Here’s a complete recipe guide for making Egg Noodles and Egg Roll Wraps — perfect for a homemade Asian-style meal.
🥢 Homemade Egg Noodles
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsp water (if needed)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil (optional)
Instructions
- Make the dough
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center, crack in eggs, and whisk slightly.
- Gradually mix the eggs with the flour until it forms a dough.
- Add water if too dry, or a little flour if too sticky.
- Knead
- Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rest
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest 30 minutes.
- Roll and cut
- Roll the dough thin with a rolling pin.
- Cut into desired noodle width (fettuccine-style or thinner for lo mein).
- Cook noodles
- Boil in salted water 2–4 minutes until tender.
- Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
🥟 Egg Roll Wraps
Ingredients (Makes ~12 wraps)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Make the dough
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
- Add egg, water, and oil. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead
- Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
- Roll wraps
- Divide dough into small balls (~2 inches each).
- Roll each ball into a thin, round sheet (2–3 mm thick).
- Cook (optional)
- Lightly cook on a dry skillet 30–60 seconds per side to make pliable, or use raw for deep-frying later.
- Fill & roll
- Place your choice of filling (cabbage, carrots, cooked meat, mushrooms) in the center.
- Fold sides over and roll tightly for egg rolls.
Tips for Both
- Resting the dough makes it easier to roll.
- Thin noodles cook faster and are tender.
- Egg roll wrappers can be frozen for later use — just thaw before filling.
- Use a bit of cornstarch or flour to prevent sticking when rolling.
If you want, I can also make a quick-cook version that lets you make both egg noodles and egg roll wraps in under 30 minutes, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
