Udon noodles are a type of noodles made from wheat, with special regulations on thickness and length. The taste is between cut noodles and rice noodles, and the taste is soft. with carefully prepared soup, it becomes a delicious noodles. It is a white, coarse (diameter 4-6 millimeters) noodle made by mixing salt and water into flour. Its process flow is also quite well researched.
The main preparation process of udon noodles production equipment includes: vacuum mixing, lamination, continuous maturation, continuous rolling, a certain amount of cutting, steaming, washing, acid mixing, packaging, sterilization, and cooling.
The taste and quality of the noodles in the process are determined by the first two steps of vacuum kneading and laminating. Vacuum kneading: Imported kneading equipment generally uses vacuum kneading to fully absorb and expand the gluten, gluten, and starch particles in wheat flour, forming a gluten network. When kneading, add the raw materials according to the formula into the dough mixer, add 36-38% water and stir. The kneading time is generally 15-20 minutes, and the temperature should be controlled at 20-30 ° C.
monolithic rolling machine: The dough is rolled to form a tightly organized and adhesive dough band, enhancing its toughness and strength. Continuous ripening: The dough belt runs continuously through the conveyor belt for 30 minutes to fully ripen. During this process, the dough belt naturally enhances the strength of the gluten network tissue, while allowing the protein to evenly absorb water, improving the viscoelasticity and softness of the dough, creating favorable conditions for the next step of the process.
Continuous rolling and quantitative cutting: The matured dough is rolled through multiple passes to form thin slices of 1.3-1.4mm. This can make the gluten network of the noodles more delicate, and then perform quantitative cutting. Generally, the length of the noodles is 25-35cm, and the diameter of the noodles is 1.2-1.5mm.
Our udon noodle production line at Dongfang Naomu Food Machinery Co., Ltd. has a reasonable equipment structure design, strong adaptability to use, and easy operation in installation, use, and maintenance. From the method of making noodles to the taste of the finished product, it is similar to the artificially made udon noodles.
