Hi all,
I knew I could count on you! I received many replies for making the
GF chow mein noodles and many requests to post the recipe. Here is how: You
can either make fresh pasta and cut into the noodles or boil some dried
pasta, then cut into noodles and then fry. If you don't have B. Hagman's cookbook
you can get it from here: www.bobsredmill.com/recipe/detail.php?rid=385
or see below. This tells at the end how to make the chow mein noodles. THANK
YOU so very much to all who responded. JS in IL
HOMEMADE GF PASTA
1/3 c tapioca flour
1/3 c cornstarch
2 T potato starch
1/2 t sea salt
1 T Xanthan gum
2 large eggs
1 T vegetable oil
Combine flours, salt and gum. Beat eggs lightly and add oil. Pour egg mixture
into flour mixture and stir. This will feel much like pastry dough. Work
together into a firm ball. Knead a minute or two. Place ball of dough on your
bread board and roll as thin as possible. One pasta book suggest you should be
able to see the board through the dough. The dough is tough and although almost
transparent, will still handle well. Slice the noodles into very thin strips
or if using for lasagna, into 1-1/2” x 4” rectangles. The pasta is now ready
to cook or to freeze uncooked for later use. Cook the pasta in salted boiling
water to which 1 T of oil has been added, for 10 to 20 mins depending on the
thickness and the size of your pieces. You will have to test for doneness.
Makes 3 servings as noodles alone, 5 to 6 servings in a mixed casserole.
SPAGHETTI: Use the spaghetti cutter on your pasta machine. Cook for 10 mins
in boiling salted water to which a tablespoon of oil has been added.
CHOW MEIN NOODLES: Make the pasta and cut as if for spaghetti. Then cut these
strips into 1- to 1-1/2” pieces. Drop uncooked into hot oil and cook for a
few seconds (they will probably take less than 1 min). Remove from oil and drain
on paper towels. Then use immediately or freeze. Makes about 5 to 6 cups
chow mein noodles.
