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.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Make the salt water. Warm up 90 ml of water just enough that the salt will dissolve in it easily. Dissolve the salt in it, and leave the water to cool down to room temperature. (10 g of salt is 2 teaspoons)
* Step 2
Combine the flours in a bowl. Add the salt water to this little by little while you mix it into the flours. (Don't worry if it looks like there's not enough water in the dough at this stage.)
* Step 3
Form the dough into a ball, cover completely with plastic wrap, and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. (The flour will become permeated with the moisture in the dough as it rests.)
* Step 4
Put the dough in a doubled up thick plastic bag (or two plastic bags). Step on the dough evenly, starting from the middle and working towards the edges.
* Step 5
When the dough is flat, take it out of the bag, fold up up into a small bundle again, return to the bag and step on it until it's flattened. Repeat about 5 more times.
* Step 6
If you have the time, keep folding and stepping on it again and again. Step on it with your kids, step on it with your hubby, step on it with your lover.
* Step 7
When you've stepped on it as much was you want, roll the dough up, wrap it in plastic and rest it for 30 minutes to an hour. (You can skip this resting step, but it's better if you don't.)
* Step 8
After the dough has rested, flour a cutting board and roll the dough out very very thinly with a rolling pin.
* Step 9
Dust with more flour and fold the dough, and slice it into noodles from the edge.
* Step 10
Separate the cut noodles as you dust it with more flour.
* Step 11
Boil the udon noodles in plenty of water. (If you're serving them cold, cook for a slightly longer time.)
* Step 12
Rinse the cooked noodles well in cold water until the surface stickiness is gone. Serve with toppings of your choice.
