Wanton Noodle

I just love all sorts of dumpling and sui now plus wanton is definitely my other love. So recently I had this craving for it and I had some high fat content minced in the fridge that I want to use up before it spoils..so I make wanton for dinner.

Noodle is definitely to go with it and I decided to make my own instead of buying from the store since I don't have much stuff plan for the day and I need some extra exercise.

This recipe is definitely a keeper since boss compliment that it tasted just exactly like the noodle from the hawker stall, what more, it was seasoned with pork lard.. hehehe...

Ingredients:

• 240g plain flour
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1 teaspoon of lye/alkaline water
• 2 XL size egg
• 1tbsp water

Steps:

1. Mix the flour and salt evenly in a bowl.
2. Then mix the lye water and egg separately in another smaller bowl.
3. Create a hollow in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture and slowly knead the mixture. For me it is too dry and hence I added another 1tbsp of water. If you need more, please do so, but a little at a time. The dough should be very dry and crumbly.
4. Wrapped it up and set aside to rest for 30mins in room temperature.
5. After resting, you will realise that it is much easier to form the crumbly dough into a smoother dough. Instead of kneading it, I press it down with the rolling pin. Not rolling it, not beating it, but press it down. It is just like how those bamboo noodles are made.. (google for info if you not sure how it is).
6. After pressing it around for 5-6mins, let it rest another 30mins, before repeating step 5. By now, the dough is much smoother, but still very heavy and dry.
7. Rest another 30mins (i left it much longer coz i was out to pick up kids and run some errands). 
8. Divide the dough to 3/4 parts. Roll the dough out as thin as you can. I use the pasta roller. Starting with no 1 and stop at no 7 level.
9. After that is done, roll it over the noodle cutter. If you do not own one, just sprinkle the dough with some flour, then fold up and cut with a big knife or noodle knife.

For cooking, I just boil some water, put in the noodle to cook for bout 2mins, then rinse with cold water.

Served along with pan fried chicken.

Wanton Soup
