Description

These Fried Chow Mein Noodles are the DIY version of the dried noodles you might get from the store or your takeout. You know the ones… the ones that come in a can or bag and that you can snack on right there.

  • 156 grams Bread Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

  8. Sprinkle flour onto rolling mat and use rolling pin to roll out dough to 1mm to 2 mm thick. BE PATIENT
