Crab Soup Noodles

Got myself a new small square mold for my Joyoung N51 Noodlemaker late last year. Didnt get to play with it till now. After making noodles of so many shapes and sizes, i have come to like finer noodles. They cook real fast compared to fatty udon type that takes 2 million years to get done, lol!!!

There's still a lot of crab meat in the freezer. So, whipped up a quick pot of crab soup with dehydrated vegetable mix. Added a few small slices of fresh ginger to the soup to cut down the "cold" nature of the soup. It's so sweet. Makes a perfect bowl of Crab Soup Noodles for lunch :)

I used the Joyoung basic noodle recipe to test my new small square mold. Am delighted with my batch of noodles for today. These days, i will just use half a bag of flour as 500g happens to be the max capacity of my Joyoung N51. Add approximately 170ml water with 10ml vco, a teaspoon or so of sea salt. No exact measurements as i have gotten used to gauging the dough texture by sight. For the rest of you still new to making homemade noodles with the Joyoung Noodlemaker, do follow the Joyoung Noodle Maker Recipes here first, ya. Practice makes perfect. Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

Homemade Butter-Parsley Pasta Recipe

I have some parsley flakes sitting inside a bottle. Gave me an idea for a batch of aromatic pasta for lunch. Malcolm took butter out of the fridge to make sandwich earlier and left it on the kitchen table. It looks so inviting that i decided to use butter instead of oil for my noodles today.

I only have unbleached plain flour left. With the parsley flakes and a teaspoon of clarified butter, my Joyoung Noodle Maker churned out a nice batch of Butter-Parsley flavored pasta. The result is really really good and has that faint herby-buttery scent. Go give it a try:
