Matcha Noodle Salad

Ingredients
Noodles
2 tsp matcha + 4 tsp hot water
7 oz bread flour
2 eggs
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp + 2 tsp salt
flour for dusting
2 – 4 cherry tomatoes
a few lettuce or chicory leaves,
or shredded celery

Salad Dressing
1 tsp salt and pepper
3 Tbsp wine vinegar
5 Tbsp salad oil

Method

1. Mix the matcha and hot water stir briskly until the becomes smooth.
2. Combine the matcha paste, flour, eggs, olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix and knead into a dough. Leave for 40 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough as thinly as you can into one large sheet. Sprinkle flour over the top and fold the dough over itself several times, in accordion fashion. Cut into thin (1/8 inch) and quickly loosen the noodles so they don’t stick together.
4. Make the dressing by combining the salad ingredients and stirring until mixed.
   
5. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt and boil the noodles until al dente ( 2-3 minutes).
   
6. Drain in a colander and rinse quickly in cold water. Drain again.
   7. Place the noodles in a large dish, add the dressing, and mix. Serve with cherry tomatoes and few lettuce or chicory leaves.
   Note: Noodles taste best when immediately after they are boiled.
