Where it comes from
From Japanese 饂飩 (udon), which is probably from Middle Chinese 餛飩 (hwon dwon, “wonton”).
noun udon · udons
- A Japanese wheat noodle. The first time I had niku udon was at a Japanese convenience store, now long closed, near Columbia University in the mid-1990s. For about $5, the attendants would plop a handful of freshly boiled udon into a Styrofoam cup and add a ladle of dashi broth seasoned with soy sauce and mirin.
