Drop Egg Noodles Recipes

DROP EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg and flour in a bowl. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into boiling liquid (broth, soup, stew, etc). Let cook for 5 minutes or until the noodles are set. The noodle batter can be prepared in advance and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and butter. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes.
• On a floured surface, roll out to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired lengths and shapes.
• Allow to air dry before cooking.
• To cook fresh pasta, in a large pot with boiling salted water cook until al dente.

RICE NOODLES WITH EGG DROP GRAVY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions, stirring often, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cool, shaking off as much water as you can.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned cast-iron skillet (a nonstick pan will work, too, but you won't necessarily get the same smoky flavor) on medium-high until it is very hot, then add the noodles, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the dark soy sauce, and, toss to coat the noodles using tongs or chopsticks. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, mostly undisturbed, but tossing every minute or so until there is a nice char on some of the noodles. (If your pan is not well-seasoned, the noodles may stick, so toss the noodles after every minute to prevent sticking.) Remove noodles from the pan and set aside. Wipe out the pan.
• Place the vegetable stock, sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Set aside.
• To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil along with the garlic and ginger, and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the carrot, stir-fry for 1 minute just to soften slightly, then add the baby bok choy, stir-fry or oyster sauce, and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and toss. Stir the cornstarch and vegetable stock mixture, then pour it into the skillet, and stir until it comes to a boil and thickens, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Very slowly trickle the beaten eggs into the gravy in a circular motion (no need to stir). Cook the eggs until set, 30 to 60 seconds from when you start pouring. Remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• To serve, place the noodles in serving bowls, and spoon a generous amount of gravy and vegetables over the noodles. Top with cilantro leaves, if using.

EGG DROP RAMEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Pour chicken stock and water into a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Remove about 1 cup of the boiling liquid and stir in the cornstarch until dissolved. Add back into the pot and season with Thai seasoning and white pepper.
• While the liquid is boiling, start stirring it in one direction quickly. When the liquid is moving in one direction, without you stirring it, pour in the eggs.
• Reduce temperature so liquid is simmering and add ramen noodles (discard flavor packets unless you want extra seasoning. In that case, use as much of the flavor package as you like). Cook until noodles are soft and eggs have cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
