[KatiushaVN4]

速溶蓬灰 is th secret ingredient to make the noodle stretch, it wont stretch without it.

鹼式鹽?

@MkyHnly No watch my video and learn there's no secret ingredient just a secret kneeding method

[wwescotty]

true

[wwescotty]

Do you post the same thing on every hand pulled noodle video? Because your making yourself look stupid as its not a "special ingredient" its just an optional additive. 90% of chefs that make La mian don't bother with it. The only thing it helps with is you don't have to knead the dough for so long.

Not essential. It will stretch without it.

what is the recipe for he dough that you used to make the lai mein noodles?

I really need to know..... It is for a school project.

Please reply to this message so that I get the recipe, I need it by tomorrow

速溶蓬灰 is th secret ingredient to make the noodle stretch, it wont stretch without it. google the chinese writing

If you eat this stuff, then you will definitely stop eating it soon. The dough is a mixture of flour and ashes (or cement if the restaurant really wants to make a profit). The ashes are usually collected from burnt trees found in northern China. I ate this stuff when I was young, but stopped once my mom found out.

[arthurandroid]

It's not ashes, it is lye. Lye was historically made by leeching it out of hardwood ash. But you can make the noodles with bicarb, or even forego the alkali altogether, the texture suffers a bit, but you can still pull the noodles. Lye has been linked to stomach cancer, so I tend to avoid it.

@allycat1673 Watch my vid its in the response teaches you how to do it in about 20 minutes
