Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (4.5 g)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (30 ml)
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups all-purpose flour (180 to 240 g)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Knife or pizza cutter
  • Flour sifter
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the two large eggs, salt, and milk. Whisk them together until well blended.
  2. Start adding the all-purpose flour gradually. Begin with 1 1/2 cups and mix until a dough starts to form. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add a little milk or water.
  4. Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. After resting, divide the dough into two parts. On a floured surface, roll out one piece of dough to your desired thickness, typically around 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into strips of your preferred width.
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your freshly cut noodles and cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until al dente.
  8. Once cooked, drain the noodles and serve them with your favorite sauce or in a stir-fry.

Notes

  • Store cooked noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze uncooked noodles by spreading them on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag.
  • Experiment with different flours for unique flavors and textures.
