How to make noodles

Noodles have a very long history in my country, and they are also very convenient to eat. They can be used not only as a staple food, but also as fast food. The main ingredients of noodles are flour from grains or beans. Now they are sold in many supermarkets, and some are even beautifully packaged. However, for people who have high dietary requirements, they often like to make them by themselves. So how do you make noodles with flour?

First, how to knead the flour to make noodles ? Scoop out the flour and use a small bowl to scoop the flour. If there are two adult men, three small bowls are enough. Put the flour into the container. It is recommended to choose a stainless steel basin, which is light, can hold the strength, and is easy to clean if it is stained with flour. Note for beginners: If your goal is to get three small bowls of flour, then when scooping the flour in this step, it is best to only scoop out two small bowls. The reason will become clear later.

Second, add water . This step is critical: scoop out a small bowl of water and add it to the flour little by little, along the edge of the stainless steel basin. "A little bit" means that the size of the water flow is similar to half the flow rate of an ordinary pure water bottle, allowing the water to flow out slowly and evenly. While adding water, keep kneading the flour with your hands. The smaller the unit, the better. How to understand this - use the tips of your three middle fingers to knead the dough. The less you knead each time, the more uniform the dough will be later. If you knead it well, it will come out in a floc-like state.

Third, knead the flour into flocs. Now, the flour has become flocs. The next step is to merge these small flocs into large flocs. Finally, merge all the large flocs into an initial dough. During the whole process, water needs to be added. The amount of water you add depends on your feel. It should not be too dry or too wet. If it is too dry, you can't knead it. If it is too wet, you need to add more flour to prevent it from sticking to your hands. Note for beginners: When you are a beginner, it is best to scoop less flour at the beginning, because in the subsequent process of adding water, it is likely that you will need to add more flour because it is too wet.

How to knead dough to make noodles? Tips for making the dough smoother and more delicious: If you want a smoother dough: before adding water in the first step, beat an egg into the dry flour, stir the egg and flour with chopsticks, then add water and knead them into dough; for those who like to eat dry noodles, you can directly add salt water when kneading the dough: add granular salt to the water used for kneading the dough, that is, salt water, and use salt water to knead the dough.
