INGREDIENTS
120g nerigoma (hulled white sesame paste)
70g water
20g miso

🍜 La Mian- Fresh Wheat Noodles
These fresh noodles are chewy and have a nice smooth texture thanks to one magic ingredient: alkaline water. The alkaline water adds some slipperiness and also helps give the noodles a slightly yellow colour. Use a pasta roller to roll these out, that’ll save you lots of time.
INGREDIENTS
120g plain flour
40g water
1 tsp kansui (alkaline water)
15g (1 tbsp) ⅓ beaten egg
METHOD
Combine all of the liquid ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour the mixture in.
Using a finger, slowly begin to incorporate the liquid mixture into the flour until it forms a single mass.
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth.
Let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes, wrapped so it doesn’t dry out.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is about 2-3mm in thickness. Sliced the dough to the thickness of your desire using a very sharp knife. Dust with a little flour so the noodles don’t stick together.
