Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare 500 grams of flour, 270 grams of water, 8 grams of baking powder, 4 grams of baking soda, one egg, 10 grams of salt, and 30 grams of salad oil

   

2. 2 Mix the flour, eggs, baking powder and baking soda, add the salt to the water and stir evenly. Knead the noodles with salt water. Remember, do not pour the salt water in all at once, but add it slowly, because different flours absorb water differently. The salad oil will be put in later. Save it for tying noodles at the back

   

3. 3 Knead the dough for 10 minutes

   

4. 4 After 10 minutes, it’s time to use the oil. Now start pricking the noodles with oil on your fists, pricking them repeatedly so that they won’t stick to your hands

   

5. 5 Now fold the dough pattern over and dip it in oil again to prick the dough. Repeat this folding and pricking process 4-5 times. The dough will be finished. The dough will be very soft after pricking it with oil.

   

6. 6 Arrange the dough into a strip. It is very soft but not sticky because of the added oil

   

7. 7 Wrap it in a plastic bag and fold in both ends to wrap tightly,

   

8. 8 This is how it looks after being wrapped. It needs to be refrigerated for about 7-8 hours. I usually make the noodles the night before and fry them the next day.

   

9. 9 This is what it looked like when I took it out of the refrigerator the next day. The dough looked swollen,

   

10. 10 Take out the dough, place it on a floured board and arrange it into a rectangular shape. Try to make it as flat as possible, with the same size from top to bottom, left and right,

    

11. 11 Divide the prepared dough into even pieces, about one and a half index fingers wide and one index finger long

    

12. 12 Then stack one small piece on top of another, and stack all the noodles to be fried in turn,

    

13. 13 Use a chopstick to press down from the middle of the noodles so that the two pieces of noodles can stick together and not fall apart when fried

    

14. 14 Press well, stretch the noodles and set aside

    

15. 15 Test the oil temperature. If you drop a piece of dough and it will float immediately, it proves that the oil temperature has reached the temperature. At this time, you can put the noodles in and fry. The oil temperature is about 200 degrees

    

16. 16 If the pot is small, in order to save oil, you can cut the fried dough sticks prepared above into two sections and fry them in the pot one by one. Use chopsticks to keep turning the dough sticks during frying to make the dough sticks evenly colored. You can control the oil temperature yourself, and it’s almost ready to be cooked
