Ramen noodles

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Scatter the baking powder on a baking tray lined with baking paper, bake for approx. 30 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200°C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool, seal well.

2. Step 2

   Combine the water and 1½ tsp of the baked baking powder. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the water, mix into a crumbly mixture using the dough hook on a food processor for approx. 5 mins. on a low setting. Cover the bowl and leave to rest for approx. 30 mins. Knead for another 5 mins. or so, remove from the bowl and knead for a further 5 mins. or so by hand to create a soft dough. Cover the dough and leave to rest for approx. 30 mins.

3. Step 3

   Divide the dough in half, using the widest roller distance, pass through the roller several times, folding together again each time, cover and leave to rest for approx. 5 mins. Using the pasta maker, roll the dough out more and more thinly (until you reach around the third thinnest roller setting). Roll the sheets of dough through the spaghetti-maker of the pasta maker, or scatter with wheat starch, roll out, and cut into thin strips. Mix the ramen noodles with the wheat starch, leave to dry.
