Toss udon with prepared pesto, rotisserie chicken and Parmesan.

7. Clean-Out-the-Fridge Udon
Add leftover chicken, tofu or vegetables and whatever sauce or dressing you already love.

The best part? There are no rules. Authentic Japanese udon doesn’t mean every meal has to be a traditional Japanese recipe.

Authentic Japanese Udon Doesn’t Have to Mean Complicated Cooking

One of the best things about udon is its versatility. While udon has a long history in Japanese cuisine, you don’t need to make traditional dashi broth, buy a special udon sauce, or spend an hour in the kitchen to enjoy it.

Think of Hakubaku Protein Udon as an everyday noodle that happens to be authentically Japanese. Cook it, then pair it with the foods and flavors you already enjoy. Leftover chicken? Add it. A jar of pesto in the refrigerator? Toss it in. Frozen vegetables and your favorite bottled dressing? You have dinner.

And because Hakubaku Udon with Pea Protein provides 11.8g of plant-based protein per 2 oz serving, you’re starting your meal with more than just a traditional noodle.

An Easy Formula for a Protein-Packed Udon Meal

You don’t really need a recipe. Start with cooked Hakubaku Protein Udon, add a protein such as chicken, tofu, egg, tuna or edamame, toss in whatever vegetables you have, and finish it with a sauce or seasoning you already like.

That could be as simple as soy sauce and sesame oil—or as familiar as pesto, peanut butter, salad dressing or even a favorite pasta sauce.

The shortcut is simple:

UDON + PROTEIN + VEGETABLE + SAUCE = DINNER
Make it Japanese-inspired, Mediterranean, spicy, creamy or completely your own.

Your Noodles. Your Way.

Authentic Japanese noodles don’t require an authentic Japanese recipe every time. That’s what makes Hakubaku Protein Udon such an easy pantry staple. You get the satisfying texture of Japanese udon, plant-based protein already incorporated into the noodles, and the freedom to turn whatever you have in the kitchen into a quick meal.

So the next time you’re staring into the refrigerator wondering what to make, don’t overthink it. Boil. Add. Toss. Eat.
