Instructions
-
Start boiling a large saucepan of water with 2 teaspoons of salt and vegetable oil.
-
Whisk flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then stir in eggs and 1/2 to 2/3 cup water to form a wet, pourable dough.
-
Let the dough rest while the water boils.
-
Grate one-third of the dough into the boiling water using a noodle grater; stir to prevent sticking.
-
Cook nokedli for about one minute after they rise, then transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and toss to coat.
-
Repeat the grating and cooking process for the remaining dough in two more batches.
-
Serve with soup or stews; refrigerate or freeze any leftovers.
