Homemade Fresh Ramen Noodles


Making these springy ramen noodles again with my Marcato and it is getting better each time. Trying out another experiment 😁. This time I will prepare the dough in advance and keep it overnight in the fridge. I just wanna know if the texture remains as good as freshly made or even better.... This is another stayhome project for me. 

Fresh Ramen Noodles

Ingredient

2.5 cups AP flour

1/2 tsp salt

3 egg whites

1 tbsp oil

3. 5 tbsp water 

Combine all the ingredients together and mix into a crusty ball using a food processor. Take out and knead for 6 mins. Rest the dough for 30 mins. Knead and fold, repeat again for another 10 mins. Put dough into a plastic bag and rest the dough for 2 hrs. 

Cut dough into 4 portions and using the Marcato pasta maker, set the adjustment knob to 0 and pass the pasta sheet through just once; then, set the adjustment knob to 1 and pass the pasta sheet through once more; then, set the adjustment knob to 2, and so on until you reach the desired thickness (the recommended thickness setting is no. 5 for Ramen (no 6 for fettuccine and no. 7 for tagliolini).
Dust with potato starch so that the ramen noodles doesn't stick together.  You can cook the noodles straight away or store in air tight container in fridge for two days. 

                           Enjoy!

Mini Pork Sausage Bun

Back to baking buns again.  Saw this recipe on Sonia's blog and I knew I had to bake it for hubby. He loves sausage buns.  It has been a while since I baked for him sausage buns.  Managed to get mini pork sausages from LSN pork shop.  The recipe is so good. Easy to make and the texture is super soft and fluffy.  I love making these little buns.  Great for afternoon tea snacks or supper.  I baked a load of twenties.  We ate some for afternoon tea and kept the rest in air tight tupper and leave in fridge till needed.  For next day consumption,  we took the buns out of the tupper from the fridge, and zapped them in microwave oven for just 30 secs and they were just as good as freshly baked ones.  So convenient to have a microwave in the kitchen :)

You can hop over to Sonia's blog...she has lots of wonderful recipes waiting for us to try out.  I have actually KIV some of her recipes ...this is one recipe that I have tried out and it is a keeper for sure.

3g instant yeast (1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp)
1/8 tsp salt
25g butter, room temperature

Mini cocktail pork sausages, defrost and pat dry,

Add in butter, continue to knead till elastic and smooth dough. Keep aside to rise till double in size.
Divide the dough into 20g each and roll into small balls, rest for 10 mins.
Take a small dough, use a rolling pin to flatten it, then close two ends to make it look like a cigarette, then keep aside to rest for 10 mins.  Take a dough, use hand to roll out into a  cone shape ( like making crossaint ) Use a rolling pin , roll it flat.  Place a sausage at the bigger end, and start to roll like a swiss roll towards the end.  
Place sausage rolls on a lined baking sheet.  Repeat the rest till finished. Leave it to proof for another 30-45 mins.
Apply egg wash , then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.  Bake at a pre-heated oven 170C ( fan forced) for 15-20 mins or 180C (no fan ) for 15-20 mins.

Enjoy!
