The Pasta Maker Egg Noodle

Ingredients
  

Equipment

  • Marcato Pasta Machine https://amzn.to/2pNMZR8

Materials

  • 2 cups Plain flour
  • 1/2 cup water + 1 egg Total liquid not more than 1/2 cup leave out eggs if you are making white-based wrappers like for gyoza or ??
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup corn flour for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients together and knead until they come together. It takes muscles!
  • Divide into 4 portions.

Rolling method

  • First, we need to create the gluten to get the QQ or bouncy mouth feel of Chinese noodles.
  • Pinch together one portion of the dough and flatten it a bit. It should be very hard to do, since it should not come together easily.
  • Run through the machine at #0.
  • Fold the dough in half, and roll through the machine again. Do this until your dough is super smooth, like the skin of a baby's bump.
  • Cover both sides of the dough generously with corn flour.
  • Adjust the machine to #2. Run the dough through.
  • If you are making ramen or fine noodles, run the dough through #3, #5. Then stop.
  • Fix the cutter and cut the noodles.
  • If you are making mee pok, go to #6 and cut using the fatter cutter.
  • If you are making dumplings, work through from #2, #5, #7, #8
  • If you are making wontons or gyozas, work through from #2, #5, #7, #9.
  • For wrappers, cut into circles using cookie cutters of 3 inch diameter.
