Spicy Clam Udon

Craving a comforting noodle soup with a spicy kick? Spicy Clam Udon brings together thick, chewy udon noodles and tender clams in a savory broth flavored with garlic, fresh ginger, and Thai chili garlic paste. Aloha shoyu, white miso, mirin, and lemon juice add layers of salty, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor. Chopped mustard cabbage, won bok, and green onions bring freshness and texture to every bowl, while a pinch of togarashi adds extra warmth.

This satisfying soup is a delicious choice for a quick lunch or an easy weeknight meal. It comes together in just 25 minutes, making it a great option when you want bold flavor without spending hours in the kitchen. For another comforting soup, try our Pork and Pok Choy Soup.

Spicy Clam Udon

We love our hot soup noodle dishes here. The days have come and gone where there were little ramen lunch wagons with outdoor seating for their customers, open only during the late evening hours. Frequented by customers on their way home from a night of partying.

One particular wagon is now a very popular Ramen Restaurant, still in the same neighborhood from 30 years ago. I had a dish similar to this there, very flavorful and spicy. The original recipe was topped off with one single clam in a shell.
