Homemade Chinese (Ramen) Noodles

By -
These are really simple and good! It's really nice to be able to make your own Ramen rather then eating the store bought that has about as much salt as the Red Sea. So here it is!


Ingredients:
3/4 c. Flour
1 Egg
3/4 tsp. Salt
1 T. Water

Just place the flour and salt in a bowl and make a well. Place the egg in the well lightly mix while you add the water. If it's too sticky add more flour, and add more water if it's too dry.
Knead until it is firm and you can pick it up and drop it without it sticking to your hand at all.
Then just roll it out on a floured surface as thin as you can make it. It's very easy to work with and doesn't tear when you pick it up!
then to make the actual noodle, put flour on top of the dough and fold it in half, then put more flour on and fold it in half again (all in the same direction). Don't worry about there being too much flour, it will come off when you boil it.
Once you have your rectangular shaped dough, take a knife, those wide rectangular knives work great, and cut your strips as thin as you can...you know, Ramen size.
Then just sprinkle (don't drop them in at once or they stick together) them into boiling water for a couple of minutes! Of course you add them to broth and vegetables, etc, or you can stir fry them. Whatever your heart desires!
Bon Appetite!

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
