Trying to make some hand pulled noodles. I hear it takes about 3 years to master this. Yip.

what is your recipe for your flour?

thanks

@ahsuknat I think this is the recipe I used (see below). Most recipes combine AP flour and cake flour in order to achieve proper gluten levels. I've also heard that the secret ingredient is Lye Water, which you can find in Chinese grocery stores. Honestly, this is the first and last time I ever tried to pull noodles. It's way too much work for me. Good luck, I hope your results are better than mine!

300g Cake flour

50g AP flour

200g Water

15g Sesame oil

6g Salt

3g Baking soda

Great job! you looked like a pro... But your yield needs to be “marketed” properly... Call it the “Noodle Sampler” and say you meant to do that :)
