Step 6

Place the dough strips on wax paper. Allow the dough to dry at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Add noodles to the chicken broth and bring it to a boil for 5 minutes.

Tip

Extra noodles can be frozen following the drying process. Simply place them in single layers between sheets of wax paper. Freeze in a freezer bag or air tight container.

Warning

Homemade noodles are not dried like the packaged type and quickly become mushy. Avoid letting them boil or soak too long in the broth.
