Ingredients

4 servings

3 large eggs 2 large egg yolks ¼ cup water 1 teaspoon sea salt 3 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed 2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth, or as needed

Dish of cabbage and eggs

Instructions

Step 1

Start by whisking together the eggs, egg yolks, water, and salt in a bowl until everything is well combined. Stir in 2 cups of flour with a mixer, then switch to a wooden spoon to mix in another cup of flour. Keep adding flour little by little until the dough gets thick enough that it’s tough to stir. Divide the dough into four equal balls.

Step 2

Sprinkle a good amount of flour on a pastry cloth, a rolling pin, and some waxed paper sheets. Roll out each dough ball on the cloth until it’s about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes, then carefully flip each piece (it might be a bit fragile) and let it sit for another 45 minutes.

Step 3

Once the dough has rested, stack the sheets on top of each other and cut them into noodles. Spread the noodles out and let them dry for around 3 hours.

Step 4

When you’re ready to cook, bring your chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Toss in the noodles and cook them uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re soft and the broth thickens a bit.
