Growing up in Gansu province, China where it&rsquo;s a common dish in restaurants and households, I learned the technique through observing my parents&rsquo; cooking. I enjoy the pleasure of both making and eating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As its name suggests, hand-pulled noodles are formed by pulling wheat flour dough by hand into long, elastic strips. Compared to hand-cut and machine-made noodles, they usually have a more silky, springy and chewy texture. They are always served super fresh as the pulling and cooking process happens at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These fresh noodles contain three basic ingredients: wheat flour, salt and water. In some cases, an alkaline agent is added to the dough to make the noodles more springy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"professional-version-vs-easy-version\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">Professional version vs easy version<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The professional version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-7372 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lanzhou-beef-noodles-14-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A chef making hand-pulled noodles\" class=\"wp-image-7372\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#9650; A young chef pulling noodles at Lanzhou 1915 beef noodle soup restaurant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One serving of noodles are pulled from one single piece of dough by folding multiple times. <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/lanzhou-beef-noodle-soup\/\">Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup<\/a>\/&#20848;&#24030;&#29275;&#32905;&#38754; (aka Lanzhou L&#257; Mi&agrave;n, &#20848;&#24030;&#25289;&#38754;), the classic dish of my hometown, showcases this amazing culinary art of noodle making. The use of an alkaline agent (P&eacute;ng Hu&#299;\/&#34028;&#28784; in this case) makes the dough super flexible and stretchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&rsquo;t seen how they are made, I suggest you take a look at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BjNTKSLAyVS\/?igshid=1fy9f6k0viz8t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noodle pulling video<\/a> I took on one of my Culinary Tours of China.

The popular <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/biang-biang-noodles\/\">Xi&rsquo;an Biang Biang Noodles<\/a> are made this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the professional method, this technique is much easier to master.&nbsp;Although simple to make, I&rsquo;d like to explain in detail every aspect of this dish. I hope my complete guide will help you, including kitchen novices, to have a fail-proof experience learning this cooking skill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-basic-workflow\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">The basic workflow<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get down to the detailed explanations, let me first outline the procedures for making hand-pulled noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a smooth, fairly firm dough using flour, salt &amp; water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divide then flatten the dough.

Drop into the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook for 1-2 minutes then dish out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-make-the-perfect-dough\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">How to make the perfect dough<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dough for hand-pulled noodles involves three basic ingredients: wheat flour, water and a little salt. The finished dough should be soft, smooth and elastic thus can be easily pulled into the desired shapes without breaking. Paying attention to the following rules, everyone can make perfect dough with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/lanzhou-beef-noodle-soup\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-07-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of homemade Lanzhou beef noodle soup\" class=\"wp-image-7376\" style=\"width:720px;height:auto\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#9650; <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/lanzhou-beef-noodle-soup\/\">Lanzhou beef noodle soup<\/a> using my easy version of hand-pulled noodles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use all-purpose flour with medium gluten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flour with a medium level of gluten works the best for hand-pulled noodles. That is to say that the protein content should be 10-11g per 100g flour. All-purpose flour (aka plain white flour) sold in the US and the UK falls into this range.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the gluten level of all-purpose flour varies among countries. Check the nutrition label on the package to learn the protein content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flour high in gluten (above 13g protein per 100g flour), such as very strong bread flour, can be used for this recipe but it&rsquo;s harder to work on. Due to its strong, super elastic gluten, the dough tends to shrink back and breaks more easily when pulled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NB:<\/strong> <em>Wholemeal flour\/gluten-free flour is not suitable for making hand-pulled noodles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-7373 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-05-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of plain, wide noodles pulled by hands\" class=\"wp-image-7373\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#9650; Flat, wide noodles pulled the easy way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The flour-water ratio is 2:1 by weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure a fail-proof experience, I recommend you measure flour by weight as it&rsquo;s much more accurate than measuring with a cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flour-water ratio is 2:1 by weight. In my recipe, I add 125g\/ml water to 250g flour to make a dough for 2 servings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might need to slightly adjust the water volume as flour of different brands absorbs water differently. The initial dough (before resting) should be smooth but quite firm. You wouldn&rsquo;t need to dust the work surface with flour when kneading\/rolling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add a little salt to the dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like my parents always do, I add a little salt to the dough for hand-pulled noodles. This is to make cooked noodles more &ldquo;J&#299;n D&agrave;o, &#31563;&#36947;&rdquo; meaning &ldquo;Al Dente&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/On_Food_and_Cooking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">On Food and Cooking<\/a>&rdquo;, scientist <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harold_McGee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harold Mcgee<\/a> explains the purpose of adding salt to noodles: &ldquo;<em>It tightens the gluten network and stabilizes the starch granules, keeping them intact even as they absorb water and swell.<\/em>&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1642\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1.jpg\" alt=\"A piece of dough flattened by a rolling pin.\" class=\"wp-image-7380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1.jpg 1642w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-step-1-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1642px) 100vw, 1642px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coat the dough with oil thoroughly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the dough has been formed, you need to do the following before leaving it to rest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cut the dough into sections. If you are making 2 servings, then cut it into two pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With a rolling pin, flatten each piece to about 1\/2 cm in thickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coat each piece with cooking oil thoroughly (both sides). Place them one on top of another in a tray. Cover with clingfilm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Coating with oil is a crucial procedure. It prevents the dough pieces from sticking to each other. It also helps the final noodles to gain a smooth, silky look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people coat the dough with flour instead. This also works but the cooked noodles tend to have a rougher appearance and a stickier texture on the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allow enough time to rest the dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to dough preparation, resting is very important and can not be skipped. As I mentioned above, the initially formed dough is quite firm. Over time, the elasticity of the dough relaxes. It becomes softer and more malleable. This process makes noodle pulling so much easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend you rest the flattened dough pieces for at least 1.5 hours. If you prepare the dough in advance and pull it the next day, you can store it in the fridge. But, remember to allow it to come back to room temperature before you start working on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-7375 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-06-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of Biang Biang noodles using hand-pulled noodles.\" class=\"wp-image-7375\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#9650;<a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/biang-biang-noodles\/\"> Biang Biang Noodles<\/a> made with my easy hand-pulled method<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-pull-the-noodles\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">How to pull the noodles<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here comes the most exciting part (probably the most intimidating too): Pull the noodles with your hands. Unlike the master chefs in Lanzhou beef noodle restaurants, Chinese home cooks, like my parents, pull their noodles one strip at a time. My foolproof recipe uses the same method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you need to cut the flattened dough pieces into strips. Be gentle when you transfer them onto the work surface as they&rsquo;ve become very soft after resting. Try to retain their shape and do not pinch or pull (yet!).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Round or flat?

Round, thin ones or flat wide ones? I love both. So my recipe includes two ways of shaping the noodles. Give both a try to see what works and tastes better for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round, thin noodles<\/strong>: Cut the flatten dough into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flat, wide noodles<\/strong>: Cut the flatten dough into wide strips, about 3 cm wide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noodle pulling technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pick up one strip of dough by holding each end gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull towards opposite directions.

Fold the noodle and repeat the movement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Please check out my tutorial video (above in the post &amp; below in the recipe card)to see exactly how I do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An alternative method<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find the technique above difficult to master, try the alternative method: Over a pot of boiling water, hold one end of a strip of dough and pull the other end towards the water. Drop the pulled part into the water and continue pulling the remaining part (Please refer to the video).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-cook-the-noodles\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">How to cook the noodles<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other types of noodles, the dough for hand-pulled noodles has a very high water content thus it&rsquo;s very soft, easy to stick and can be cooked through fairly quickly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>When cooking them, you need to take this characteristic into account. Here are some general rules to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cook one serving at a time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulling and cooking happen at the same time. Drop one pulled noodle straight into the boiling water then work on the next one. Stop when you finish all the dough strips for one serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not overcook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes quite a short time to cook hand-pulled noodles. If making round, narrow ones, leave to cook for 1 minute. If making flat, wide ones, leave to cook for 2 minutes. Do not overcook. Perfectly cooked noodles should be smooth, silky in appearance and quite chewy in texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Hand-pulled-noodles-10-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Two bowls of hand-pulled noodles.\" class=\"wp-image-7368\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"serving-ideas\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">Serving ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&rsquo;s talk about how to serve your beautifully made noodles.
