How To Make Chasoba Using A Noodlemaker (Video Guide)

It's another glorious Sunday. A great day to play with the Joyoung Noodlemaker. My 8yo was helping me with the ingredients and he found greentea powder inside the fridge. That gave me an idea to whip up a batch of Chasoba for today. We made Soba recently and everyone love its nutty flavor.

The ingredients for Chasoba remains the same as the ones listed at Homemade Soba Recipe, with the addition of a teaspoon of greentea powder. My little chef will be making it for you this time, cos, well, i need to hold the camera for this video, lol!!! The Joyoung Noodlemaker is his actually, and he is quite an expert at making noodles for an 8 year old kid. He is still a bit shy and did not face the camera much, yet eager to make his very first online appearance. Already a familiar face on my Facebook, and now, he will be on Youtube too :)

In this video, Chef M (Malcolm), will be showing you How To Make Chasoba Using A Noodlemaker with just 5 ingredients. Medium round disc is used for this batch of Homemade Chasoba. Enjoy the video :



This is the second part of the video that shows my left hand placed at the back of the noodles, guiding it down as it is being extruded from the disc:

How To Make Egg Noodles Using A Noodlemaker (Video Guide)

Egg Noodles always remind me of Wantan Meen, a favorite hawker fare of mine since young. With my Joyoung Noodlemaker, it's really really easy to make Egg Noodles whenever i feel like cooking Wantan Meen for my family.

I have made a Video Guide on How To Make Egg Noodles with my Joyoung Noodlemaker. It's in 3 parts for ease of viewing. It will show you the necessary steps and what to expect when you are attempting Egg Noodles with your noodlemaker.

Skill Level: Basic
Disc: Medium round

Homemade Egg Noodle Recipe calls for 400g of plain flour, 1 egg + some water (140ml total), 1/2 tsp sea salt.

1) Crack an egg into the liquid measuring cup and top up with water until it reaches 140ml line. Mix the egg and water thoroughly, but avoid stirring it until it forms bubbles. Set aside.

2) Weigh 400gm plain flour and place into the noodlemaker.

3) Add 1/2 teaspoon sea salt into the flour and close the top cover down properly until you hear the loud "click".

Video 1 shows how i poured the egg mixture into the noodlemaker.



The noodlemaker will knead for a few minutes, then pause, and starts extruding the dough.

Video 2 shows the extruding process. I used the noodlemaker's medium round disc for this batch of Egg Noodles.



The noodlemaker will pause after it has extruded about 50% of the dough. It will then knead the dough a second time (shorter duration just to separate and loosen the dough a little), and continue to extrude until the machine stops.

Video 3 shows this process.



Remember to always flour your hands when handling the extruding noodle strands. Place left hand at the back of the extruding noodles to guide it smoothly down onto the plate (flour the plate too). Sprinkle flour onto the noodle bit by bit as it exits from the disc. Not too much excess flour or you will get cloudy water when you cook the Egg Noodles.

Always give your noodles a cold rinse to stop the cooking process. Agitate it a little to remove excess flour from the strands, drain and place it back into the hot cooking water for a few seconds just to warm it back. Drain off all excess water before placing your cooked noodles into a bowl. This will ensure you get perfect Homemade Egg Noodles with a springy bite each time.
