Nabeyaki udon is a traditional dish consisting of thick udon noodles and vegetables that are cooked in a flavorful dashi stock and served with various toppings. The dish was named after a specific cooking style in which the ingredients are cooked and served in small clay pots called donabe or nabe.

The most common condiments served on top are tempura shrimps, fish cakes, boiled chicken, and poached or boiled eggs. Since it is always served hot, nabeyaki udon is considered to be a comforting winter dish and can be found on the menus of traditional Japanese udon restaurants throughout the country.
