Set aside for a while and knead to make flat bread (like a roti\/chapatti). Score it and cut into thin strips to make the noodles. Add some flour so the noodles don\u2019t stick together and refrigerate them for future use. To cook the noodles, drop them in boiling water for a few minutes (they don\u2019t take long to cook). Do a taste test to check if cooked. Drain the noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/workoutwithjanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/noodle1-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/workoutwithjanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/noodle1-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/workoutwithjanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/noodle1-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/workoutwithjanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/noodle1-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/workoutwithjanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/noodle1-1536x1229.png 1536w, https:\/\/workoutwithjanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/noodle1.png 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Simple &amp; fun to do&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the noodles, you can pretty much add any ingredient you want and saut\u00e9 it with seasoning you like.
