Bami Noodles ( Ba Mee Yok )

bami-noodles2.jpg

Thai recipe name pronunciationThis is how I make Bami noodles. Bami noodles are a fresh egg pasta, they can be made very easily and very quickly with the minimum of effort and without special equipment.

Ingredients
100 gms Wheat Flour
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Oil
2 Drops Green Food Coloring
A Rolling Pin

Preparation
1. Whisk the egg with the food color, add the oil and mix with the flour.
2. Knead it for 1-2 minutes to form a stiff dough, then leave for 5 minutes to rest.
3. Roll with a rolling pin into a long flat thin piece of pastry. Approximately 12-14cms wide and as long as you can make it.
4. When I make it, I let the pastry hang over the side of the table, I roll out a piece, move it to hang over the edge, then roll out some more and keep doing that until all the dough is rolled out.
5. Once I have a long thin piece of pastry, you can either roll it into a sausage shape, or like I've done here, fold it concertina fashion. You can see this in the photograph below.
6. Next take a knife and cut thin sections off the end of the folded up pastry.

How to Cook
Simply drop them into boiling water for 3 minutes. They cook very quickly since they are fresh. They are not suitable for freezing, you should make them the same day you want to cook them.
