My most viral video is my 10 minutes Spicy Garlic Noodles, and the most asked question is always where I buy my noodles? Today, I am going to share how to make Chinese Hand-pulled Noodles with only FOUR simple ingredients! These Chinese hand-pulled noodles are SUPER chewy and I promise will taste better than ANY store-bought noodles. Once you give these Chinese hand-pulled noodles a try, I promise your friends and family will be begging you to make them every single week (I know my fiance asked me every week)!

In a big bowl, add in flour and salt and mix. Pour in warm water, mix with chopstick till flakey. Knead until it forms into a ball, cover, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
After 10-15 minutes, knead until smooth (around 5-10 minutes); once it is smooth, Roll it out and cut into eight pieces. Roll each piece out. ** you can also use a standmixer to save time **
In a bowl, add in ¼ cup of oil. Add in all the pieces and coat with oil. Cover and let it rest for another 1 hour. ** the longer you rest, th easier it is to stretch out **
After 1 hour lightly roll out the dough. Make a dent in the middle. Slightly pull on both ends, and hit the dough against the countertop to stretch. Keep hitting until your desire thickness. Break it apart where you made a dent earlier to form into two long pieces of noodle.
Cook the noodle in hot water for 3-4 minutes, drain and enjoy!

Notes
I just re-did this recipe again, and also included it in GRAMS measurementfor the most exact fail-proof measurements.
if this is your first time making this, rest the noodles for 2 HOURSso it is easier to stretch out. or prepare it the night before.
It may seem intimidating at first to make Chinese Hand-pull Noodles at home, but trust me, after a few tries, you will become an expert! Plus, did I mention it is SUPER fun to make these noodles at home? If you are worried, I would recommend letting it rest in oil for an extra hour. The longer these rest in the oil, the softer the dough becomes, making it easier to stretch. You can even prepare these the night before up to step 3 and let them rest in the fridge till you are ready to eat the next day.
