Tenobe Udon is a traditional style of udon noodle making that originated in Japan. "Tenobe" translates to "hand-kneaded" or "hand-stretched," reflecting the unique technique used to prepare the udon noodles. Unlike machine-made udon noodles, which are commonly found in stores, tenobe udon noodles are handmade by skilled artisans.
Tenobe udon noodles are prized for their chewy texture and rustic appearance, with slight variations in thickness and shape due to the handcrafted nature of the process. They are typically served in hot broth or chilled with a dipping sauce, along with various toppings such as green onions, tempura, kamaboko, and sliced fish cake.
After boiling the noodles in plenty of hot water, drain them in a colander, rinse them under running water, drain them, then it's ready to use.
