Ingredients

▢ 1 ½ cup (200 g) all-purpose flour
▢ ⅜ cup + 1 tbsp (110 g) lukewarm water
▢ 2 tsp salt
▢ 2 tbsp cornstarch or more

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the salt in lukewarm water. Add all-purpose flour and knead with the dough hook attached into a smooth dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each out into a rectangle using a rolling pin.
Set up your pasta maker! Dust your pasta maker, work surface, and hands with flour. Roll the dough twice through the pasta maker with the widest setting.
Click the pasta maker down a setting and roll the pasta dough through twice again. ➝ It should have a thickness of ~ ½ inch (3-4mm).
No pasta maker? Roll out the dough using a rolling pin.
Dust the dough with cornstarch and fold like an accordion. Cut the folded dough into thick noodles using a sharp knife.
Repeat with the second half.
Cook the noodles in boiling salt water for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water.
Use your homemade udon noodles for Yaki Udon, Udon Stir-Fry, Ramen, or any Japanese recipe of your choice.

Notes

Cornstarch: To prevent the freshly made noodles from sticking, it’s important to generously dust your hands, work surface, and pasta roller with cornstarch.
Storage: The noodles stay fresh for 2 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Freeze: To make them last longer, freeze the raw noodles without cooking in a freezer bag (preferably in portions). They will last in the freezer for 3 months. Cook the frozen noodles directly in boiling salt water for 12 minutes.
