Making udon noodles

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Aug 20th 2005 @ 7:33PM

Before I discovered a decent Asian market in my area, I toyed with the idea of making udon noodles at home. The first thing I did, of course, was ask those internets. What did I find? Well, plenty of recipes for making udon, but this one, in particular, is a keeper. To be clear, I never made any noodles at home. Really, the animated .gifs on this page are the main reason it still has a home in my bookmarks. I like the idea of kneading the dough with your feet almost as much as I like the little animation of some feet dancing on dough. The dozing ball of dough is equally charming.

It was fascinating to watch as a blob of dough was folded, stretched and twisted into dozens of spaghetti-like strands. Does anyone know this technique, or where I can find it explained on the internets?
