Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
One of my favorite portable lunches or quick snacks to share with my kids is an udon
sushi roll. It's made the same way you would prepare regular maki sushi except thick, chewy udon noodles are subsituted
for rice.My local natural foods supermarket sells these rolls in the deli case and they are delicious, but they are not hard to make at home. My favorite version includes cooked udon noodles tossed with a little sesame oil (or peanut oil for milder flavor), a shmear of umeboshi paste (or wasabi), sliced avocado, some shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and a sprinkling of nori furikake or toasted sesame seeds for crunch.
Roll ingredients up in a sheet of nori then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and chill. (The chilling helps with slicing later.) Serve sliced or eat temaki-style (like a burrito!).

Nothing against udon (love it) but soba noodles are a little heartier and healthier; more fiber and stuff. As for flavoring, I'd go for a soup-stock kinda dipping sauce, or throw some slivered (cooked) burdock w/pinches of shredded chicken and maybe a little cayenne pepper.
