Ingredients

For the noodles

1¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup water
½ teaspoon oil for coating

For the sauce and toppings

1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
½ tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
½ teaspoon ground dried chilli
½ teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon black rice vinegar

For serving

1 portion bok choy

Steps

In a large bowl, mix 1 ¾ cups flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pour in ½ cup gradually while stirring with chopsticks. Use your hands to combine and knead it into a rough-looking dough. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Mix and knead on low speed until a dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a cloth or a lid. Leave to rest for 15 minutes. Then knead again until it becomes smooth.
15 min
Use your hands or a brush to coat a thin layer of ½ teaspoon over the dough and the blades of a pair of kitchen scissors.
In a pot or a large saucepan, bring plenty of ½ cup water to a gentle boil. Hold the dough with one hand and the scissors with the other. Over the pot, cut strips of noodles off the dough and allow them to fall into the water.
After you finish the entire piece of dough, boil the noodles for 2 minutes or so. Add 1 portion bok choy and cook for another 20 seconds. Depending on the thickness of your noodles, the cooking time may vary. Adjust as needed. Ideally, the noodles should be cooked but remain firm in the middle.
2 min 20 sec
Fish out the noodles and 1 portion bok choy and transfer them to 2 serving bowls.
Please note that the seasoning quantity in the ingredient list is for 2 bowls. Add 1 tablespoon scallions, ½ tablespoon garlic, 1 teaspoon chilli flakes, ½ teaspoon ground chilli, ½ teaspoon Sichuan pepper and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to the noodles.
Heat 3 tablespoons until it smokes. Pour it over the aromatics and spices. Add 1 tablespoon and 1 tablespoon. Mix well and serve immediately.
