Homemade Green Tea Flat Noodles Soup (Pan Mee)

Usually I just buy ready make raw or cooked noodles from supermarket shelves.I never make my own noodle until my mom told me how to do it in a simply and easy way.So,I decided to give a try using Green Tea/Matcha powder 抹茶,as the flavour enhancer.It's really fresh and interesting to make your own pasta "Flat Noddles Soup" that I crave when thinking about this yummy delicious noodle soup. The infusion green tea powder into my homemade flat noodles bring the refreshing healthy idea of cooking pasta.

Here are some fact excerpt from m WIKIpedia:Matcha 抹茶 Matcha is a fine, powdered green tea used particularly in the Japanese tea ceremony, as well as to dye and flavour foods such as mochi and and a variety of wagashi(Japanese confectionery). The most famous Matcha-producing regions are in Kyoto (tea from this region is called "Ujicha"), Nishio in Aichi (tea from this region is called "Nishiocha") both on the main island of Honshū Shizuoka and Northern Kyushu.
