Making Homemade Udon Noodles

1. Put 100g wheat flour and 70g cotton tofu in a bowl and mix together. Do not add water.
2. Mix the dough until it comes together into a ball.
3. Place the dough in the center of a plastic bag and step on it.

4. When the dough spreads out, fold it back, put in a plastic bag and step on it again. Repeat this procedure three times until the dough has the consistency of an earlobe.
5. Again, shape dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap, being careful not to have an air bubble in the wrap as this can cause uneven heating.
6. Heat wrapped dough in a 700 watt microwave for 20-30 seconds.

7. Sprinkle some flour on both the top and bottom surface of the dough and roll it out to desired thickness. Sprinkle with flour, fold and cut it.

8. Boil noodles for about 2 minutes.

9. Wash the noodles in cold water for good texture. Add to warmed dashi broth.

10. Sprinkle with bonito flakes, scallions and strips of abura agae (fried tofu).

ENJOY!
