This is the first time we have made fresh noodles at home and we were really happy with how they turned out.

The tricky part of making fresh noodles at home is that it requires a lot of space to roll out the dough or takes a while to master the proper technique.

The texture is a bit chewy and definitely has a nice bounce to it, similar to udon noodles. If you're a fan of udon, we urge you to try out this recipe at home!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt

Method

  1. Combine the flour, water, and salt in a bowl and mix with a spoon until a rough dough is formed
  2. Knead the dough until it forms a ball. If it is too try, add some extra water. If it is too sticky, add more flour. The perfect dough consistency should be soft but not stick to your hands
  3. Let the dough sit for around 30 minutes
  4. Bring a pot of water to a boil
  5. Cut the dough into little slivers straight into the pot of water. Bonus points if your scissors have grooves because it will give the noodles some extra tecture
  6. Cook for around 2-3 minutes
  7. Serve up immediately!
