Homemade egg noodles are very delicious cooked in anyway, either in soup, fried dry or fried with sauce. Here I have 2 noodle dishes that you can try, one is noodle soup and one is fried noodles.

How To Make Egg Noodles At Home

Homemade egg noodles

I’m not sure how many people don’t like noodles but all those that I know like it very much. It’s like pasta in the West. In Asia, you will find loads and loads of noodles everywhere. They come in different sizes, different types and different colours. If you live there, you probably can’t be bothered to make yourselves. But I did when I was back home in Malaysia. I made my own egg noodles, also called ‘you mian‘ in Malaysia. The main reason is of course homemade egg noodles are clean and without any preservatives added. On top of that you can choose to use high quality ingredients like organic flour, organic or free range eggs, olive oil, sea salt and filtered water.

I’m back from my holiday! Thanks very much for visiting my blog and also for all your lovely comments on my scheduled blog posts while I was away. You have brought me a lot of smiles!

I had a most wonderful time even though it was short considering all the places that I visited and all the things that happened. I was in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Sibu to meet up with relatives, friends and family members. I attended 2 wedding receptions and 2 birthday celebrations. It was wonderful, too, meeting up with old secondary school classmates. All of them are doing very well in their careers.

Salmon And Rice Noodles Fry

Salmon and rice noodles fry

From the many salmon dishes that I had posted, it’s obvious that many people like salmon, whether for it’s health benefits or for it’s flavour and delicacy. Salmon is very versatile and can be cooked in many ways. My family loves salmon and I cook it very often. But there are times when I cook too much and there are leftovers. I am not very good in using leftovers and sometimes they just ended up in the bin. This rice noodle fry with leftover salmon actually turned out delicious. I liked it but my husband thinks it would be more delicious with chicken. I think it’s because he has never heard or eaten fried noodles with salmon!

Making Hand-pulled Noodles

Hand-pulled noodles

Nothing is better than homemade noodles. It is free of preservatives and additives. Apart from the ’somen’ which is white in colour, almost all the rest of the yellow noodles are made with some alkaline water, also called lye water, added to it to give it the more elastic texture. The smell can be quite over powering if too much of this additive is added. My mom always asked us to make our own noodles if we can for health purposes. It is not too difficult to make.
