- 200ml (7floz) peanut oil
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons chili flakes

- 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 3 green shallots, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 3 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 100g (3.5oz) pork mince (optional)
- ½ cup noodle cooking water
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, and salt. Mix until the dough becomes shaggy in texture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Shape and rest the dough.
- Step 2: Make the Chili Oil Sauce
Combine ingredients in a saucepan, heat until aromatic. Cook pork mince if using. Set sauce aside.
- Step 3: Prepare the Noodles
Roll dough into sheets and create a depression for stretching.

Stretch the dough into long, thin ribbons.
- Step 5: Cook the Noodles
Boil water, cook noodles briefly, then transfer to a bowl.
- Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Notes
- Rest the Dough: The longer the dough rests, the easier it will be to stretch.
- Oil Generously: Grease your surface, hands, and rolling pin to prevent sticking.
- Don’t Rush the Pull: Gentle, steady pulling yields long, even noodles.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your chili flakes, garlic, and soy sauce significantly impacts the flavor of the sauce.
