Chinese 30 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- To make the noodles, combine the flour, water and ¼ tsp salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces, 68g each. Knead each piece and shape into what resembles a small cucumber.
- Generously coat each piece with oil and place in a dish, cover with cling film and set aside to rest for 1 hour.
- Roll each piece of dough out to about 10cm long.
- Press a chopstick down the centre of the dough, forming a deep indent.
- Using your hands, gently stretch out the dough while slapping it on the counter until it’s about 5mm thick.
- Use your fingers to tear through the centre of the dough, forming a loop; the indent you made should assist in tearing it evenly. Do this with the rest of the dough.
- Heat a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
- Cook the noodles for approx. 1 minute, or until they rise to the top and drain. Place the noodles on a serving platter or bowl.
- To prepare the seasoning, finely slice the spring onions.
- Peel and finely grate the garlic.
- Halve the chilli, remove the seeds and finely slice.
- Blanch the pak choi in a pot of salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes before refreshing in iced water for 1 minute.
- Top the noodles with the spring onions, garlic, chilli, Sichuan pepper and remaining salt.
- Heat the sesame oil and pour over the noodles along with the soya sauce and vinegar. Stir and add the pak choi.
- Serve immediately.
- TOP TIP: This dish is also ideal as a cold noodle salad.
