Let dry on the cutting board, 5 minutes, flip, dust other side, dry 5 more minutes.

* Step 2

Make a pancake roll around a bamboo skewer or chop stick, cut in 0.4 mm wide slices, about 1/8 inch. Unroll, hang the noodles to straighten on bamboo skewers or chop sticks, few minutes.

* Step 3

Bring 2 quarts water to boil, add and boil the fresh noodles till ready, about 5 minutes. Test the linguini by squeezing a strand between your fingers. Ready when it splits. Lift noodles in collander with thongs. Leave just enough water in pan to immerse clams, bring to boil till they open, about 5 minutes. Taste broth. If you want stronger broth, add Tbs oyster sauce. Discard closed shells.
