Deservedly so, the only gaming relevance stuff are the "what you missed" links better.

I love Kotaku, but agreement - A) this post has nothing to do with gaming, B) banning this guy for pointing it out was a pretty suppressive move.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon please!

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> I'd say udon, though it depends if you want something cold for the summer.

Chef

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> green tea soba... ahh, that's the good stuff.

rawg

ohayou_kun

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> I don't know about either of those types of noodles,but Ramen is always a good choice. I was raised on that stuff.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon.... love it!
With those onigiris you get at the local market... you know, the ones that have a packaging system that keeps the nori crunchy.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Can I say Ramen? The kinds of broths that accompany Ramen are the most refreshing.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon.

That stuff is so good!!

Naia

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Hmm, this calls for one of the great mashups of all time, buckwheat udon!.

cactaur

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> No question whatsoever: soba!

Speaking of, I have a great soba/yakitori recommendation if you wanna travel 2 1/2 hours to get to it.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon, without a doubt.

lonkley

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> how about you mix them both together ? sure it might be a little more work but i think it'll be worth it !

izzy_k

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Phở! Oh wait, that's not one of the choices. Udon all the way then.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Soba is great cold, I'm not fond of hot soba, except Yaki-soba. Udon is great every way. especially Nabe-yaki

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> In summer, nothing beats cold soba!

Unfortunately, it's hard as hell to find in the US unless you make it yourself. Damn my lack of cooking skills!

Aggrocragg

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> I'm picking udon since I never try soba.

BlackFreefall

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Ramen for me, but I have never been able to figure out how to make it.

Any time I try and find out how to actually make ramen I only find info on recipes using the instant ramen packages. What I want is to make the noodles themselves. There is a great ramen place here in denver, but it isn't that close to me so I must discover how to make the noodles for myself.

Baring that, soba and udon are equal for me.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Linguine

If I HAVE to chose between those two, soba.

Guizzy

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Yeah, I have to go with Udon for this one, I love their art.

I kid! I kid! I do like udon, over soba, though ... not that I would turn down an offer of soba :D

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> @Rogz: Hey, if you like you can look at life as just one big game. the choices we make affect the story later on. It is just about perspective :P btw, soba is the way to go!

Likton

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Soba - or ramen - or yakisoba - or yakiudon...

Nah - just Soba, better al dente texture.

That's a lie and you know it. Besides, Chun-Li supports the mainland Asian noodles, so I automatically win!

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> I too vote Udon.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Thick even! hehe, soz.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> According to Wikipedia:

Udon (Japanese: うどん or 饂飩) is a type of thick wheat-based noodle popular in Japanese cuisine.Udon is usually served hot as noodle soup in a mildly flavoured broth, in its simplest form as kake udon, served in kakejiru made of dashi, soy sauce (shōyu), and mirin. It is usually topped with thinly chopped scallions. Other common toppings include tempura, often prawn or kakiage (a type of mixed tempura fritter), or abura age, a type of deep-fried tofu pockets seasoned with sugar, mirin, and soy sauce. A thin slice of kamaboko, a halfmoon-shaped fish cake, is often added. Shichimi and beni shoga can be added to taste.

The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region. Usually, dark brown broth, made from dark soy sauce (koikuchi shōyu) is used in eastern Japan, and light brown broth, made from light soy sauce (usukuchi shōyu) is used in western Japan. This is even noticeable in packaged instant noodles, which are often sold in two different versions for east and west.

Soba (そば or 蕎麦, Soba?) is a type of thin Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. It is served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or in hot broth as a noodle soup. Moreover, it is not uncommon in Japan to refer to any thin noodle as soba in contrast to udon which are thick noodles made from wheat.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon for me please! Mmmmmmmm.

Nice think tasty udon done in a simple dashi stock, with spring onions. Kare udon also, mmmmmm.

furiku

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> To me how you prepare the noodles matters a whole lot more than what kind.

Or does saying just "soba" or "udon" imply a certain type of preparation as well as the kind of noodle?

Kavatar

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> @Rogz: Oh what a relavant and useful comment that was!

Not.

*paints Rogz*

DaiMacculate

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> If noodles were SF2 characters, soba is Ryu and udon is Ken.

So obviously Udon is better! :P

DaiMacculate

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon, no contest

Enkur

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon. definitely udon.

suburbancowboy

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Oh, how gaming related.

Rogz

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> I like both, but udon is my favorite. The chewy texture is just perfect.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Pho Ga, nothing quite like a rice based noodle with chicken from Vietnam. Be sure to put a lot of that Rooster hot sauce in there. :)

joe

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> While I'm sure soba is probably healthier, since everything 'wheaty' is generally always better for you than anything just plain 'white', I *love* me some udon.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon,most definitely.

Kiriphii

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Soba. For some reason, I always get scared that I'll choke on udon cause they're bigger. :( Silly me...

landonkun

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Udon all the way.

@WickedOrange: Look it up.

Inverse Logic

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> Both? Oh, I loves me some noodles.

I've heard an electric kettle is a real time saver when it comes to cooking. Cuts all that time you spend waiting for water to boil right out of the equation.

]]> <![CDATA[A Noodle Question]]> I really wish I knew what that stuff was... than maybe you'd be making me hungry... otherwise its just nonsense talk to me...
