Sticky Oatmeal Udon - Bijin Udon Mochimugi - Short date

Sticky or glutinous barley is characterized by its content of dietary fiber (beta-carotene) 25 times greater than in white rice.
It suppresses the digestion and absorption of lipids and sugars and decreases the increase in the level of sugar in the blood.

Our recommendation : prepare a large saucepan with plenty of hot water (1 liter for 100 grams of udon). When the water comes to a boil, add the noodles.
Boil the udon, keeping it floating in the pot and stirring occasionally with chopsticks.
If the pot is about to overflow, add water once or twice during the boiling process.
After boiling 7-8 minutes, turn off the heat, then let stand for about 5-8 minutes, covering the pot.
The noodles will be soft and delicious.
If you boil the noodles a little harder, the noodles will steam well and be delicious.
Transfer the udon to a colander and pour in plenty of cold water to remove any moisture.
This will make the noodles soft and shiny.
For hot noodles, pass them again in boiling water to bring them back to temperature then put them in a bowl or a deep plate then pour over a tsuyu or a dashi broth with dried bonito.
For cold noodles, soak in ice water for 30 seconds to firm the noodles.
For garnishes, you can use green onion, chives, ginger, seaweed... as you wish.
