Ingredients
- 500 g all-purpose flour (麵粉)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (鹽)
- 1 teaspoon lye water (鹼水)
- 3 large eggs (蛋) + enough water (水) to make a total of 250ml
- 1-2 tablespoon tapioca starch (菱粉) for dusting
Instructions
Make the dough:
- Place flour and salt in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Beat eggs, water and lye water in a separate bowl.
- Turn the mixer on to the lowest speed to mix the flour.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture into the flour to mix until it comes together.
- Transfer the mixture onto a work surface and knead with your hands for a few minutes, until it forms a rough dough.
- Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes (to relax the gluten).
- Knead the dough again until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions of 120g each. Flatten each dough into a disc.
- Let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.
Cup of Yum
Sheeting the noodle dough:
- Set up the pasta roller to the thickest setting and feed the disc of dough through.
- Fold the dough into thirds and fit it through the roller again.
- Place the dough onto a clean surface to rest and repeat with the remaining dough portions on the same setting.
Working through the various thickness settings:
- Working with the first piece off dough, change to the next setting, and repeat to re-roll the noodles.
- Hang the sheeted dough on a long rod.
- Repeat with each piece of dough, rolling it thinly until the thinnest setting.
- For the last (thinnest) setting, feed the dough a second time through to extend the dough into a long thin sheet.
Cut the noodles:
- Use the pasta cutter to cut out the dough into noodles (to your preferred thickness).
- Dust noodles with 1-2 tablespoon of tapioca starch to prevent sticking.
- Bundle each portion of noodles and cook, or freeze (well-wrapped) if not consuming right away.
Cook the noodles:
- Bring a pot of water up to a boil.
- Blanch the noodles in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until cooked through.
- Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water.
- Serve as desired.
