Homemade Noodles

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup warm Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Chicken Base

Instructions
 

  • Combine Water and Chicken base thoroughly, then mix with flour in a bowl - a stand mixer works well if you have one. Combine until the mixture comes together - don't worry about overmixing. It may look a little dry at first - keep mixing for a few minutes and only add a touch more water if really needed.
  • Now we knead! This step takes patience, but your patience will be rewarded. We'll knead the dough for 5 minutes at a time, followed by 2-3 minutes of rest, and we'll do this 3 times. Lean a bit over the counter and put your body weight into it while kneading for best results. You can even count it as your workout for the day! Yes, it's a lot, but you're creating a super-chewy texture by doing this! Are you taking notes?
  • While kneading, you'll need to add a bit more flour if the dough gets too sticky.
  • Your dough should now be very elastic in texture and look smooth on the outside. Place in an airtight container in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes.
  • If you have a pasta roller, by all means put it to use here. You can also use a rolling pin to roll the dough out as thin as you can, and cut into strips with a knife. Whichever method you choose, the noodles will puff up a bit when boiling so if you want a thin noodle, you'll have to roll out the dough super thin! Use plenty of flour when you do this - getting the dough stuck to the counter is a pain. Extra flour will wash off during cooking so better to use more than you think you'll need.
  • Boil noodles in salted water for 2-3 minutes to cook.
