I used pasta making machine Atlas 150 Marcato made in Italy 👍
3.5mm cutter roller is perfect but 6mm (which comes with the machine) is good, too.

You need only 4 ingredients! Using a bread machine and a pasta maker machine, you can make silky-smooth and chewy Udon noodles in a minute!!! (Any bread machine is OK if it can knead)
FYI: Perfectly kneaded dough is the KEY to activate the gluten in the flour and gives the noodles the silky-smooth and chewy texture. This is why we used a bread machine. My mom used to make udon like this when we lived in Jordan many many years ago 😉Using hands or feet is pretty much a work if you want to serve udon quickly for family.

| How to Make Udon Noodles |
If you don't have a bread machine, you can put the dough in a plastic bag, wrap in a towel, and knead with your feet for about 5 minutes until smooth. If you use your hands (palms) it may take for about 15 minutes.

Homemade Udon Noodles from Scratch
Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 15min + 2hrs resting time
Number of servings: n/a
Ingredients
4 cups (500g) all purpose flour
1 cup (240ml) water
1 tbsp. salt
1 egg white
Directions:
((Using a machine))
1. Put all the ingredients in a bread machine and knead.
2. Place the dough in a plastic bag and rest for about 2 hours.
3. Divide it into 5, roll out the dough and put through the pasta maker machine at the dial to the widest setting (usually setting number 1). Feed it through the rollers.
4. Then begin rolling it thinner, by turning the dial to the next narrowest setting (most likely number 2).
5. Attach the noodle-cutting attachment to the pasta machine (3.5mm or 6mm is perfect for Udon), sprinkle the dough lightly with flour, and feed it into the cutting attachment.
6. Cook the Udon in boiling water for 10 minutes. Wash the noodles very well with running water if you want to serve cold Udon.
7. Serve the udon with shredded Nori seaweed sheet, wasabi, chopped onions, and Tsuyu (dipping sauce). You can also serve with Tempura! Yummy!
((by hands or feet))
1. Mix water and salt very well to make salted water.
2. Add water little by little then quickly mix with your hand until the dough crumbles. Make sure water is mixed evenly. When you see a lump, you want to crumble it.
3. Form it into a ball.
4. Knead the dough for 15 minutes using your palms, just like you make a bread, stretch the dough for a few times using your palms, fold it in half, turn it around (90C), and stretch again. Repeat and knead until smooth. You can put the dough in a plastic bag and step it on with your feet for 5 minutes, this allows you to get much more pressure on the dough to activate the gluten.
5. Put it in a plastic bag, rest the dough for 2 hours at a room temperature.
6. Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle, sprinkle lightly with flour, then fold it into thirds, slice it into 0.2 inch (5mm) or as you desire.
7. Cook the Udon in boiling water for 10 minutes. Wash the noodles very well with running water if you want to serve cold Udon.
8. Serve the udon with shredded Nori seaweed sheet, wasabi, chopped onions, and Tsuyu (dipping sauce). You can also serve with Tempura! Yummy!
((Udon Dashi))
Boil 600ml Dashi broth (made with Dashi powder is ok), 2 tsp. Soy sauce, 1 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake), ½ tsp. Salt in a pot.
