HOMEMADE KUE TIAU

My pasta machine



FRESH NOODLES TRANSFORMED INTO KUE TIAU

Ingredients :

350g high protein flour
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon lime water (air kapur)
100ml water
a bit of yellow coloring or tumeric powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cooking oil
flour for dusting

Method :
1. Sift flour into a big bowl and make a well in the middle.
2. In another bowl, add egg whites, lime water, water, yellow coloring and salt. Stir well.
3. Pour the liquid into the well and knead till a firm dough is formed.
4. Divide dough into 4 portions.
5. Roll flat and let the dough go through the pasta machine, the smooth side. For my machine, I'll roll once using #4, second rolling on #5 and final rolling (the thinnest) with # 6.
6. Coat the thin piece with flour, and roll it through the slicer.
7. Boil water with 3 tablespoons of oil.
8. Blanch (low heat) the noodles for 2 minutes. One portion at a time to avoid it from sticking to each other.
9. Strain and rub 3 tablespoons of oil.
10. Ready to use. Can also be kept in the fridge 3 to 4 days.

Note:
1. I used cake flour....I still have about 15kgs to go...
2. I didn't use lime water.
3. No coloring used because kue tiau is suppose to be white
4. I didn't put any salt in the dough because I learnt from Datin Salma (her version of fresh noodles is in one of my previous entries), we mustn't put any salt in the dough to prevent our pasta machine from getting rusty.
5. When doing homemade noodles, I do 'play' a lot with flour! Sometimes you can see flour on my face as well..hahaha...and yesterday, Syahmi had flour on his shirt. He had been so sweet to help mama make kuetiau...
6. And oh....I used my mixer to knead...

Blunders that I made...
I put the 6 tablespoons oil into the dough when kneading! But alhamdulillah, it still came out nice...
