Homemade Noodles
Homemade noodles, freshly made, with an ultra-bouncy texture.
Equipment
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 Pair of Chopsticks
- 1 Sheet of Plastic Wrap
- 1 Rolling Pin
- Knife or use a Pasta Roller and Cutter
- Sauce Pot
- Colander or Sieve
Ingredients
- ~2 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (120 mL) water
Instructions
Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sea salt, and water. Stir with chopsticks or a fork. Continue adding water until the dough starts to come together. Use your hands to knead the dough in the bowl until it forms a rough ball. The dough should barely come together and feel really dry.
Rest
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 mins. This allows the gluten to relax and rehydrate. 2. Unwrap and knead until smooth and looks hydrated, approximately 5 minutes.
- Rewrap the dough in plastic wrap and rest for another 30 mins.
Roll
- After resting, roll the dough into a large 16” circle about 1-2 mm thick, using a rolling pin.
- Dust the top with a teaspoon of flour if needed to prevent sticking. Fold the sheet into thirds.
- Slice the folded dough into equal sized strips to form noodles. I cut mine into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Cook
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add in the noodles one strand at a time to the boiling water and stir to prevent sticking. Cook the noodles for about 3-5 mins continuously stirring until they are tender but still have a bit of bite (al dente).
- Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water.
Assemble
- Toss the cooked noodles with your favorite sauce cold or stir-fry them with vegetables and protein of your choice.If you've tried this recipe, please click to add a rating and leave a comment below!
