Homemade Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 Egg
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (Approximately, or as needed for a stiff dough)
• 6 cups Salted water (For cooking the noodles)

Instructions

1. 1In a bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a very stiff dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of flour depending on the size of the egg.
2. 2Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball, cover with a clean towel, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. 3Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of the dough out as thinly as possible, aiming for a thickness similar to paper. You can cut in fancy shapes, using a sharp knife or vegetable cutter. Alternatively, roll the thin sheet like a jelly roll, cut into thin slices, and unroll the pieces to create noodle strands.
4. 4Lay the cut noodles out on a clean surface or drying rack to dry for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours. This helps them maintain their shape when cooked.
5. 5Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dried noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain the noodles well.
6. 6Serve the noodles in soup or as a side dish with your favorite sauce or vegetables.
