What To Do With The Extra Dough Left In The Noodlemaker?

With each batch of noodles that i make, for sure there will be some extra dough left behind inside the noodlemaker. I hate seeing food material go to waste and will try my best to remove as much as possible from the container. This is especially true when i'm making noodles like soba as the organic buckwheat flour that i use is expensive compared to just plain flour.

Last week, i made a batch of chasoba with my Joyoung Noodlemaker. So, what to do with the extra dough left in the noodlemaker? It's easy. Just roll them all up into a ball. If it is too dry, use a few drops of water to soften it.

Next, use a pair of clean kitchen scissors and snip the dough into uniform pieces. it's entirely up to you to snip it short or long. Just make sure the thickness is the same throughout. This is important as thicker dough requires an extra minute or two to cook and that might affect the thinner strips' cooked outcome.

I got this much with my extra chasoba dough, enough for one dish. Wonderful when cooked, chilled, and added to salad. Also makes a great stir-fry dish with some meat and vege. Try it :)
