Homemade noodles have a wonderful chewiness that I love. Sure, they’re more work than opening a box of dried pasta, but for special occasions you may find they’re worth it.
Basic Homemade Noodles
Rating
Ingredients
- 3 Tbs - flax meal (ground flax seed)
- 9 Tbs - water
- 1/2 cup - soy milk, plain and unsweetened
- 3 1/2 cups - whole-grain flour
Instructions
- Using a wire whisk, beat the flax meal and water together for one minute. Let rest for 5 minutes, then whisk again for 1 minute. Stir in the soy milk.
- Add the flour and stir to bring the ingredients together. Your hands work well for this. Turn the dough onto a work surface and knead until smooth, dusting your hands with flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the dough to about 1/8"-1/4" thick. Use a pizza wheel or sharp knife to cut the dough into long noodles. I make mine about 1/4"-1/2" wide.
- Loosely pile the noodles and allow them to air dry until ready to use, up to a few hours.
- When ready to cook the noodles, add them to a large pot of boiling water. Cook for about 2 minutes and gently remove them to a colander to drain before serving in your favorite recipe.
