Make the Noodles!
This step is when the noodles get made!
A process so strange, its almost like magic
Heres what you do:
-Using your syringe, draw up some of the warm mixture.
-Insert the tubing onto the syringe and push the liquid inside.
-Take the tubing off the syringe, and place into the ice water bath, and let sit for a minute.
-Put the syringe back onto the tubing once the liquid has chilled, and press air into it, to "shoot" the noodle out.
Wah-lah, there you have it. A delicious, single bacon noodle
-Repeat
