Why?

The sauce is super simple and tastes great. You can make the noodles from scratch (recommended) or use the sauce on regular noodles to spice up a quick and easy dinner

How?

  • Add the 300g flour, 1/3 tsp salt and 1/2 cup water to a large mixing bowl, stir until all ingredients are roughly mixed.
  • Knead the dough with your hands for about 5 mins until it forms a roughly smooth dough (it will become softer and smoother after resting)
  • Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rest at room temperature for 45 mins
  • After 45 mins, flip the dough and knead with your hands for 3 mins until it becomes smooth.
  • Divide into 8 equal pieces, roll each piece into a sausage shape about 3 1/2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
  • Roll and cover each piece with vegetable oil, place on a plate and then cover and leave again for 1 hour.

Sauce

Make while dough is resting (it only takes 5 mins)

Add the listed ingredients to a heat proof dish.

Heat the oil until it just starts to smoke.

Pour oil onto ingredients (enjoy the sizzle).

Mix in the soy sauce and vinegar to make a delicious sauce.

Back to the Noodles

Once rested for an hour, use your palm to flatten each piece into a thin sheet, approx 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. Create a line length ways through the centre of each piece, using the back of a knife (don’t go all the way through).

Hold each end of the dough sheets, stretch and slap it onto the working surface to make a “biang biang” sound. Stretch until it reaches about 3ft in length. Find the centre of the noodle and tear it apart along the middle until it forms a loop, set aside and repeat for each dough sheet.

Add the noodles to a large pot of boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are floating on the surface.

Strain and place in a bowl, top with the sauce and serve.

This could be a lunch or dinner
