Ingredients: (10 servings)
Flour (800 grams)
Water (345 grams)
Salt (1.5 tsp)
Baking Soda (1/4 tsp)

1. Mix Flour, Salt and Baking Soda into a big bowl. Pour water in increments while mixing the ingredients. Knead the dough pushing down and out with force, alternating sides.
(Flour dough is very dry and tough, especially in the beginning, it will be difficult to knead)
2. Continue to knead for 5-10 minutes depending on strength and technique, use two hands if needed and transfer to a surface for more space. The dough will get smooth with a bit of bounce-back, then cover it and rest for 1 to 1.5 hours.
3. Take it out and knead the dough again for 2-3 minutes, if it's a large portion cut it in half and then let the dough rest again for 10 minutes.
4. Flatten the dough out with your palms and use a rolling pin to roll a thin sheet (1-2 mm thick). See video for some rolling techniques. Put a generous amount of flour above and below the dough to avoid any sticking. Fold the dough over itself a few times into a rectangle. Use a knife and cut into noodle size pieces. Dust some flour on top and shake the noodles to separate them.
5. To Cook the noodles, use a large amount of water in a pot to dilute the starch and add in some oil and a generous amount of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes and.... Done!

These can store in freezer for a significant time, I just let them freeze on a plate and cover with saran wrap. Just defrost them in the fridge and boil when ready.
