Jade Noodles AKA Homemade Spinach Noodles by Marni Xuto
Marni’s recipe for these decadent jade noodles is a delicious way to bring in the Chinese New Year. Eating noodles during Chinese New Year symbolises longevity and a happy life. Inspired by her Mum’s love for jade jewellery, these vibrant noodles can be rustled up in as little as 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 250g plain flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 15g spinach
- 4g salt
- 150ml water
Tools
- Titanium Chef Patissier XL
- Spaghetti Attachment
Method
- Put the spinach and water in a mini chopper and attach on top of Kenwood Titanium Patissier XL. On the touchscreen, set the speed at level 4 for 2 minutes. Press the start button and blend until smooth.
- Put 250 grams of flour, spinach juice and salt into the mixing bowl. Attach the kneading tool choose the minimum speed for 5 minutes. Press start to knead the mixture until it forms the dough.
- Remove the kneading tool, take the dough out, then use your hands to shape the dough into a ball.
- Return the dough into the mixing bowl cover it with a splash guard. Set the temperature at level 4 for 10 minutes. Press start to begin the proofing process. Once finished, the dough should be pliable and slightly elastic.
- Dust some flour on a clean surface, divide the dough into four pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Roll each dough into a thin rectangular shape.
- Attach the spaghetti maker attachment at the front of the mixer. Set minimum speed and press start.
- Gently feed the flattened dough into the spaghetti maker. It's super easy once I slot the sheet in between the spaghetti maker, the mixer will automatically feed the sheet through.
- Dust some more flour to separate the noodles. Repeat the same process until it's finished.
- You can either cook these gorgeous homemade jade noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes straight away. But I'd like to separate and hang them for 2-3 hours before cooking.
