Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Gradually add water while mixing with chopsticks or your hand until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead the dough on a clean surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for 1–2 hours.

Step 2: Shape the Noodles

  1. Divide the dough into 8–10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball, then flatten into an oval shape.
  2. Lightly oil each piece and cover them with plastic wrap. Rest for another 30 minutes.
  3. To stretch the noodles, take one piece and press it into a thin strip with your fingers or a rolling pin.
  4. Hold each end of the strip and gently pull to stretch it into a long, wide noodle. If it resists, rest it for a few more minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Noodles

  1. Boil a large pot of water. Add the stretched noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes or until they float and are tender.
  2. Remove the noodles and drain. Place them in a bowl.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce

  1. In a small heatproof bowl, combine chili flakes, minced garlic, green onions, sesame seeds, and salt.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil until it’s shimmering (but not smoking), then carefully pour the hot oil over the chili mixture. It will sizzle and release an aromatic fragrance.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, black vinegar, and sugar to complete the sauce.

Step 5: Assemble

  1. Pour the prepared chili oil sauce over the cooked noodles.
  2. Add optional toppings like blanched vegetables, fried egg, or shredded chicken.
  3. Mix everything well before eating.

Tips for Success

  • Resting the dough is crucial for elasticity and ease of pulling.
  • Adjust chili and seasoning to your taste preferences.
  • Practice patience when pulling the noodles; it gets easier with experience!
