2-4 weeks delay Udon is a thick noodle that's best served in a pork-based broth and sprinkled with a smattering of chopped scallions. A few slices of boiled egg and perhaps a bit of tofu may also be added... at least according to 'Gamma Reiko. Looking nothing like a noodle, Captain Udon is a spandex wearing superhero who mades his debut in this summer's Udon movie directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro. Bowing on August 26, 2006, Udon tells the story of a luckless 31-year old named Kosuke who accidentally discovers the power of good Udon and aspires to make it the national "soul food" dish of Japan. With help from a magazine editor named Kyoko Miyagawa and a costumed alter-ego, Kosuke conspires to create an Udon craze to be reckoned with. source: http://www.ncsx.com/2006/090406/rah_udon.htm
