Homemade Chinese Egg Noodles

My family enjoy this type of Chinese Egg Noodles. They are thin, chewy, and springy without any addictive added. Only wheat flour, sea salt, duck eggs, and a bit of water. There's no kneading involved and all you need is a rolling pin to beat the dough until it's smooth and elastic. It's amazingly easy and what a difference it makes in taste. These egg noodles are great for making wonton noodles, simple ginger and scallions noodles, or top with of your favorite sauce.

Yup!

Truly working physically reduce depression, take the frustration out one will have the satisfaction of something having done. This actually replace the need of gym, once in a while. Thus tones up the Arms too. Good for taste n health. Angry young people can do this instead of looking for bad indulgences

I've tried using half of the recipe and it was successful. So nice & delicious, i didn't beat the dough but i knead the dough with my hands. It turns out good & yummy, this recipe is a keeper, thank you...

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback :-)

[@vineticular1586]

This is a late question and i know this comment is really old but can i ask how you knead the dough?

[@ladybucket9798]

@@vineticular1586 ...with your hands. jokes aside just knead the dough for about 5-10minutes with your hands, no fancy machines needed and it will change texture. might take less than 5-10min though, depends. and if you wanna know *how* to knead it...well...different people, different methods. i usually make "kitty kneading moves", if you know what i mean, and rotate the dough after every knead.

Hi! Thank you for sharing the recipe! If i use the a mixer with the bread dough hook to make the dough, do i still need to beat it?

[@Seasaltwithfood]

No, you don't have to beat it anymore...slightly diff text though, not as "Q". Thanks

[@tpowell453]

My grandma used to make noodles without a knife. She strung the dough out and bounced it, and then doubled it over repeatedly until she had a hand full of noodles. She would then clip the ends off with scissors and lay the noodles out on a clean linen sheet to dry for later. Like magic.

[@Seasaltwithfood]

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing your great memories regards your grandma. I think those are La Mian noodles. It required lot skills to make it. Thanks again :-)

[@bestestinventions7032]

i was experimenting with making noodles and found out that you can just mix the dough (a dry dough is best), then immediately roll and cut it. no need for kneading and resting. i can make noodles in 5 minutes like that. it will seem a bit less smooth but in the end it's still good noodles and it saves so much time.

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Thanks for the tips.

[@YS6780]

The beating and resting (esp. for a dry dough) is crucial. The purpose of beating is to well mix the ingredient. The purpose of resting is to let a more equal water content dispersion among the flour particles especially the dry dough. During resting time water from the wet particles will flow towards adjacent drier particles. You will find the dough is softer after the resting time, because water content within the dough is more equally dispersed .

[@jgam6432]

I didn't have eggs so I subbed buttermilk and added some sugar along with salt, no tart flavor and it was nice and chewy! still I'd love to try the recipe with eggs

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Thanks for the feedback. It's interesting making noodles with buttermilk and sugar...at least it turned out well for you :-)

[@localvibe8077]

How i can make round shape of noodle?

[@rebeccafoo]

Thank you for sharing. It will be 竹升面 by the way you beat the dough. Very interesting as we can make it at home. But I will not cut into small pieces then cut them into noodle, cut straight from the rolled and fold dough, so will not have so much wastage -- not even size noodle. I already made the dough, now let it rest. Thanks again. Happy Cooking

[@Seasaltwithfood]

Yes, the noodles has a chewy texture and taste great too. In the video I have to cut it smaller because I'm not using "wide lenses" camera, can't capture all. Yes, go ahead and cut it straight away after rolling. So, how did it turn out? Hope you can share the picture. Thanks.

[@rebeccafoo]

Thanks , it turned out great, like you said, chewy texture and tasted great. I wish I can share the photo with you but there is no space for the photo that I can add in, oh yes, is better to sprinkle tapioca flour and not flour.

ro ben You can use a machine for kneading the dough, but I'm not sure the texture will be the same. Fresh noodles cook rather quickly and it depends on the thickness too. I guess 2 to 3 minutes should be okay.

[@spongebobby188]
