Homemade Ramen Noodles

It’s actually so simple to make your own ramen noodles! This is based off a Japanese style of ramen and utilises a bit of science to change the pH of your dough to create the beautiful curves, stretch and spring that every ramen needs.

What you will need to make noodles for 3-4 people

Ingredients

240g white flour high grade

1 Tbsp premium Thea Matcha

3g salt

100g warm water - more or less depending on how your dough feels

1.5g sodium bicarbonate baked baking soda (irritable be careful with contact on skin)

Gadgets

Pasta machine - we used Stevens this time (or roll out to desired thickness and cut accordingly, do this in two lots so you can

Make your Ramen!

1. Weigh out all your ingredients. Mix the flour and matcha in a separate bowl and the rest once weighed out can be mixed together.

2. Set up your pasta machine

3. Mix thoroughly, get your hands in there eventually. Make sure it is completely combined and becomes a smooth dough, knead for a few minutes.

If there's still some dry bits at the bottom add about 1/2 a tSp of water or just wet your hands lightly and knead together, mine was a bit wet but I used plenty of flour in between rolls of the pasta machine.

4. Pasta Machine - Shape your ramen dough into an oblong/length of your pasta machine roller. I used the sequence 1 twice, 2, 4, 6, then 7. Roll through your spaghetti attachment and Matcha ramen awaits!!!

5. Over a rolling boil, cook the ramen until al dente. Mine took only 1 1/2 minutes, quickly drain and drop them into a bowl of cold water and leave there until you are ready to serve!
