Fireman Bobs Homemade Egg Noodles My Way Recipes

FIREMAN BOB'S NOODLES AND SHORT RIBS SOUP MY WAY..

Steps:

• 1. Note: This recipe brings beef and noodles together in a soup and begins by cooking beef short ribs until the meat falls off the bone, then adding homemade egg noodles to the pot to make soup. Have your Butcher cut the short ribs down to about 2 inches long if needed.
• 2. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Chop the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic, and set aside. Generously season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, brown the beef on all sides over high heat in a small amount of oil. Remove beef from pot and set aside.
• 3. Now add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic and simmer in the beef drippings till almost browned. Add the grape juice and use a wooden spoon to loosen all the " tid bits " from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and the browned beef.
• 4. Add the stock, and cider making sure the liquid covers the meat, add more beef stock until the ribs are covered by an inch. Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to the oven. Allow the beef to cook untouched for 5 hours.
• 5. Remove pot from oven and carefully remove the beef ribs from the liquid. Remove the meat from the bones and gently pull the meat into bite-sized pieces. Also, " DIG " out the bone marrow from inside the bones and add with the meat. Set aside.
• 6. Preparing the Noodles
• 7. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and fennel. Add the beaten eggs, milk, and butter. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired length. Allow to air dry 20 minutes before cooking.
• 8. Add the noodles to the liquid and simmer over a medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Turn off heat.
• 9. Add the beef and stir until the meat is heated through. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Top off each bowl with the green onions. Serve hot with a good crusty bread.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES, THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Steps:

• Starting with approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of flour per egg, make a mound of flour with a nest in the middle on a large pastry board or flat surface.
• Sprinkle with the pinch of salt.
• Mix the eggs and water in a bowl until well beaten. Pour the egg mixture into the nest.
• Fold the flour into the eggs and knead the dough, adding flour until you achieve a soft, elastic dough that holds together, but doesn't shine, until it "feels right.".
• Let the dough set for about 10 minutes. (at room temperature).
• Roll out in batches to 1/8 inch thick or less (It expands when it cooks) -- make sure there is still flour on the board or flat surface you are using to roll out your noodles -- and cut in strips, as narrow or wide as you prefer. (caution: more than 3/4 inch wide strips becomes like dumplings when you cook them) [if you have a pasta press, this last part is much easier, and less messy, but in some ways less of the traditional fun, too].
• If possible let the cut noodles dry for about 10 minutes before adding them to the boiling broth in which you are going to cook them (water works, too).
• If you are too eager, you can just throw them in the soup as you cut them, but they will expand into thicker, softer noodles, if you do. [my family loves them both ways, with frozen peas added after the last noodles go into the pot.]
• It only takes 3-5 minutes for fresh noodles to cook, unless you didn't roll them out thin enough. Then it might take 7-8.
• Enjoy!

HANDMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.

• Enro Gay's Version for a Family Gathering with her Gravy...
• Enro Gay... " Hello, Bob... the meatballs were a huge success. I reduced the recipe by using 4 pounds meat (2 ground beef, 1 veal and 1 pork sausage) and used dry Italian bread crumbs in place of day-old bread (and adjusting other ingredient amounts to match). Since these were made for homemade meatball subs, I made them much smaller and cooked them a short time in the oven before transferring to my slow cooker. "
• " I did not use your "gravy" as outlined above, but used this instead: "
• Small onion, fine chopped Small green pepper, fine chopped 2 cloves garlic, fine chopped 3 Tbsp EVOO 6 ounce tomato paste 1/4 cup dry red wine 3/4 cup chicken broth 2-15 ounce cans tomato sauce 1 tsp dried oregano 3/4 tsp dried basil 1 tsp sugar Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• Saute onion and green pepper in EVOO for a couple minutes, add the garlic and cook another minute. Then add the tomato paste and wine, stirring for another minute or so. Then add the chicken broth, tomato sauce and spices, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 3 hours... YUMMY!
• " I made it the night before, then warmed in up, transferred sauce to the slow cooker and added the meatballs to simmer on low until we got ready to eat. I will make the dinner size meatballs next time and serve to my hubby with spaghetti, a favorite of his. Thanks for a wonderful meatball recipe! "
• " Absolutely... feel free! Even though the sauce and meatballs were sealed up in my locking-lid slow cooker, my mother and I could smell this during our 1.5 hour trip to see my son... just about drove us crazy! :-) "
• " Ummm.. Thank You again... it DOES have that quality!!! Lol!!! " HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!!!!!!!
