MAKING UDON NOODLES

Dissolve 1 tsp of salt in 2/3 cup of water. Put 2 1/2 cup of wheat flour in a bowl. Pour salted water over the flour little by little. Add all the salted water in the bowl and mix with flour by hands. Knead the dough for 10 minutes.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and press to a thin round. Set aside the dough for a few hours.

Spread some flour over a cutting board. Place the dough on the board and further flatten it with a rolling pin until the dough is about 1/8 inch thick. Spread some flour over the dough. Fold the dough and cut it into 1/5 inch width strips. And: Udon Noodles are Ready
