Homemade egg noodles with a tender, chewy texture, perfect for soups or stir-fries. Simple ingredients come together quickly for a versatile, comforting dish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the eggs and flour until a stiff dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 3 minutes.
- If the dough is too soft, add more flour until stiff.
- Roll the dough very thin on a floured board, ensuring it does not stick.
- Let the rolled-out dough stand for 8 to 10 minutes to dry.
- Turn the dough and let it stand for another 8 to 10 minutes.
- Roll up the dough loosely like a jelly roll and cut into 1/8-inch wide strips.
- Unwind the strips and let them stand until dry.
- Use immediately or freeze the unused noodles for later.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a high-protein flour to ensure the noodles hold their shape when cooked. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour. Make sure to flour your surface well while rolling out the dough to prevent sticking. If you find the dough too sticky during kneading, don't hesitate to add a little extra flour gradually.
Serving Suggestions
Homemade egg noodles pair beautifully with rich sauces, such as a creamy mushroom sauce or a hearty Bolognese. They can also be served in soups or alongside a fresh salad. For a complete meal, consider serving with a light dressing like Lo-Cal Buttermilk Dressing, or a side of sautéed vegetables for added nutrition.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover noodles, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag. To reheat, simply drop frozen noodles directly into boiling water for 2-3 minutes until cooked through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to use, let it come to room temperature before rolling it out. This helps in achieving the right consistency for cutting and cooking.
