Ingredients

300 g All-purpose flour
150–180 ml (room temperature) Water
½ tsp Salt
for dusting Cornstarch or flour

Method

Mix flour + salt in bowl → add water gradually → stir with chopsticks until shaggy dough forms.
Knead on floured surface 10–15 minutes until very smooth and elastic (dough should bounce back when poked).
Cover dough → rest 30–60 minutes at room temp (makes pulling easier).
Divide into 4 pieces → roll each into 1–2 cm thick rope → coil ropes → cover → rest 15 min.
For hand-pulled: oil hands/surface → uncoil rope → stretch gently, twisting and slapping against counter until thin (2–3 mm) strands form (practice required; if breaks, shorten rope).
Alternative cut: roll dough flat to 2 mm thick → dust with cornstarch → fold sheet → cut into thin strips with sharp knife.
Shake off excess flour → boil in salted water 2–5 min until floating and al dente → drain → rinse cold for stir-fry or serve hot in soup.
Makes 4 servings — chewy homemade Asian noodles, hand-pulled for authentic texture (no machine needed).
