My most viral video is my 10 minutes Spicy Garlic Noodles, and the most asked question is always where I buy my noodles?
I’m going to demonstrate how to make Chinese hand-pulled noodles today using just FOUR basic ingredients!
I can assure you that these Chinese hand-pulled noodles will taste better than ANY store-bought noodles.
If you try making these Chinese hand-pulled noodles, I can guarantee that your family and friends will beg you to do so every single week (I know my fiancé did).
It may seem intimidating at first to make Chinese Hand-pull Noodles at home, but trust me, after a few tries, you will become an expert!
Plus, did I mention that making these noodles at home is SO much fun? If you are concerned, I would suggest letting it rest in oil for an additional hour.
The dough gets softer and easier to stretch the longer these rest in the oil.
Even better, prepare these the day before up to step 3 and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat them the following day.
Can I store the noodle dough?
Yes. The dough can be covered and placed in the refrigerator after being rolled out and resting at room temperature for two hours. When you’re ready to serve the noodles, cut, pull, and boil them.
FAQ
How hand-pulled noodles are made?
Hand-pulled noodles are made by hand-stretching wheat flour dough into long, elastic strips, as their name implies. Noodles made this way typically have a more silky, springy, and chewy texture when compared to noodles cut by hand or machine. Due to the simultaneous pulling and cooking of them, they are always served extremely fresh.
Can you hand pull ramen noodles?
For ramen, you don’t hand-pull the dough. You flatten the dough and cut it into long, thin strands that resemble noodles.
How do you knead hand-pulled noodles?
Pull the Noodles: To make wide noodles, cut into 1. 5 to 2-inch thick strips. To make thin noodles, cut into ½-inch thick strips. Slowly pull the noodles in opposite directions while holding the ends of each strip in each hand. Make sure to pull it slowly to avoid snapping.
