cricket1178 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I made my noodles, now what? I think the rest of my dinner is going to be wonderful, but I'm worried about the noodles. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow. So curious. What kind of noodles do you make and do you serve them as a side dish? I've never heard of this tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 What to do for that is, you drain them in a colander running cold water through them when they are almost but not quite cooked. Then right before you serve it, you heat a big pot of water, and when it boils, you put the noodles in for about 1 minute or so--that will heat them through. Be sure you stir to separate them. Then you can drain and serve them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6kids2luv Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 We use the very thin homemade noodles. After cooking them, drain any remaining water, then pour half & half or milk or a little of both over them. Season w/ salt. Brown butter in a skillet & pour over top after noodles are in serving dish. There delicious!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket1178 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow. So curious. What kind of noodles do you make and do you serve them as a side dish? I've never heard of this tradition. I made egg noodles. eggs, flour, salt, oil mixed together and kneaded. Then roll out, cut, let dry 2-4 hrs. I was thinking I'd cook them in chicken broth with a little meat and flavoring from the turkey. We put them over our mashed potatoes.

Amie Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 ;) You must be in Ohio or thereabout. My husband lived there for a while and discovered that everyone there makes their "noodles". I (being a southern girl) had never heard of this tradition--I couldn't imagine what they did with these "noodles". I had only eaten noodles under spaghetti sauce or in a casserole. One day I'll have to try these special noodles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Noodles? On mashed potatoes? Is that a family thing or a regional thing? Is it specifically for Thanksgiving? You have me totally intrigued! I know about egg noodles, of course, but I've never heard of them over mashed potatoes or associated with Thanksgiving...

AndyJoy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 My mom always made homemade egg noodles for "turkey and noodles" the day after Thanksgiving with leftover turkey, but I've never heard of having this on Thanksgiving or on mashed potatoes!

My Dh and I are from Indiana and both of our families had noodles every holiday and reunion! We live in CA now, and the one thing my DH and kids insist on are noodles. People here in CA do not "get" it...except for our Pastor and Asst. Pastor...both who grew up in Indiana :) We also serve them on our mashed potatoes...YUM! I just add my dried noodles to boiling broth. The key is to turn them off when they are not *quite done (especially if it is going to be 30 mins or so before you eat) because they will continue to cook.

Daisy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 LOL. You learn something new everyday. That's amazing. I thought maybe you were Italian. I lived in NJ for 8 years and I saw plenty of good old-fashioned pasta but this is a totally different ballgame. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
