Homemade Udon Noodles
Skip ahead if using prepackaged noodles.
Step 1
If using a pasta maker add all of the dry ingredients and then slowly add in the warm water. Cut the pasta as it extrudes.
Step 2
If hand cutting the noodles, add the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Gently pour the mixture onto a counter and make a deep indent in the center of the flour. Slowly pour in the warm water into the center of the flour mixture while whisking with a fork. Eventually the dough should start to form and then gently fold in the remainder of the flour and work it into a shaggy dough. Knead until smooth and roll out to 1 inch thick and cut the noodles.

Step 3
Chop all of the vegetables and garlic. Set aside with the mushrooms in one bowl and the peppers, garlic, and onion in another. Trim the kale if necessary and set aside in another bowl.
Step 4
Set the homemade udon noodles to boil or cook the udon noodles according to the package directions.
Step 5
While the noodles are boiling, stir-fry the oyster, maitake, and shiitake mushrooms in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the miso, garlic, onion, red pepper, makrut leaves (if using), and ginger (if using), then cook until the onion is translucent. Add the kale to the skillet and cook for a few minutes, or until it is wilted.
Step 7
Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, and cooked udon noodles to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer until the sauce has thickened a bit. Season with ginger to taste.
Step 8
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, serve immediately and enjoy!
