Delicious, Rich, and Uniquely Tasty Durian Noodles Recipe

How to make Durian Noodles

• 1

  Mixing and kneading the dough

  Put 200g of flour and 30g of salt into a bowl, then mix well.

  Gradually add about 1 cup of water into the mixture, then mix and knead until there is no dry flour in the bowl.

  Continue kneading until the dough becomes a soft, smooth mass, then cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  Note: During the kneading process, add water gradually and monitor; when the dough blends well, not too dry or too wet, stop. Do not add all the water at once as it may prevent the dough from achieving the desired consistency.

  Rolling the dough to make noodles

  Sprinkle some dry flour on a flat surface, then place the rested flour on top to start rolling the dough. Use your hands to knead the dough a few times to make it more elastic and smooth.

  Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to double its original size, then fold it in half. Continue to roll it out and fold it again. Keep rolling and folding like this about 5 to 7 times, then wrap the dough tightly and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  This resting time will help the dough naturally develop gluten, making the noodles chewier.

  Repeat the rolling, folding, and resting steps about 2 to 3 times. The folding and rolling of the dough also help make the noodles more delicious; the more you roll, the chewier the noodles will be.

  Evenly and generously sprinkle dry flour all over the surface of the dough to prevent sticking. Fold the dough in half to make cutting easier. Use a knife or a cutting tool to cut the dough into strips about 1 – 2 cm wide.

  Note:

  • If the dough sticks to the knife, sprinkle more dry flour on the surface of the dough.
  • Sprinkle a lot of dry flour over the cut noodles to prevent sticking. Gently stretch each noodle, being careful not to pull too hard and break them.
  • Finally, gently shake the noodles to evenly distribute the dry flour all over them, avoiding them sticking together.

  Blanching Noodles

  Put a pot of water on the stove with a bit more water so that the noodles do not stick to the bottom of the pot.

  When the water is boiling strongly, add the noodles, use chopsticks to stir gently and scrape the bottom so that the noodles do not stick together, blanch for about 3 – 5 minutes or until the noodles float, taste to see if they are cooked, and not mushy in the center is good.

  Then remove and rinse with cold water several times to wash away all the excess starch, then drain.
