Use the slow cooker's "low" setting to create a rich, savory broth for your udon kiri. Let the ingredients simmer for hours, drawing out deep flavors from chicken, vegetables, and seasonings. The slow cooker’s "keep warm" feature allows you to maintain the broth’s temperature while you prepare the udon.
With the Instant Pot, you can quickly make udon kiri in a fraction of the time. Use the "sauté" function to cook your aromatics (onions, garlic, ginger), then switch to "pressure cook" for a fast and flavorful broth. If using pre-made udon noodles, you can also cook them directly in the Instant Pot to keep everything in one pot.
The air fryer is perfect for making crispy toppings like tempura or roasted vegetables to complement your udon kiri. Simply toss the ingredients in a bit of oil and seasoning, then let the air fryer crisp them to golden perfection, adding texture and flavor without deep frying.
The udon-kiri, or udon knife, must be held at a specific angle to ensure clean and even cuts of the noodle dough.
Too fast or too slow of a cut can lead to unevenly shaped noodles.
Slicing through the dough takes practice and technique, and mastering this skill requires patience and perseverance.
Depending on the desired thickness of the udon noodles, the blade must be adjusted accordingly.
The texture and humidity of the dough can affect the cutting process and requires adjustments to the blade angle and cutting speed.
