What are Udon Noodles?
Udon noodles are a type of thick wheat noodle originating from Japan. They are usually white and have a soft, doughy feel that distinguishes them from other Asian noodles. Udon noodles are versatile and can be used in a variety of snacks, including soups, stir-fries, and cold salads. The key to mastering udon noodles is to learn the various ways they may be made, as well as the art of selecting the appropriate sauce or toppings.
Two delicious dipping sauces
Freshly made and cooked udon noodles can be served straight with two delicious dips.
1) Udon Noodles with Chilli Oil Sauce:
- Udon Noodles: To begin, prepare the Moi Soi udon noodles according to package directions. Typically, this entails boiling them for 10 minutes in water until they are soft yet slightly chewy. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to cool them down and remove excess starch.
- Chilli Oil Sauce Mix: Combine Moi Soi's chilli oil sauce, which has a delicious spicy kick, in a mixing bowl. Adjust the quantity to your personal level of spiciness. For each dish of udon noodles, add 2-3 tablespoons of the chilli oil sauce.
- Toss the Noodles: Toss the cooled udon noodles with the combined chilli oil sauce. Stir the noodles carefully to coat them equally with the sauce.
- Garnish: Finish with a garnish of finely sliced green onions on top of your udon noodles. This not only adds to the aesthetic beauty of the meal but also provides a refreshing contrast to the heat of the chilli oil.
- Preparing Udon Noodles: Begin by cooking Moi Soi udon noodles until tender yet still little chewy. To cool and remove excess starch, drain and rinse the noodles with cold water.
- Add Black Bean Sauce: Moi Soi's Black Bean Sauce is rich and savoury, and it goes great with udon noodles. Warm the black bean sauce slowly in a small saucepan. To get the correct consistency, add a few drops of water.
- Coat the Noodles: Combine the warmed Moi Soi Black Bean Sauce with the prepared udon noodles. Toss them together to ensure that the sauce coats the noodles evenly. This produces a delectable combination of umami and savoury flavours that match the texture of the udon.
- Flavour Enhancement: To improve the flavour of the meal, put finely chopped cilantro on top of the sauced udon noodles. The freshness and herbaceous tones of cilantro complement the deep flavours of the black bean sauce. This recipe provides a savoury, somewhat tangy, and multi-dimensional flavour experience that is sure to please your palate.
