If there are no noodle shops in your area, then it is a good idea to learn how to make your own oriental noodles.
What You’ll Need:
- Salt
- Flour
- Water
- 2 Bowls
- Gallon Size Storage Bag
- Mix together your 1 1/5 cup of water as well as 3 tablespoons of salt in a bowl. Get another bowl and put 3 cups of flour in it. Add most of the water with salt in it to the flour.
- Use your hands to mix, do this until the flour has started to stick. Add the rest of the salt water and mix thoroughly. The dough itself should have a powdery and rough texture.
- Scrape the dough together and flatten it; the dough cannot be cracked as you do this. Put the dough into your storage bag. Be sure that the bag has no air in it as you seal it. Put it on the floor.
- Press on the bag of dough until it is completely flat and fills up the bag.
- Give the dough an hour to rise if it is warmer out, it will need 2 hours if it is cold. You can then put it on a counter and fold it in half and knead it a few times. Put it back in the bag and follow the previous steps.
- Roll the dough until it is about ½ inch thick. Make into a rectangle as you flatten it. Cut the dough into ½ strips and boil them in water, cook for about 3 ½ minutes.
