How to make REAL Japanese ramen from scratch

Step 4Rest.

The dough needs to rest before we stretch it, otherwise it will not make nice thin noodles.
Put it in a damp cloth and find something to do for at least 30 minutes in the summer, up to 2 hours in the winter.

how many servings is this recipe?

depends how hungry you are, and how much noodle to broth you are using, but this seems to be enough for about 3-4 servings with a lot of noodles in the broth for me and my family.

D; I'll wait 1 hour because it's spring time so I thought I'd be in the middle of waiting time.

I hope it turns out delicious!

im finished waiting with the dough im so excited but can you refigerate it cause i cant cook it untill like 3 hours

does the waiting time depend on humidity or temperature or what? because where I live, it's pretty humid all year round, but the temperature changes a lot.
