Nissin Donbei is a popular Japanese instant noodle series specializing in udon and soba noodles. Unlike ramen, Donbei features thick, chewy udon or buckwheat soba noodles in flavorful broths like kitsune udon (sweet soy broth with fried tofu) and tempura soba (dashi broth with crispy tempura).

Nissin Donbei Udon features thick wheat noodles served in a rich dashi-based broth, often with toppings like fried tofu (kitsune udon) or crispy tempura (tempura udon). Nissin Donbei Soba, on the other hand, is made with buckwheat soba noodles and offers a lighter, slightly nutty taste, commonly paired with tempura or duck dashi broth.

Making Nissin Donbei instant noodles is easy:

1. Open the lid halfway and remove the seasoning packets.
2. Pour boiling water up to the fill line.
3. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes (udon) or 3-4 minutes (soba).
4. Add the seasoning and mix well before enjoying your authentic Japanese udon or soba!
