Easy and Cheap Way to Eat Udon

Boil dried udon noodles, drain them, put them in a bowl, and top with bonito flakes and soy sauce. If it's freshly boiled, this is already delicious enough. Add chili powder or other seasonings to your liking. If you're concerned about nutrition, add chopped green onions, rehydrated dried seaweed, an egg, or shredded nori seaweed. I sometimes add natto too. Dried noodles are cheaper than instant ramen packs and healthier since they aren't deep-fried, plus they can be stored longer than ramen. I think freshly boiled dried noodles are much tastier than cheap pre-boiled noodles, they last way longer, and take up less space. They might lose in cooking time, though. Price-wise, they're pretty competitive with cheap options. There are also cheap frozen noodles from places like 'Gyomu Super', but they're more expensive than dried noodles and take up quite a bit of space. They lose in taste compared to dried noodles.
