Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil for pulling
• A sturdy wooden countertop or large cutting board

The salt plays a vital role in giving your noodles the perfect chewy texture. Also, do not try to substitute all-purpose flour with any other variety. Its gluten level is perfectly balanced for making noodles.

How To Make Hand Pulled Noodles

1. Start by combining flour and salt, then gradually add water while kneading until you form a soft, smooth dough. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into equal small portions. Then using your palms, flatten each portion and lengthen it into a noodle strip, gently pulling it all the while.
3. Repeat this with all dough portions. Cook in boiling water or broth until they float to the surface. All done!

Tips For The Best Results

• Keep the dough covered to stop it from drying out.
• Ensure your hands are well-oiled before pulling the noodles.

Storage Tips

• Raw noodles can be kept refrigerated up to 24 hours.
• Cooked noodles are best when eaten immediately, but can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
