Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water, as needed (approximately 2-3 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using your hands or a fork, adding water a tablespoon at a time as needed until a stiff dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Roll and Cut Noodles: Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface with a rolling pin. Then, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into your desired noodle widths, typically around 1/4 inch wide strips.
  3. Boil Until Tender: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the noodles into the boiling water and cook for 2-4 minutes or until they float to the surface and reach your preferred tenderness. Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your choice of sauce, broth, or stir-fry.

Notes

  • For finer noodles, roll the dough thinner and cut into thinner strips.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour during kneading.
  • Fresh noodles cook much faster than dried ones; watch closely to prevent overcooking.
  • You can dry leftover noodles for later use by laying them flat on a baking sheet.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of black pepper or herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
