Noodles from Scratch - Flour - Salt - Egg - Fast and Easy Method
Boil Them Just Like Bagged/Boxed Noodles
There Used to be Rules for Noodles
When I was introduced to noodle making in the 1980s, my friend would take up the entire kitchen with the project. She'd have noodles hanging on the backs of the chairs to dry for hours. Apparently, someone had taught her to dry them first.
Well. I never dry mine. I just mix up the dough and cut them with a pizza cutter and throw them into boiling water.
The noodle texture is thick and puffy. I like to cook mine is water that has a boullion cube melted in it. Salted water is fine too. I am sure you could cook them in unsalted water, but why?
When I make homemade soup, I usually cook the noodles separately from the soup and add them to the soup once they are cooked. Then I discard the noodle water. I am sure that you could cook the noodles and use the water for your soup, but usually I have my soup made before I start the noodles.
You do your soup however you want. This page is about how to make the noodles.
