01
Cook the Udon Noodles
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add 250ml cold water and the udon noodles. The cold water helps the thick noodles cook more evenly all the way through.
If you're using frozen or fresh noodles, cook them for about 2 minutes, or until they're al dente. Dried noodles will take a bit longer, usually around 5–6 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and let them sit in the colander.
