Recipe

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast about 30 whole black peppercorns without burning until fragrant and lightly golden.
Once the peppercorns are aromatic and the insides turn yellow, add 200ml water to the pan and bring to a boil.
When the water boils, add the udon noodles and let them sit without stirring for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute so they naturally separate.
Once the noodles have softened and separated, cook for another minute, then turn off the heat.
With the water still slightly in the pan and the heat off, add generous amounts of butter and grated cheese.
Stir the noodles to emulsify the butter and cheese with the remaining moisture into a thick sauce.
Add about 5 drops of lemon juice, mix well, and plate.
Optionally top with trout roe or flying fish roe as garnish.

Toast whole black peppercorns over medium heat until fragrant.
Add water, bring to a boil, then add udon noodles and cook.
Turn off heat, add butter and cheese to make a sauce.
Finish with lemon juice and trout roe.

Cooking tips

Toast whole peppercorns slowly over medium heat so the heat reaches the inside, making them crispy like crackers with less spiciness.
Do not force the noodles apart immediately after adding them to water; wait at least 30 seconds before gently separating to avoid breaking.
Using whole peppercorns that you toast yourself is far better in flavor and texture than pre-ground pepper.
