Frequently Asked Questions About Small slice kesme
What is small slice kesme?
Small slice kesme is a Turkish cut noodle, usually made by rolling dough thin, cutting it into small pieces and drying them. It is used in soups and other cooked dishes, and homemade recipes can vary in whether they include egg.
How do you cook small slice kesme?
Cook small slice kesme in boiling water or add it straight to simmering soup until tender. Dried pieces absorb liquid as they cook, so add hot water if the dish becomes thicker than you want.
What is the difference between small slice kesme and erişte?
Small slice kesme and erişte are both Turkish noodles made from cut dough; the distinction is often the size of the pieces or the regional name. Small slice kesme may be cut smaller, though household styles vary.
How do you make soup with small slice kesme?
Simmer small slice kesme in water or stock, then season it with ingredients such as onion, tomato paste or legumes. The noodles thicken the broth as they cook, so stir occasionally and adjust the consistency with hot water.
What is small slice kesme made from?
Small slice kesme is generally made from flour, egg, water and salt, though some recipes use different proportions or omit egg. The dough is rolled thin, cut into small pieces and dried for later cooking.
Do you need to soak small slice kesme before cooking?
No, dried small slice kesme usually does not need soaking; add it directly to boiling water or soup. Freshly cut dough may cook faster than dried kesme, so check it early to avoid overcooking.
Can you use small slice kesme instead of pasta in soup?
Yes, small slice kesme works in many soups in place of small pasta shapes. Add it near the end of cooking and watch the broth, since kesme releases starch and absorbs liquid as it softens.
How should you store small slice kesme?
Store small slice kesme in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Homemade kesme must be thoroughly dried before storage; any remaining moisture can encourage mold.
Can you freeze small slice kesme?
Yes, you can freeze small slice kesme. Freeze freshly cut pieces in a single layer first so they do not clump, then transfer them to a sealed container; dried kesme should be fully dry before freezing.
Does small slice kesme raise blood sugar?
Yes, small slice kesme contains carbohydrate and can raise blood sugar. The portion and the rest of the meal matter; if you have diabetes, ask your clinician or dietitian how to fit it into your meal plan.
