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.
