Fresh, Handmade Japanese Udon Noodles in Taichung, Taiwan | Veggie Island

Host Aggie Hsieh (#謝沛恩) is headed to Taichung, Taiwan to check out a vegetarian restaurant serving authentic Japanese, handmade udon noodles. But she ends up finding many more delicious options than she bargained for!
Zi Wu Tong (#子梧桐) is a famous yet humble vegetarian restaurant in Taichung, Taiwan. Chef-owner Yang Shih-chang is legendary in Taiwan's culinary scene for his homemade udon noodles, which he makes fresh daily. Yang’s restaurant offers several vegetarian udon noodle flavors, side dishes and griddled pancake snacks that are so delicious, they often sell out within hours of opening.
In this episode, witness how chef Yang creates his masterful dishes, including his udon noodles, black and white sesame tofu dessert, and iron griddle pancakes. Using traditional techniques, Yang transforms simple, fresh ingredients into flavorful meals and snacks that satisfy both vegetarian and non-vegetarian customers. He has even reimagined the Taiwanese fried chicken steak in a vegetarian form, made from breaded king oyster mushrooms and deep fried for an irresistibly crunchy texture.
Despite its traditional approach to food, there are many new dishes to discover at Taichung’s Zi Wu Tong restaurant. Follow Aggie as she gets a taste of fresh and innovative Japanese food in Taiwan!

小時候還可以吃稍微偏台式的日本正統烏龍麵, 現在無論去那裡再也找不到了.
