easy noodles recipe

A simple guide on how to make homemade noodles with just a few simple ingredients - just like my grandma makes them.

How to make homemade noodles

flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour and salt. Use a fork to combine.

Add the eggs and milk to the bowl. Use your fork to stir and combine well.

When the dough starts to come together, turn it out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly to form a smooth dough.

Let the dough rest on the counter for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 4 or 6 parts and roll with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch thick.

Use a sharp knife or a pizza wheel to cut the thin dough into noodles, making them the size you prefer. Instead of rolling by hand, you can use a pasta roller to roll and cut your dough (my grandma made so many homemade noodles that she got a pasta roller at some point and used it for years).

You can cook the noodles right away (for about 3 minutes in hot boiling water or broth if making soup) or you can let them dry overnight and then bag and store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I use the same recipe to make totelin and ravioli?

Haven’t made homemade pasta since we first moved to Utah 12 years ago! We had such a hard time I’d basically given up. These noodles were SUPER easy, though, and Melissa’s tips about the possible textures made it easy to troubleshoot and adjust. Came out perfectly delicious with no struggle! Will definitely made again and soon!

Oh my, these were great! I had never made homemade noodles before, but these came together so easily and were fun to make!

Oh, my! This brought back sooo many wonderful memories of watching Grandma cooking--especially her homemade noodles! Sounds exactly like her recipe. Can't wait to make them...thanks for sharing!

In a heat-proof bowl, add crushed chilli flakes, minced garlic, and sesame seeds. In a small pot, heat neutral-flavour oil until smoking hot. Turn off the heat once the smoke starts to appear. Gently pour hot oil over the chilli garlic bowl and let it sizzle for a few seconds. Stir it well and set it aside. ( If you are using store-bought chilli oil, you can skip this step. )

Fill the pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add noodles and cook the ramen noodles for 3-4 minutes or until al dante. ( Cooking time can be varied depending on the types of noodles you use. ) 

While the noodles are cooking, you can prepare the peanut sauce. In a ramen bowl or large serving bowl, add the prepared chilli oil, peanut butter, regular soy sauce, dark soy, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Scoop a couple of tablespoons of boiling noodle water and pour it into the sauce. Mix everything well until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. 

Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water out and place it in the peanut sauce. Coat the noodles well with the sauce. ( Add more hot water if the sauce is too thick and sticky. ) Divide the noodles into each serving bowl. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and chopped spring onions.

serving

Divide noodles among plates, top with a soft-boiled egg, sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Add more sambal if you can handle the heat, enjoy!

Kinda too salty and we used low sodium soy sauce. Would probably add more ginger next time as well. But everyone ate it! And the eggs were spot on!!

This came out really good! I used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce as I wanted my dish to be gluten and soy free. I also used gluten free udon noodles. It tastes great and I have some left over for lunch during the week. Thanks for the recipe!

The exceeded my expectations. My family loved it! Followed recipe mostly….swapped coconut aminos for soy sauce and left out the spicy stuff for the kids. Hubby and I added sriracha and it was flavorful, delicious, filling and a repeat recipe, for sure. Thank you!!!

This is legit the first time I ever comment on a recipe and I'm only doing it cause the first review it's very unfair. The recipe is fantastic! unfortunately I cannot find Sichuan peppercorns here, but I add some kechap manis sauce and any veggies I have (round green beans pair very nicely ) and I usually fry the egg.
I jut think that the recipe is a good base and then you go on and make adjustments according to your taste and available ingredients. Keep up the good work!

This recipe was wonderful! We replaced oyster sauce with fish sauce because we didn't have oyster sauce and it worked really well! I'm really happy with the flavor - spicy enough to make your nose run a little (but you can of course make it less spicy if you want) - but not spicy enough to not taste the flavor. Great recipe!

Loved this!! Very flavorful and delicious recipe. I made this exactly as the recipe says and it was great. Not too salty in my opinion (as a previous reviewer said) I think it's helpful to make sure you're using dark soy sauce and not light soy sauce because light soy sauce tastes saltier (if you are using light soy sauce I'd probably half the amount). I will be stretching the leftovers out with some bok choy for lunch!

This was outstanding! Threw in some thinly sliced steak, and didn’t have any Sichuan peppercorns handy, but otherwise made it exactly as directed. Super flavorful sauce, especially with a little extra sambal (the fam likes it spicy). Definitely will be making again- often!

I've been looking for that take-out flavor and texture in a recipe that is easy, but doesn't skip what makes it good. This is that recipe. Given, I did use a different noodle (soba) that wasn't the best choice, but everything else was in place perfectly. The sauce was a little thicker, slightly spicy and had amazing flavor. Loved that I can make this meatless with the mushrooms and even added some green beans I needed to use. I love the versatility to it and appreciate the solid foundation that gives everything you need to build on. Will be making this over and over again and so thankful I found this recipe!
