Hello everyone, this is Xiaogaojie.
Today we will make fried hand pulled noodles.
Make the dough first.
All purpose flour, salt and water.
Form a dough first. It is a medium hard dough.
Rest it for 20 minutes.
Then knead it,
until it becomes smooth.
Flatten it with a rolling pin.
If your dough shrinks, cover it and wait for 5 minutes.
Doesn't have to be very thin.
After it is flattened, seal with oil,
on both sides.
If not sealed properly, the dough will dry out, and it will break when you pull it later.
Rest the dough for two hours to relax the gluten completely.
Prepare some side dishes.
Chop garlic.
Shred onions.
Cut the celery with leaves.
Remove the seeds of green peppers and shred.
You can keep the seeds, it you like extra spicy.
Cut tomatoes.
Scramble two eggs.
The dough is ready, cut it into thick strips.
Round it, the gluten is completely relaxed now.
It's easy to pull it long.
Fold it, then fold it again.
After two folds, you feel the gluten is tight.
Throw the noodles to the table and pull it at the same time.
This is a easier way to make hand pulled noodles.
You can also pull the two together
Thickness is up to you.
After boiling, it will become a little thicker.
Drop the noodles in the boiling water.
5-6 noodles are enough for one serving.
After the last one is in the pot, boil the noodles for one minute.
Out of the pot.
Drop in cold water.
After coming out, look at the surface.
It is shining and very smooth.
Heat up the oil.
Fry onions and garlic.
Put tomatoes.
Tomatoes are lack in flavour in winter time.
Add a spoon of tomato paste.
A teaspoon of soy sauce.
Cumin and coriander seeds.
Stir-fried tomatoes until soft.
Add eggs, celery and green peppers.
Then add noodles.
Now you see the noodles are all coated with the flavour of the vegetables.
At the end, add one spoonful of oil and a pinch of salt.
This used to be the bowl of noodles in front of my school.
I had it for so many time as lunch, dinner.
Now this is a bowl of noodles for my kids after school.
No green peppers, just use tomatoes and eggs. They all like it.
Thank you for watching. This is Xiaogaojie, See you next time ^^
