Procedure

1. Beat the egg. Mix and knead in flour until you have a very stiff dough.
2. Roll the dough out into a thin sheet.
3. Sprinkle the dough with a good amount of flour to prevent it from sticking to itself. Tightly roll up the dough to make a log.
4. Use a sharp knife to cut the log cross-wise into thin slices, similar to how you would slice cabbage for slaw. Unroll the noodles and toss with flour.
5. Add the noodles to boiling soup. Simmer for 10 minutes.
