FAQ
Spaghettis won't turn soggy or sticky too easily, and they can hold the sauce on its surface very well. Therefore spaghetti is a perfect substitution of chow mein to make Chinese style stir fry noodles.
Here's a little trick that feels like an edible science experiment, but the result is pretty good! If you don't have a package of ramen on-hand, “ramenize” your spaghetti by adding baking soda to a pot of water. It adds alkali, which is what gives ramen its chewy, bouncy texture and yellowish hue.
Quick cooking instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and eggs in a bowl.
- Knead the dough thoroughly.
- Cut the dough into small same-sized pieces and thin it out (always flour your working surface).
- Roll thinned-out pasta dough and cut into same sized pieces.
- Roll it with your hands and apply some pressure on the pasta.
Once you've rolled out your dough, you will want to dry it before cutting it into noodles or shapes. This ensures that the dough is firm enough to be properly cut. Timing is key when drying fresh pasta. If you're too impatient, you might end up grappling with some sticky dough.
