Peel and chop the carrots, green onion, turmeric, and ginger. Place the vegetable scraps into a pot with some oil. Sauté the veggies for 5-10 minutes.
Add 8 cups of water and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes. Combine the flours and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk together the egg and water then slowly add it to the dry ingredients.
Once the dough starts to form together knead until your hands become mostly clean. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. On a clean surface roll out the dough as thinly as possible. Cut into thin strips and let them rest.
Strain the vegetables and collect the broth. Sauté the ginger, turmeric, and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add the broth, salt , and red pepper. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Bring back to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for 4 minutes then serve. Add carrots, green onion, egg, or what ever you have on hand.
