I made these delicious noodles after coming home from Los Angeles, unsatisfied with not finding them anywhere! These are elastic, wide belt noodles, dressed in a black vinegar and garlic dressing with loads of chilies.

Instructions

Step 1

For the dough:

Step 2

Mix flour, water and salt in a bowl. Knead by hand until well combined and very smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Knead each one again and roll it into a long, thick rope.

Step 4

Thoroughly coat each dough piece with oil then place them on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rest for 1 hour.

Step 5

Put a large pot of water to boil. While waiting, flatten each dough piece into a rectangle shape with a rolling pin.

Step 6

When the water begins to boil, start the process of pulling the noodles carefully, while banging the long wide strip on the counter.

Step 7

Press the dough in the middle lengthways using a chopstick to slightly indent the dough for splitting later.

Step 8

Hold each end of the dough with your thumbs secured, and pull gently until it stretches to your preferred thickness. I like mine thinner than normal because they swell up after cooking quite a bit.

Step 9

Put the noodle on a surface. Break it apart from the middle line to make a loop.

Step 10

Put the noodle into the boiling water. Repeat the procedure to pull other noodles. Cook a little bit at a time. They take about 1 minute to cook thoroughly. When cooked, place into a bowl large enough to mix.
