How to make your own homemade ramen noodles

To make 10.5 oz. of noodles, here’s what you’ll need:

• 9 oz. bread flour
• A pinch of salt
• 3 fl. oz. water

Because these fresh ramen noodles taste so good, you can enjoy them as a full dish in their own right – this is sufficient as a main meal for one or two people. Alternatively, you can enjoy this ramen recipe as a delicious side dish for three to four people.

1. Simply open the lid of your pasta maker and add the flour and salt before slowly pouring in the water. If you’re making your ramen by hand, you can feel if the consistency is too wet or too dry. 
2. Once you’ve kneaded your dough and allowed it to rest, roll it out extra thin and cut it into noodle ribbons.
