Today it seems to all of us that noodles are one of the most primordial Russian dishes, one of the most popular, that dishes with noodles have always existed. Yes, not so. You may be surprised, but the first mention of noodles dates back to the 16th century, and before that, if noodles were known, they could not boast of special popularity and prevalence. According to V. Pokhlebkin, the Russians borrowed noodles from the Tatars, but gave it their own special flavor. And already in the 17th century, noodles became not only one of the most common dishes in everyday Russian cuisine, but, having gained popularity, fell from the table into folklore. What are the mere teasers about the Vladimir townspeople who chop noodles with an ax! We, the descendants, spoiled by the delights of many cuisines of the world, cannot be surprised at all with noodles. But you can easily seduce with noodles, and seat at the table with just the aroma of properly cooked noodles even now. The main thing is that the noodles are homemade, cooked with love and care. Let's try to find out and remember how to cook homemade noodles today.
At first, the most superficial glance, cooking noodles is not fraught with any special secrets. Well, really, is it difficult to mix flour, salt, egg and water, roll out the resulting dough, and cut it into noodles? Even a child can handle it, many will say. And they will be wrong. In the preparation of noodles, every step is important. Correct and accurate selection of verified ingredients, long and thorough kneading of the dough, proper rest of the dough and its rolling, correct cutting and drying. Only knowing all the subtleties of cooking will allow you to fully enjoy truly delicious, strong homemade noodles. Violation of the technology most often leads to obtaining a soft, strangely blurred substance in the soup, which you can’t call noodles or dare to bring to your mouth.
And how many dishes you can cook if you managed to chop the right homemade noodles! Soups are traditionally prepared with noodles, here we are waiting for healing chicken noodles and unusually tasty and fragrant duck noodles, breathtaking noodles with forest mushrooms and sweet milk noodles. But homemade noodles are not suitable for soups alone. Put it in lamb fat, and serve it with tender lamb ribs, boil it in a strong broth, and at the last moment put it on a baking sheet with a roasted pig, put it in a pot, pour it with milk, sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake it in the oven. For a long time you can list dishes that noodles will decorate with themselves, and new taste will give them. And add to the noodles fragrant herbs, and spicy vegetables, and fragrant spices, and you yourself will be surprised at how endless the number of unique flavors that such simple, familiar homemade noodles can please you.
Today, Culinary Eden has carefully collected and recorded for you the most important secrets and tips, as well as several time-tested recipes that will easily tell novice housewives how to cook homemade noodles.
1. Like most other dough products, the noodles are rolled out on a board using a rolling pin. V. Pokhlebkin strongly advised using for these purposes a wooden board 50x75 cm, preferably carved from linden, aspen, birch. But the connoisseur of Russian cooking scolded plastic boards, rightly believing that their elasticity and pliability are incomparable with the corresponding qualities of a wooden board. However, plastic boards are, of course, more hygienic. Any rolling pin is suitable for rolling out noodle dough, although the rolling pin is monolithic, you will surely find it more convenient. On the other hand, the European rolling pin will require you to apply much less effort when rolling out the dough. For cutting noodles, you can use ordinary sharpened table knives, but it is most convenient to use round dough or pizza knives. Such knives are both straight and curly - allowing you to cut the noodles of the original wavy shape. Those who often cook noodles can be advised to purchase special mechanical or electric machines that will allow you to easily roll out thinly and evenly cut the dough into noodles.
2. The choice of flour for making noodles is most often limited only by your imagination. The point is that, unlike Italian pasta or pasta, noodles do not require a certain type of a certain type of flour at all. Superbly tasty noodles can be made from wheat, buckwheat or oat flour. Noodles are especially tasty, in the preparation of which two to three different types flour. The same can be said about the type of flour. Good noodles can be made from first grade flour, and from coarser flour. Noodles turn out great if you add a little flour of the second grade to the flour of the first grade or finely ground semolina in a coffee grinder. But unlike pasta, when preparing noodles, eggs are necessarily used, often completely replacing the entire liquid part of the dough with them. The task of the eggs is to make the dough as strong and dense as possible so that it does not fall apart in the water.
3. Let's try to knead the simplest noodle dough. Take a glass of sifted wheat flour, pile it on a board, make a small indentation on top and pour in one egg. Cold egg, this is important! Then add a couple of tablespoons of ice water and immediately start kneading your dough, trying not to spill the liquid onto the board, but mix it all with flour. Knead the dough for as long and as thoroughly as you can. Even if it seems to you that there is not enough liquid, that there is too much unsoaked flour left, drive these impressions away, and try to keep yourself from wanting to splash extra water. At most, you can add another spoonful of ice water, everything else should be done by the strength of your hands. The stronger and more thoroughly you knead and knead the dough, the smoother, denser and more elastic it will turn out. Ready dough wrap with cling film and leave in a cool place for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the dough will completely rise, ripen, become elastic and soft.
4. Is your dough ready? Now you have to roll it out and cut noodles out of it. Sprinkle the board with flour, put a dough ball on it, flatten it a little with your hands, sprinkle with flour and start rolling it out using a rolling pin rubbed with flour. First roll out gently from the center to the edges, trying to give your dough a rounded shape, then roll it out, leaning as hard as possible on the rolling pin, trying to roll out the dough as thinly as possible. When the thickness of the dough sheet reaches a couple of millimeters, again begin to be especially careful, trying not to tear the thin dough sheet. The thinner you can roll out the dough, the better. Remember that even two-millimeter noodles will swell when boiled and turn into a poorly cooked sticky four-millimeter piece of dough.
5. Rolled out? Subtle enough? So almost everything is ready! It remains only to cut our noodles. If you are using round or special shaped knives, then just start cutting the noodles to the thickness you need for your goal. If you want to cut traditional Russian noodles, then first let the dough sheet lie down for 10 - 15 minutes and dry slightly. Then gently dust the sheet with a thin, even layer of flour. Carefully roll the test sheet prepared in this way into a tube, gently flatten it, and then cut it across and slightly obliquely into thin, elegant rings no more than two to three millimeters thick with a very sharp knife. Unfold the finished noodle rings and scatter relatively loosely on a tablecloth or woven towel and let them dry slightly, sometimes gently stirring them. Now your noodles are perfectly ready to be used in any dish you like.
6. Noodles from other types of flour are prepared in exactly the same way. Let's try to cook the most delicious and popular Russian noodles from wheat and buckwheat flour. Mix and sift together through a sieve one cup of wheat flour and a quarter cup of buckwheat flour. Leave another quarter cup of wheat flour for sprinkling. Pour flour into a slide on the board, make a well in the center of the flour slide and pour one a raw egg and three eggshells of ice water. Knead a tight dough, wrap in a towel and let rest for 15 minutes. Roll out the finished dough into a layer no more than one millimeter thick and cut thinly.
7. Rolling and chopping noodles is only half the battle. Now we need to cook this noodles deliciously. Let's start with traditional Russian chicken noodles, which is quite rightly attributed even medicinal properties. Cook a strong broth from two liters of water and 700 gr. Chicken. Remove the chicken and strain the broth, return to the pot and bring to a boil. Add one finely chopped onion, two bay leaves, two to three saffron stamens, salt and black pepper to taste. In a boiling broth, pour the pre-prepared wheat noodles and cook until tender for five minutes. At the end of cooking, add two tablespoons of parsley, one tablespoon of dill and two minced garlic cloves. Remove from heat and serve immediately. boiled chicken submit separately.
8. More fragrant and tastier than noodles duck is difficult to find, such noodles will easily decorate even festive table. Prepare noodles in advance from one and a half cups of wheat and half a cup of buckwheat flour. Thoroughly rinse and scrape one duck, weighing about two kilograms. With a sharp knife, remove the subcutaneous fat near the neck and tail. Pin up duck skin with a fork in several places, put the duck on a roasting rack and place in an oven preheated to 200⁰. Don't forget to place a baking sheet under the duck! Roast for 30 minutes until the duck is browned and most of the fat has been rendered out. Divide the finished duck into 10 parts, place in a saucepan, add one whole carrot, one onion, one parsley root. Fill everything with 1 ½ liters hot water, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 1 ½ hours, regularly skimming excess fat from the surface. Boil the noodles until cooked separately and discard in a colander. When the duck is ready, remove the vegetables, take out the pieces of duck, and strain the broth. When serving, put in each plate a serving of noodles, a piece of duck and pour boiling broth over everything. Serve chopped dill or parsley on plates separately.
9. Fragrant mushroom noodles made from dried porcini mushrooms will remind you of a cold winter sometimes about a warm mushroom summer. One cup of dried porcini mushrooms, pour 1 ½ liters cold water and leave for two hours. Remove the mushrooms and rinse from sand and litter, and strain the infusion through cheesecloth. Chop one white part of a leek, one onion, one parsley root and one celery root into large pieces. Pour mushroom infusion into a saucepan, add vegetables and mushrooms, bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes over low heat under a lid. Remove the cooked vegetables, remove the mushrooms and cut into thin strips. Boil the noodles separately until cooked in the amount you want. Combine in a saucepan mushroom broth, chopped mushrooms and boiled noodles. Bring everything together to a boil, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat. Before serving, add a piece of butter to the noodles and sprinkle with chopped dill.
10. For a real delicacy has always been revered in Russian at home noodle loaf, noodles. And it's not that hard to make it. Make thin noodles with two cups of wheat flour. Bring one liter of milk to a boil, add the noodles and cook until tender for 4-5 minutes, then drain in a colander and cool slightly.
