how about boiling them first? :hehe: then you decide to make soup or fry them in wok/frying pan.

dont forget to wash them with cold water when you're done boiling.

I'll do that :mrgreen: First time cooking Udon noodles, ahah better to cook them then go eat them at Restaurants :hehe:
* edit I was jest thinking..why do I put them in cold water after boiling them? is that what yeur suppose to do?

Thanks both of yeu!=p

well, putting any noodle in cold water should stop the cooking process... it makes the udon more... hmm.. chewy and a bit harder, otherwise, i've had it turn to mushy pieces of rope.

Checking it regularly is very important, as is draining the water when it's done.

untill u have the time right ... checking not needed ... i never check .. salt and oil does the inbetween checking and keeps them separate

but if it says 6 min ... then 6min and it is ready for draining

pasta - it is so damn fast .... :hehe: becomes addictive for lazy asses like me

I need to go back to my food mart.. I was driving around one day and I found another Asian food mart store.. However I have to check it out, as I saw one in Indiana and it said Asian food mart, but it was all South East Asian stuff.
