Yuca Starch Squeeze Noodles
So fast and easy, even kids will enjoy making this angel-hair pasta.
Equipment
- 1 Condiment bottle with squeeze top, or a plastic bag
Ingredients
- 1 Large egg, beaten
- 1 Pinch of salt
- ½ cup Yuca starch (approximately)
Instructions
- Heat a pot of water to a simmer.
- Mix egg and salt in a bowl.
- Gradually whisk in yuca starch until batter forms a thin V falling off the whisk, and ribbons of batter remain visible for about 3 seconds before melting back into the batter.
- Pour batter into a condiment bottle with a squeeze top. Or, put the batter into a sandwich-size plastic bag with a zipper top, and cut a small hole in one corner.
- Squeeze batter into pot while moving your hands continually in a spiral. Noodles should form instantly. If they dissolve, add a little more yuca starch. If they fall to the bottom and form clumps, add a very small amount of water.
- As soon as noodles form, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and drop them into ice-cold water to firm up.
- When ready to serve, drain the noodles well and serve with your favorite hot or cold sauce.
