How to Make Udon Noodle Salad
- **Prep Ahead:** Prepare the vegetables and dressing. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for optimal freshness and flavor.
- **Cook the Noodles:** Cook udon noodles according to package directions (usually about 2-3 minutes). Immediately drain in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water until completely cool to the touch.
- **Remove Excess Starch:** Let the noodles drain for 5 minutes, then rinse again and gently shake to remove as much excess starch as possible. This prevents the salad from becoming gummy.
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the chilled udon noodles, cucumber, and edamame. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- **Garnish and Chill (Optional):** Garnish with grated carrot. For the best flavor, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy immediately for a quicker option!
- Serve and enjoy!
