Hand-Pulled Noodles
Across China, there are many ways to make noodles, but the distinct, toothsome chew from fresh noodles cannot be beaten. Hand-pulled noodles, as the name suggests, are made with wheat dough that is rolled and stretched by hand into long strips and then cooked immediately after pulling. I will guide you through all of the essential tips and techniques to create these comforting and craveable noodles at home. We’ll load the noodles with flavor by turning them into a savory Chinese beef stew and spicy vegetarian Dan Dan noodles.
