    I heard "we need 45 eggs" as she opens that big box of eggs…. LOL. Then I realized she said 4 to 5 eggs…

    Kids think this is fun so I use them like slaves!! So yes it is worth it!!

    Great and timely video! You are so gracious and sweet in how you present your videos. I also have arthritis in my hands and can’t do all the things I used to do like cake decorating and pasta making. But I could handle this way of making lo mein noodles. I wonder if they would freeze longer if stored in a vacuum sealed package? Just wondering.

    This is my noodle recipe! It’s interesting how the same recipe makes noodles for several different cuisines. Mine was the same as my mom and my grandma but they rolled by hand. Something I could never get quite right. Either way they are a family favorite, they just taste so much better than dried pasta. Definitely still a labor of love but so worth it. I use a Mercato atlas to roll and cut. But use my kitchen aid or my food processor to make the dough. My arthritis screams about it so they know when I make noodles for them it’s something special.

    Definitely depends on the individual's situation. As I am back in Asia for the next few years, there isn't much issue getting my hands on good fresh and instant noodles. But should I find myself in Europe again in the future, will definitely come in handy. Bookmarking this. Thanks, Mandy!!

    Have a KitchenAid mixer but only a hand crank pasta machine I can use with your recipes. Yes, it is worth it even though I do not eat a lot of noodles yet. That probably will change though since I will be able to make my own noodles now. We only have one small local grocery store and they never have a selection of noodles other than the few common ones. It is very special when we can make our own. Love your demonstrations because you make everything so clear about what to aim for.

    I really do appreciate the details you offer for example; "gluten tends to connect to each other corn starch doesn't contain any gluten so it will separated the noodles for a long time." It never occurred to me that this was the case.

    wonderful! I do want to try this. I live in a rural area where access to Asian foods is very, very limited. Having this recipe will make noodle-life so much easier.

    I would rather eat the homemade, fresh noodles. It’s important to learn the skills to cook with the most basic ingredients. It’s not only less expensive, in my opinion, it’s more healthy ,satisfying and dependable.

    Thanks so much for all you helpful information.

    $ flour $ eggs $ something else and $$$ the red noodle machine – in general, it's cheap, yes =) maybe I missed in the video that you can make this with rolling pin and knife.

    This is an awesome homemade fresh noodle without any preservative. How should I thaw the noodle after freezing them?
    I hope someday you would show us how to make ramen noodle. Thank you for sharing.

    Too much work for me to make my own from scratch, but I do know the store bought noodles don't taste nearly as good…I guess I'm too lazy, so I settle for second best. Ha!!! Hi from Tampa!! Go Bucs!!!!

    Clarification: flour of your choice can have eggs or not. My daughter is a Vegan so no eggs allowed. And the kneading by hand is a great workout! Fettuccini here I come!

    I always make my own pasta and have the attachments plus the Kitchen Aid attachment with the extruder for those pastas you can’t make by hand. I also have the Pasta Queen hand cranked pasta maker, so I’m all set to go. Yes, it is cheaper and so easy, with or without eggs, regular flour, wheat or 00 flour. I get such gratification making my own pasta because fresh pasta is the best. Little ingredients but big results. Now let’s go make some great sauce to go with it and pig out!!

    Those attachments for the Kitchen Aid mixer are a significant investment, but if you have arthritis and make a lot of noodles and pasta, they sure are nice. If you have friends and relatives who have the stand mixers, consider sharing a variety of attachments.
