Cookbook:Noodle

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients

Noodles are a type of dough product shaped into strips or strings.^[1] Some use the term "noodle" to refer to pasta, although they are not technically interchangeable terms.

ProductionEdit

ShapingEdit

Noodles can be shaped in a variety of ways. One method involves rolling the dough into sheets and cutting it into strips to form noodles. Another variety of cut noodles involves using a very sharp blade to slice thin noodles off a large piece of dough. Pulled noodles are made by folding and pulling the dough to make thin strands. Extruded noodles are formed by forcing the dough through small holes to make long strands.

DryingEdit

Some noodles are made shelf stable by drying to remove the moisture content. This can be done by simple air-drying or by placing in a dehydrator setup.
