Chef Tips

- Sprinkle wheat flour or cornstarch generously over the opened dough before folding and cutting the strips. - Cut the strips with a uniform thickness of half a centimeter so that they cook evenly in the boiling water. - Sauté the vegetables over very high heat in the skillet to create a light char while maintaining the crunchy texture.

Variations

- Udon with fresh mushrooms: add sliced shimeji or button mushrooms to the zucchini sauté. - Udon in hot soup: instead of sautéing, serve the fresh pasta strips in bowls with dashi broth and hot soy sauce. - Version with golden tofu: add breaded and grilled tofu cubes to add plant-based protein to the dish.

Substitutions

- Wheat flour: use special flour for pasta or combine with 10% cornstarch for elastic texture. - Red bell pepper: can be replaced by yellow bell pepper, broccoli florets, or bean sprouts. - Sesame oil: use mild olive oil or sunflower oil with some toasted sesame seeds.

How to Store

The raw dough can be kept in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 days. The ready-made dish sautéed with vegetables lasts up to 2 days in a closed container under refrigeration.

Can You Freeze It?

The raw cut and floured dough can be frozen in nests on a baking sheet and then stored in a plastic bag for up to 60 days. Cook from frozen directly in boiling water.

What to Serve With

Accompany with crispy vegetable tempura, sesame cabbage salad, or sweet and sour ginger preserve. Hot Japanese green tea or light craft beer are good pairings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the udon dough need to rest for 30 minutes?

The rest hydrates the starch particles and relaxes the gluten fibers, allowing you to roll it out without the dough shrinking.

Can I make udon dough without egg?

Yes, the traditional Japanese classic recipe only uses wheat flour, water, and salt, resulting in highly elastic white strands.

How to prevent udon strands from sticking after cutting?

Sprinkle plenty of wheat flour or starch over the cut strips and loosen them gently with your hands before cooking.

What is the ideal cooking time for fresh pasta?

Fresh udon cooks quickly in boiling salted water between 4 and 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cut.
