Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are well blended.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the aquafaba and water together until homogeneous.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually pour in the aquafaba mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula to form a sticky, cohesive dough. Keep stirring until no lumps remain.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Working in batches, use a spaetzle maker or a large-holed grater to press the dough into the boiling water.
Step 6
Let the nokedli cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water into a colander. Rinse briefly with cold water to stop cooking and set aside.
Step 7
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained nokedli and sauté for a few minutes until they are lightly golden and crisp on some edges.
Step 8
Serve the dairy-free nokedli warm as a side dish or with your favorite sauce.
