Cooking tips
- For the best aroma and richness in the sesame dressing, roast the sesame seeds in a pan just before grinding them in a mortar—this will dramatically enhance their nutty flavor compared to store-bought seeds.
- Make sure to fully dry the udon noodles after rinsing under cold water; any remaining moisture will dilute the dressing and dashi, so thorough straining is essential for proper sauce adhesion.
- Don’t discard the leftover katsuobushi solids after straining the broth—chop finely and simmer with sugar and soy sauce to make a delicious filling for onigiri (rice balls), turning it into a delightful side dish.
Recommended for
