FAQS

  1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of regular flour for the noodles?

    Yes, you can use all-purpose flour for this recipe. It will work well for making hand-pulled noodles.

  2. How long should I let the dough rest?

    You should let the dough rest for at least 1 hour to allow the gluten to relax, making it easier to stretch.

  3. What can I substitute for sesame paste if I don't have it?

    If you don't have sesame paste, you can use tahini or even peanut butter as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different.

  4. How do I know when the noodles are cooked?

    The noodles are cooked when they float to the surface of the boiling water, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
