GRANDMA'S BUTTER NOODLES



Grandma's Butter Noodles image

This is my late mother-in-laws recipe for noodles -- her favorite for flavor and because they don't spring back when you roll them. At every family gathering she'd make the best Chicken and Noodles, dropping her prepared noodles into homemade chicken broth along with shredded cooked chicken, then serving them over mashed potatoes. I've made them many times and everyone loves them. When making multiple batches, and lacking counter space, I hang the rounds on clean plastic hangers to dry.

Provided by MOMOFADDY

Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter together with a fork. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until dough becomes stiff. Knead on a lightly floured surface or in the bowl for a few minutes to blend completely. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a sheet about 1/16 of an inch thick. Place each sheet onto a dry cloth and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes to partially dry.
  • When the noodle sheets are somewhat dry, roll up one at a time into a loose spiral and cut into strips as wide as you want using a sharp knife. Spread out the noodles to dry for about 1 hour before cooking or storing in freezer containers. To use frozen noodles, thaw in the container before using.
  • To cook the noodles, drop into rapidly boiling water or broth, and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

If you have to add extra flour for a nice baby bum soft dough then do so now. You want a smooth soft, but not sticky to the counter dough. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes. I usually leave on a floured board with the bowl inverted on top.
  • 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.

This is a simple, quick, and healthy lunch recipe, especially during summer time. For vegetarians, switch the chicken strips with lettuce, extra firm tofu or finely chopped green onion, etc. Pour some peanut butter sauce on your choice. It can't go wrong!

Provided by SharonChen

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch thin rice noodles or 2 ounces rice noodles
2 ounces chicken breasts
1/3 cup baby carrots, cut into strips
1/3 cup cucumber, cut into strips
sesame seeds
sriracha sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 ounce fresh ginger, minced

Steps:

  • For the sauce, add peanut butter and milk in a small bowl, press the peanut butter against the bowl by the back of a small spoon. Stir until smooth. Add vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and minced ginger. Stir and set aside. (Add more soy sauce if desire.).
  • In a saucepan, bring a quart water to a boil and add chicken breast to cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken and set aside to cool down. (While cooking the chicken, cut the vegetables. Spend time wisely.).
  • Follow the instructions on noodle package to cook noodles by using the chicken broth in the same saucepan. Normally cook in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked noodles from heat and rinse with cold water, then drain. Toss with 1 tsp sesame oil and set aside.
  • Gently tear the cooled chicken into strips by following the meat grid.
  • Place the noodles, vegetables, and chicken in a bowl or on a serving plate. Pour the peanut butter sauce on top and sprinkle some sesame seeds as topping. If you like spicy, squeeze some Sriracha sauce into it. Your lunch is ready!

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: This means cooking them until they are still slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the noodles plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the noodles in batches if necessary: If you don't have a large enough skillet, you can cook the noodles in batches. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Don't rinse the noodles: Rinsing the noodles will remove the starch, which will make them less creamy.
  • Serve the noodles immediately: Butter noodles are best served hot and fresh. If you need to store them, you can refrigerate them for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Butter noodles are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are quick and easy to make, and they can be dressed up or down depending on your taste. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite sauce, butter noodles are sure to please.
