CHINESE HAND PULLED NOODLE RECIPE
300g Cake flour
50g All Purpose flour
200g Water
15g Sesame oil
6g Salt
3g Baking soda
METHOD:
Place all ingredients into your Kitchen Aid mixing bowl. Put mixer on speed four
for about 12 minutes. Give the dough a test. It should be very stretchy and feel and have the

have to play with the time a little but the consistency should be the same. You can see this
in the video.
