How To Make Black Sesame Noodles Using A Noodlemaker (Pictorial Guide)

Making sesame noodles is so easy these days. Last time, i used to see my mom toast sesame seeds, let them cool and then grind them into coarse powder whenever she wants makes anything with it. Now, i just pop over to the organic shop and buy a can of ground sesame powder, lol. I know it's not the same, but that is alright with me. I really do not have the time nor patience to prepare every single ingredient by hand prior to making my noodles.

This morning, my kid dug out the can of sesame powder that i have placed into a plastic bag when we were packing our things early this month. I thought i have lost it for good and kept reminding myself i need to go buy a new can. Not much left in it, maybe for a few more rounds of noodles. Good enough for today :)

Let's get down to work on How To Make Black Sesame Noodles with Joyoung Noodlemaker.

Skill level: Basic
Disc used: Medium round

First, we need 400g of plain flour.

Next, we need 140ml water, a heaping soup spoonful of ground black sesame powder, and a teaspoon of sea salt.

Place flour, black sesame powder and sea salt into the noodlemaker.

Lock the lid in its place until you hear the "click"

Select "Auto" to start the Joyoung Noodlemaker.

Pour the water in through the opening at the top of the cover in slowly as the noodlemaker kneads the flour.

The Joyoung Noodlemaker will knead the flour for 3 minutes, pauses, and start extruding the black sesame noodles.

It will extrude, pause, knead, one or twice more till most of the dough has been extruded. Remember to flour the noodles lightly as they are being extruded from the disc to prevent them from sticking together.
