My mom used to make this dish when we were younger. I remember fighting with my sister about what noodles to drop into the broth. I was always an "udon" guy. My sister preferred "ramen" noodles. I would plead my case ... that udon is much better as ramen noodles suck up too much of the broth. But she would rebuttal: "I'm older - so deal with it."

Its funny that particular dishes brings back so many childhood memories. Just like songs from the 90's.
