Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful noodle, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs or spices to the dough, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning. If you don't have chicken-flavored base, vegetable broth or bouillon can work as a substitute. Be sure to roll the dough as thin as possible for even cooking and a better texture in your dishes like Fried Rice(Good Party Dish).
