WHAT IS HAND PULLED NOODLES?

Hand-pulled noodles are long, think and broad noodles which are made by human. They are hand-made noodles that’s why they are very special. Hand-pulled noodles are made from Wheat flour, when we made a dough of wheat flour by kneading it gives a very silky smooth texture to noodles.

HOW TO MAKE DOUGH

We just need three ingredients for making this dough

• Wheat flour
• salt
• water
• oil

We have to keep it in our mind that the main thing about dough is its resting so that it can be swell and give you the best texture of noodles.

The first thing is to rest dough when you knead it, you have to knead it about 5 times between the rest of 15 minutes of each kneading step. It is not too much effort but if you want the smooth silky texture of your noodles then you have to do it.

The next time when dough takes rest when you divide them or cut them into small stuff and put oil on them and then leave them for about 50 minutes.

HOW MUCH TIME DOUGH TAKE?

Dough take almost 5 to 6 hours of rest so it can be stretchy and soft in texture.
