Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the flours and the salt. Mix and knead in the water little by little. It will be very dry at first, but it will gradually form a ball.
- 2
When a ball of dough is formed, put it into a sturdy and large nylong bag. Sandwich the bag between newspapers, and step on the dough over the paper. When the dough is flattened, take it out of the bag, fold it over, put it back in the bag and step on it again. Continue for 20 minutes.
- 3
Form the dough into a ball again, wrap in plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
- 4
Take the dough out of the plastic wrap and cut it up into single sized portions. Flour the cutting board, rolling pin, your hands and the dough balls with flour or katakuriko, and roll out each portion of dough with the rolling pin.
- 5
Fold the rolled out dough into thirds, and slice into evenly sized noodles. Dust the cut dough with flour or katakuriko as soon as it's cut to prevent it from sticking, and loosen the noodles.
- 6
This is how the noodles look after being cut and dusted with flour. If you want to store the noodles, wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerator. It will keep for about 3 days.
- 7
Bring plenty of water to a boil in a pot. Put in the udon noodles while pulling them apart, and cook them for about 10 minutes. Make sure the water doesn't boil over.
- 8
Drain the noodles into a colander, cool them well in cold water, and they're done! You can use the noodles as-is to eat cold dipped into a dipping sauce or in other cold noodle dishes. To serve in a hot udon noodle dish, warm them up in boiling water.

Handmade Udon Noodles Handmade Udon Noodles
There are many different ingredient ratios for making udon noodles. I tried several versions, and of them all I thought this one is the best, so I decided to upload it.You don't have to buy medium-strength or all-purpose flour just to make udon noodles. (Translator's note: all-purpose flour is not usually stocked in Japanese home kitchens, but bread and cake flour often are.)It's often written that you need to adjust the amount of water used from 40 to 45% depending on the season, but I find that dough with just 40% water is too stiff and hard to knead! Dough made with 45% water is still very delicious.In the wintertime, try to rest the dough in as warm a place as possible. Recipe by ondine

Handmade Udon Noodles Handmade Udon Noodles
This is a delicious and simple variation of an udon recipe that I learned. I think it's perfect for beginners. The elasticity and smoothness of homemade noodles is the best. Give it a try and let me know what kind of soup you had with these udon noodles.You can use either bread flour or cake flour, or you can use 50 g of each. They tend to stick together, so dust them with flour really well. If you aren't cooking them straight away, cover with cling film so that they won't dry out. The texture of the udon noodles won't be as nice as the ones freshly made, but you can boil them firmly, then freeze to store. I cook 50 g of udon noodles per serving. Recipe by mini -

Springy Homemade Udon Noodles Springy Homemade Udon Noodles
Homemade udon noodles are awesome! It may seem like there is too much salt, but when they are boiled most of it will be washed off, so there's no need to worry about it.If you slice the noodles to match the thickness you want after they have been boiled, they won't come out nice. They'll become sticky like dumplings and they will fall apart.Slice to 3-4 mm thick.Since the noodles firm up quite a bit when cooled, it doesn't really work if you try to test the hardness while they are hot.
