Step 2: Combine.
Mix the dry ingredients, make a well in the center, and beat the eggs and water inside. Then slowly combine the ingredients together.
Image Notes 1. This dough is ready. Notice the fairly smooth surface. 2. Clean counter!

Image Notes 1. Your hands should become about this clean after kneading the dough. I did not wash my hands before taking this picture.
Step 4: Rest.
The dough needs to rest before we stretch it, otherwise it will not make nice thin noodles. Put it in a damp cloth and find something to do for at least 30 minutes in the summer, up to 2 hours in the winter.
Image Notes 1. Half of the original dough, because I was doing a double batch.

Image Notes 1. This is about right. See how big it is compared to the original ball.

1. Halfway there.
Image Notes 1. SPRINKLE! If you just dump the noodles in you will get a large mass of noodles that are all stuck together and raw in the middle!

Mar 26, 2011. 1:14 AM REPLY Thanks for this. I lived in Japan for a year, and yes, real ramen is amazing! I was there for work and not necessarily out of love for Japan, but the place grew on me after a while. Now I live in Kosovo, and I am going to try this recipe tonight for dinner. Let us also say ramen should never be eaten with anything but hashi! Many thanks.

Feb 27, 2011. 6:44 PM REPLY I want to ask what the difference between ramen and italian noodles?? I made homemade fettuccine the other day and the ingredients are the same and method is the same too.. but they taste different..
gfogle says:
Feb 23, 2011. 8:39 PM REPLY regarding the color question, it's also possible that the camera and the lighting in the picture could affect the color. i have a terrible time with my camera, personally. we made this recipe tonight and it was fantastic, thank you for the recipe!
lucek says:
Oh I forgot. I skipped the knife in step 4 in favor of a pizza cutter and it worked like a dream.
lucek says:
I tried this. Put the cooked noodles in some chicken stock with a little seasoning salt and some frozen mixed veggies. very tasty.

oddzerozero says:
Apr 30, 2010. 3:30 AM REPLY the color difference might be due to the difference between the kinds of eggs you use. in japan they have fresher higher quality eggs then most people do in the usa. though now a days you can get our hands on free range eggs, it's even better if you can get to a farmer's market and get farm fresh free range. the yolks are a a very bright and rich color, almost orange.
andross says:
Oct 21, 2010. 8:25 AM REPLY Yolk color has little to do with egg freshness. The yolk will actually appear lighter with fresher eggs as the albumen clears with age. The chicken's diet affects color most. If you feed a chicken nothing but white corn, the yolk will be almost white.
sergeant82d says:
Jan 12, 2011. 10:23 AM REPLY I'm sorry, but that's not quite entirely correct. We raise chickens (along with Geese, Ducks, a Turkey, Cows, Pigs and two large gardens... Sheep are next!), and the albumen is the egg *white*... the yolk on our (free range) chickens are much much darker than any commercial egg. And the flavor is vastly better also. As you say, the diet that a hen eats is what affects the yolk color - and taste! - more than anything. What a roaming hen eats is varied and includes grass, weeds, seeds, bugs, and whatever interests them.

What does resting the dough do? How will I know if I haven't waited long enough before continuing?
Larzid says:
Dec 31, 2010. 5:06 PM REPLY when wheat flour gets wet long chains of gluten protein start forming, whish is why doug guets sticky and elastic, as you kneas you begin stressing the long chains of protein and the dough looses its stikiness, but it gains a lot in toughness and springginess, therefore if you try to roll your dough it will shrink back and it will take a long time to get to the desired thickness/shape, if you let your dough rest it will release some of the stress on the protein chains and make the rolling of the dough much easier, the best way to test your dough will be to poke it with your finger, if the hole kind of springs back in a few secons its still stressed, there is no harm in over resting your dough. on a side note, when making bread you want to use rested/relaxed dough, but for noodles the more stressed the dough is, the better texture you get in the final product, it's a good practice to let the dough rest, as you will be adding more stress when you roll your dough, but wastre no time between rolling it, cutting it and cooking it. if you dont let your dough rest nothing bad happens, you'll just have a harder time rolling your dough as it will be springging back on you all the time, but it is posible with a pasta rolling machine or a rally heavy rolling pin.

Ah, makes much more sense. Thanks!
Strout13 says:
Dec 19, 2010. 4:59 PM REPLY If you want to Double the dough...do you literally double all the ingredients...so instead on 3/4 flour you make it 1 1/2 and instead of 1 egg you put 2 eggs or what? Oct 21, 2010. 8:22 AM REPLY I apologize for sounding harsh, but these are not ramen noodles. Ramen noodles are pulled, rolled and cut noodles are udon. Both delicious, but not quite the same.

Sep 20, 2010. 9:27 PM REPLY instant noodles have too much wax and our liver takes 3days for it to digest. so why not go for the healthy one instead of the fatal thing in the long term? I think im going to make one on my own.i like doing things from scratch.l =)

REA says:
might i suggest watching anime while the dough rests? lol
osgeld says:
instant packet cost 16 cents, and is ready to consume in 3 min, so its kind of a bad comparison
elxia says:
where the hell are you gettin ramen 16 cent?you need to hook me with that store
REA says:
when K mart was here, they sold it 10 cents each. we used to buy them by the shipping box full.
superMacaroni says:
I've seen it at wal-mart.
speeddemon92 says:
Jun 10, 2010. 2:38 PM REPLY i don't know where you're from but here in the usa they're 15 -20 cents a pack..... btw neryam, good instructable i think ima go makes some now....
elxia says:
Im from usa ...mabye its because i get mine from post
speeddemon92 says:
when i get mine i either get a 12 pack from walmart for $2 or a 6 pack from dollar general for $1
toaster769 says:
you can get the better versions of the instant packets that would be better to compare at .99 to $1.49. BUT the time is still a huge difference. still though its nice to see how its done from scratch.
lilgamoma says:
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! :)
momopeach12 says:
how is yours so thin?
VesnaVK says:
Jul 22, 2010. 8:43 AM REPLY @momopeach12, I don't know how neryam did it but if you have a pasta roller you can use the fine-noodle cutting attachment. That makes it even and easy. I have a heavy-duty steel hand-cranked one built like a tank. I don't use it often but it's worth the pantry space because it is SO much fun when I do.

Jun 28, 2010. 7:25 PM REPLY Read the ingredients on the 16 cent noodles, & when u get to the part where it says monosodium glutamate-take the time to look it up-its listed #4 on my fave extra spicy korean ramen. Many grateful thanks for this!

xboxmods says:
Apr 28, 2010. 10:32 AM REPLY I just tried making this and it tasted okay. The noodles were a little thicker than I wanted them, but that was my own fault. Also, the noodles had a kind of strong taste, could this be because I forgot to salt the water halfway through?
Bokiniki says:
Your Ramen is delicious.
