topping (If you want)

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium pot, add enough water to cover the udon noodles. Turn the heat to medium and when the water boils, add udon noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain the water and run the cold water to cool the noodle down.
- If you use bacon, bake the bacon first. I usually use my oven, set 400℉, then bake for 15-20 minutes. After baking, cool it down, and cut into the size you prefer.
- In a small bowl, add egg and beat it.
- Cut onion into thin sliced pieces.
Let's cook!
- Use a medium pan, and turn the heat to medium. Add butter and when the butter is beginning to melt, add the onion.
- When the onion gets softer and clear in color, add the bacon (or ham) to the pan. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add milk into the pan and bring it to a boil. When it starts boiling, turn the heat off once.
- Add the beaten egg, parmesan cheese, salt and dashi powder. Mix everything.
- Turn the heat back on and set to low. Add the udon noodles. Mix everything.
Let's eat!
- Move it to a bowl, and add some toppings. I like to add egg yolk, green onion and black pepper to finish!
