While it’s hard to beat the convenience and versatility of store-bought noodles, making them at home, by hand, is a fulfilling cooking project that is deceptively simple. It’s a deeply satisfying task, on the same level as baking your own sourdough, and the results are perfectly chewy noodles, with ragged edges and imperfect lines: the ideal vehicles for your favorite sauce or chile oil. If possible, use scales to make sure the measurements of flour and water are accurate.
