Note: you will need to decide if you would like Beef and Noodles or Chicken and Noodles.
-
2
My favorite is beef.
-
3
To cook the beef, place the roast in a crock pot and pour in the beef broth, enough water to cover the roast, the onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
-
4
Cook until tender.
-
5
For chicken, use a whole chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, all to taste.
-
6
You will need to debone and throw away the skin.
-
7
Meanwhile:
-
8
Mix the flour and salt into a bowl.
-
9
Make a well.
-
10
Beat the eggs and water.
-
11
Place into the well.
-
12
Now, the best way to make this is to use your hands.
-
13
Start mixing the wet and dry ingredients together with your hands.
-
14
Its going to be stickyif you have added too much flour, then you need more eggs.
-
15
After you have mixed the dough together, place onto a floured surface.
-
16
Use plenty of flour on your surface.
-
17
Begin to roll out the noodles, making sure you lift up and place flour underneath the dough.
-
18
Roll out to 1/4 thickness.
-
19
Cutting the noodles:
-
20
After it is completley rolled out, I use a pizza cutter to cut the noodles (Pampered Chef has a great one).
-
21
Note: you can purchase noodle cutters, either machine or by hand.
-
22
Remember this is a labor of love, and machines will rip this doughits very tender.
-
23
A knife or pizza cutter works best.
-
24
Cut into 3 sections horizontally, and then begin cutting vertically.
-
25
The width of the strips are up to you.
-
26
I make mine about 1/4 wide.
-
27
The noodles will expand.
-
28
After your beef or chicken is cooked, place the broth plus about 3 cups of water into a large pot.
-
29
Check for taste, it may need salt and pepper.
-
30
Make sure the broth is at a slow rolling boil.
-
31
Use a thin spatula to begin to pull the noodles apart from the rolling surface.
-
32
It may be sticky, and if so, use some flour.
-
33
Drop the noodles in one at a time.
-
34
They will begin to cook.
-
35
After all the noodles are in the pot, if you need to add more water or canned broth, do so.
-
36
The flour from the noodles will thicken the broth.
-
37
No thickener is needed.
-
38
How long to cook the noodles?
-
39
Cook them on low on the stove for about 2 hours.
-
40
They can be placed into a crock pot for transport.
-
41
Cook until tender.
-
42
Place meat on top or serve on the side with mashed potatoes.
