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. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Cooking Instructions
- 1
These are the only ingredients. Thoroughly dissolve the salt into the water.
- 2
Gradually add the water to the center of the all-purpose flour (leave behind 50 ml for later.) Stir together with you hand to break up the clumps.
- 3
If there are clumps, break them apart. If the flour turns somewhat yellow, as seen in the picture, it's okay. Pour in the remaining 50 ml of salt water.
- 4
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Fold it over, push it out, and repeat. If you put it in a plastic bag and step on it to knead, they will become firm and chewy.
- 5
Once you have finished kneading the dough, put it in a plastic bag and let it sit for 1 hour. If making this in the summer, let it sit for less than an hour. If making this in the winter, you should probably let it sit for longer.
- 6
Once the time has passed, gently knead the dough again and let it sit for about 20 minutes. If you skip this process, the next step will be pretty difficult to perform (if you stretch it out, it will move back into place).
- 7
Use a rolling pin to spread out the dough to 3mm thick. Do your best to make the thickness uniform! I used a large wooden pestle as a rolling pin.
- 8
Dust a large amount of flour onto the rolled out noodle dough. Fold the dough like an accordion and slice strips of dough with a knife. The thickness and width should be about 3 mm.
- 9
After slicing the noodles, if you bundle them into individual portions, they will be convenient to manage. Before you will be boiling the noodles, dust with a lot of flour.
- 10
Boil the noodles in a pot of water for about 8-10 minutes or until they are done. When you are testing the hardness of the noodles, please dip them in cold water.
- 11
Once the noodles have boiled, drain the water and rinse with running water to cool them off while at the same time rinsing off the slime. Arrange in a bowl and they're done!

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 -

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 -

I replicated her noodles and uploaded the recipe here!I ate these noodles with my DIY noodle dipping sauce, which is also based on my grandmother's recipe.-You can roughly measure the ingredients. Add enough water so that the dough comes together.-I recommend using all-purpose flour. You could use cake flour, but it won't be as chewy.-I've added tips to each step, so consult them while you're making these. Recipe by Myajima -

Thai-Style Stir-Fried Udon Noodles Thai-Style Stir-Fried Udon Noodles
I made some stir fried udon when I was visiting friends in Bangkok. They were out of soy sauce so I tried using Thai fish sauce instead. Although people in Bangkok use limes, lemon is a fine substitute.Now I'm very fond of stir fried udon with nam pla.Microwave the udon noodles briefly to warm them up, and untangle them in advance. If you are using frozen noodles, rinse them in water to get rid of any surface stickiness.If you add some fresh coriander, it will taste more like Thai cooking!I recommend adding cherry tomatoes. For 1 serving. Recipe by Wanko mama
