Pink butterfly surface
Overview
I saw similar butterfly noodles at Gourmet before, and I was itching for a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t have a noodle press at home. For us Wenzhou people, noodles are just an occasional snack. It would be a waste to buy a noodle press. Today I made them with my rolling pin. Learning to make noodles is fun, and the process of turning flour into noodles is fun. I didn't go to work today and kept playing with my children. This noodle is very simple. Even someone like me, who has zero experience in making noodle, can succeed. So beginners feel free to do it.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Blanch purple amaranth, squeeze out the juice and set aside.
-
Pour amaranth juice into flour and stir until fluffy.
-
Knead into a smooth dough, which should be slightly stiff.
-
In order to make the butterfly noodles more beautiful, I kneaded another white dough and planned to make a two-color one. Knead the dough and set it aside to rest for 10 minutes.
-
Roll out the pink and white dough into thin sheets.
-
Brush the dough pieces with water and stack them together.
-
Cut into sections with a knife.
-
Use a rolling pin to roll it out thinly. If you want a wider dough, brush the two sections together with water and roll them out thinner. Then slice.
-
Cut into small pieces and cut out lace on the side.
-
Use chopsticks to pinch it in the middle, and a beautiful butterfly noodle will be ready.
-
There was some extra dough, I rolled it out into thin sheets and folded it a few times.
-
Cut into sections with a knife.
-
Shake it open and you will see the pink hand-made dough.
-
Put the butterfly noodles into a plate and sprinkle some dry powder to avoid sticking.
-
Let’s take a group photo, which one do you like more, hand-rolled noodles or colorful butterfly noodles?
-
I cooked a bowl directly and poured it with bone broth as my son's snack this afternoon.
