Ramen Noodles

Servings: 4

Ingredients
  • 3 egg
  • 2 cup double '00' flour
Instructions Using a Food Processor
  1. Place the flour inside a food processor. While keeping the machine on, add the eggs one at a time through the chute. Stop the food processor when it forms into a dough.
  2. REMOVE THE BLADE BEFORE SCRAPING THE DOUGH WITH YOUR HANDS. Using your hands knead out the dough into an 8-inch roll. Cover it with plastic wrap.

For best results, make sure the dough turns out dry and not sticky or mushy.

Instructions for Noodles
  1. Using the pasta machine, on the base go from setting #6 (widest) and finish on # 2. Then use the thinnest cutter on the attachment to cut the noodles.

Chef Maria Cummins

Born in Venezuela, Maria Cummins discovered her deep-rooted passion for food from an early age. Her culinary journey led her to Lima, Peru, where she immersed herself in the rich secrets of Peruvian gastronomy during part of her childhood. In her early twenties, she embarked on a new chapter by coming to the United States and delving into the Hospitality Industry in Boston, Massachusetts.

Maria's culinary adventure continued as she relocated to San Diego, California, where she made her mark by opening the renowned El Tucan Restaurant. Her extensive travels and diverse experiences greatly influenced her innovative culinary style, shaping the unique approach she is celebrated for today.

During her time in San Diego, Chef Maria not only honed her culinary skills but also gained a profound understanding of the importance of nutrition, particularly through the use of organic and unprocessed ingredients.

Today, Maria Cummins is the proud owner, founder, and head chef of the Real Food Academy, a culinary haven nestled in the vibrant city of Miami. Here, both kids and adults come together every week to share the joy of connecting through the power of Real Food and Real Fun!

  • Roxana Casanueva

    I recently attended the pizza-making class at The Real Food Academy, and it was an amazing experience! The class was fun, interactive, and perfect for all skill levels. The instructors were knowledgeable and made the process easy to follow, from kneading the dough to choosing fresh ingredients for toppings. The best part was getting to customize my own pizza and then enjoying the delicious results! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great activity for friends, couples, or even solo attendees. I also appreciated the focus on high-quality, wholesome ingredients. Overall, I highly recommend this class to anyone who loves pizza and wants to learn how to make it from scratch. A great way to spend an evening and pick up some new cooking skills!

  • Josselyn Solis

    I recently celebrated my daughter’s fifth birthday at the real food Academy. Hands-down, having our event with them was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Words do not do this team justice. I had the privilege to have Maya and Rey, who were outstanding the entire time. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed our family. Rey helped us on dock our car and set everything up. Maya and her beautiful smile, from the start, captured our ideas and brought it to life. We had a couple additional kids join us in and even when it was chaotic, Rey found the way to set up extra seating placements for our additional guests. They had such great energy, kept the party going, helped us with every request and more. All of my guests, had an amazing time making pizza and cupcakes. If you are having any second thoughts in having your event with them, don’t even hesitate, just book it. Thank you once again for an unforgettable birthday party!
