HI! I feel super silly asking but am new(er) to cooking from scratch with flour and just the other day realized I was using self rising and all purpose interchangeably (but still adding in the leaveners eeek) When I see a recipe like this egg noodle one I’m excited to try — if it doesn’t list what kind of flour should I assume that it means all purpose?

Yes Deborah always use all purpose in the recipes unless it states otherwise. Don’t worry about the mistake we have all been there done that. That is how we learn. Be sure to holler if you have any questions we love to help.

question, how do you store the noodles? I have been wanting to make them but I am a bit unsure about how to store the noodles that will not be consumed immediately.
To store in the fridge let them air dry for a couple of hours then put in airtight container. They will keep for about 3 days. To keep longer you can air dry them for about an hour and put in a freezer bag or container and store in freezer for up to 8 mons

I always lay the uncut noodle “rounds” out on waxed or parchment paper to dry well before cutting them into strips. This keeps them from sticking together while you cut and when they are added to the pot.

Has Tawra ever tried to make these with gluten-free flour? I am hopeful that if I add enough xanthan gum, they won’t fall apart as soon as they hit the boiling broth. I may attempt it anyway, they look so yummy. Cheers!

No she hasn’t Rae but you could try a half of batch and see what happens.

If I am using these for a crockpot chicken noodle soup…should I boil them on the stove then add to the crockpot right before service or add them to the crockpot for the last 15 min so they won’t get soggy?

Lindsay you can add them to the crock pot at the end of the cooking time if you want but crock pots vary so much that you will just have to experiment with yours – they may take around 10 mins on high to cook just to give you a ball park figure. To be honest I don’t use a crock pot any more for most things because it does make the texture so different than if cooked in a pan so I just put my chicken noodle soup on the stove on the lowest setting and it does even better for me than a crock pot.

Can you just cook the noodles without drying, right after mixing and cutting?
Reply
Jill
Yes you can Mary Jo. They only take about 3 mins to cook though.

Why do my noodles break into pieces
Reply
Jill
Not sure Jackie without seeing them but a couple of things you maybe drying them too long or if they are breaking before you are drying them you maybe need to add a tiny bit more liquid. It is really hard to tell sometimes with out knowing the full story.

Thanks for such a great frugal recipe! I can vouch that these are delicious! My mother taught me to make these. Our recipe is pretty much the same, except without the milk, and they turn out fine, but I may try adding it next time. I usually boil a whole chicken, pull the meat off, and then boil the noodles in my broth, so good.
Egg noodles are generally richer, denser, and more pliable than their water-based siblings, with a subtle but distinct savoriness that helps them stand out in heavier sauces. If you want proof, you only need two eggs to make Simeon's recipe, which is 2,046 less than you need to film a TikTok.
If noodles are made using semolina, they're pasta. So all pasta are noodles, but not all noodles are pasta. And if they contain eggs, they're egg noodles. (Or egg pasta, if they're made from semolina.)
How much do homemade egg noodles cost to make? These homemade egg noodles made with 5 simple ingredients will cost you about 50 cents. This provides 4 servings of egg noodles.
Once the water is boiling, add a small pot or a glass bowl on top and add the noodles, tossed in little oil.Place a lid on top of the pot or bowl to keep the moisture in and allow the noodles to remain in the double boiler until you are ready to serve them.
Scientifically speaking, there's only one valid reason to salt your pasta water: it seasons each noodle evenly from the inside out. In culinary school, chefs-in-training are taught to season their dish a little bit at a time from the first step on; this enhances each ingredient and builds gradual, more complex flavors.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Drop in the egg noodles and stir so they don't stick. Cook until just past al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Egg noodles' nutritional content is similar to that of regular pasta but slightly lower in calories, carbs, and protein ( 1 , 2 ). They're also often enriched, meaning that certain vitamins and minerals have been added, increasing their nutritional value.
Yes, you absolutely can substitute noodles for pasta, and vice versa, in a recipe. While it is up to personal preference, note that egg noodle recipes typically suggest cooking the noodles until they are soft and tender, while pasta recipes recommend cooking the pasta al dente (slightly firm).
So, why put baking powder in noodles, anyway? Egg noodles tend to be a little lighter in texture than regular pasta, and it's baking powder that gives them that boost.
Spices like white pepper, sichuan pepper, or chile flakes to the finished dish, or try adding a cinnamon stick, star anise, and coriander seeds to the simmering broth (remove 'em before serving!)
Dairy milk gives your ramen a milky, creamy character. It takes the heat out of spicy ramen and adds a thick, rich texture. Soy milk, on the other hand, is sweet and nutty. It's not as thick and creamy.
Eggs are a great way to add flavor and protein to your package of ramen. Prepare the noodles with seasoning and as much liquid as you like. Then, decide how you want to prepare the egg. You can boil, poach, or simmer an egg directly in the ramen.
When comparing ramen noodles and egg noodles, egg noodles have a nutritional content similar to regular pasta but are slightly lower in calories, carbs, and protein. One cup (160 grams) of cooked egg noodles contains approximately 221 calories, 40 grams of carbohydrates, and 8 grams of protein.
Rice noodles are often considered one of the healthiest options available. They are naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and easy to digest. P'Nut Asian Kitchen incorporates rice noodles into many of their dishes, including the popular Pad Thai and Wonton Noodle Soup.
