This is Round 79.

This is the organic wheat flour I use from Føtex Supermarket 

In a large bowl, add 400g of wheat flour.

Add 8g of salt (approx. 2 teaspoons) and mix well.

Mix all the dry ingredients (wheat flour, wholewheat flour and salt) together and add them into the pasta maker's chamber.


Crack and mix 3 large eggs (170ml)

Mix well.

Add 1 teaspoon (4ml) of olive oil and mix well.

Start the mixing and slowly pour in the egg mixture (egg and olive oil) and run the machine for 3 cycles of 3 minutes each (you will need to unplug and plug in the machine after each mixing cycle to prevent it from moving to the extrusion stage)

The mixture should look lumpy like the above. but do not be tempted to add more liquid. The mixture may look dry, but do not be tempted to add more liquid. It will be compact and hold its shape when pressed, but it doesn't stick to your hand.

Cover the openings with a plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.

After resting for 20 minutes, run another mixing cycle and extrude straight away using the spaghetti/ramen disc.

Here they come :-)

If you are not consuming them immediately, store them in a plastic container in fridge for 5 days or in freezer for 6 months.

Bring to bowl a pot of water (1 litre for every 100g of noodles), add in noodles and let them cook for 3 minutes.

Start the mixing and slowly pour in the egg mixture (egg and olive oil) and run the machine for 2 cycles of 3 minutes each (you will need to unplug and plug in the machine after each mixing cycle to prevent it from moving to the extrusion stage)

It looked like this after 1 round of mixing.

After resting for 20 minutes, run another mixing cycle and extrude straight away using the udon disc. In the beginning, the noodles might fray a little as they come out, but that's ok, and it won't affect the taste.


Here they come :-)


You can cover it with food plastic wrap to prevent the noodles from drying up.




Place them in a plastic container dust with some corn starch, especially if you wish to store it for a few days.

Bring to bowl a pot of water (1 litre for every 100g of noodles), add in noodles and let them cook for 7 minutes. Drain and serve. 

You can also use a sift when cooking the noodles so that it is easier to retrieve and drain the noodles.

You can eat them on its own with a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil.

You can also add soup and eat them as noodle soup :-)

You can use them for fried noodles. The above is Japanese yakiudon :-)
