Cooking tips
Use frozen udon noodles for best texture
These have the best bounciest texture unlike the vacuum sealed kind that are stored at room temperature. The latter breaks off easily and have a denser texture.
Only blanch udon until loosened β do not boil
We are simply warming up the noodles to loosen them. Donβt forget we are frying them over medium high heat later.
