 Homemade Udon Noodles Recipe


Ingredients:

For the Udon Noodles:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Additional flour for dusting

For the Udon Soup:

  • 4 cups dashi broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sake (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Toppings: Sliced green onions, shredded nori (seaweed), and thinly sliced radishes

Instructions:

Make the Udon Noodles:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while stirring until the mixture forms a dough.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Fold the dough in half and then in half again. Cut into thin strips to form the udon noodles.
  4. Dust the noodles with additional flour to prevent sticking. Set aside until ready to cook.

Cook the Udon Noodles:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight chewiness.
  2. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.

Prepare the Udon Soup:

  1. In a separate pot, combine the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), sugar, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more soy sauce or sugar if needed.

Assemble the Udon Soup:

  1. Divide the cooked udon noodles among serving bowls.
  2. Pour the hot udon soup over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a good amount of broth.
  3. Garnish the udon soup with sliced green onions, shredded nori, and thinly sliced radishes.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade udon noodles!

This homemade udon noodle soup is a comforting and versatile dish. Feel free to customize the toppings and broth according to your preferences. It's perfect for a cozy night in or a gathering with friends and family.
