How To Make Hand-Pulled Noodles: Part 1 of 2, Kneading

MrBEIJINGJACK Says:

Feb 1, 2011 - @joufu10 I REALLY appreciate your response---I understand what your saying about gluten. I used the SAME exact products and same exact measurements by weight and kneaded the living hell out of it. Can I ask you if YOU were successful at this? NONE of the people who responded here have claimed to actually have done it---check em out----and even though I respect your comment that it is the Gluten I don't believe it.....If it were true...there would be no reason to apply baking soda....

Feb 1, 2011 - @joufu10 I will say it again....IF anyone can make a video showing the making of the dough and then stretching it----using this recipe---I'll eat alllllllllllllllllll my words with the noodles....Believe me...NO one wants this to work more than I do as I prepare traditional Chinese noodle dishes TO DIE FOR at home---unfortunately I settled for a good Italian dough recipe as I won't put "dodgy" chemicals into my food for my friends or family to eat...

Feb 7, 2011 - thanks for all your hard work. I grew up with hand pulled noodles here in australia & we found that we could only use white wings flour because of it gluten level... we also never used lye water or baking soda

andyandtaya Says:

Feb 7, 2011 - ...also, our recipe is almost identical to yours but without the lye water. Though i'm not too sure about the measurements cause we never used them, we just went by looks and taste

Feb 25, 2011 - i too do not believe the dough got that stretchy without adding some kind of alkaline/basic ingredients i.e. kansui, peng hui, etc. i too have tried this recipe with exact weight and kneaded for 2 hr. never once did it even feel like it was stretchy enough. although if pulled out in a diff manner still makes for good homemade noodles. i'm chinese and know from parents and grandparents all you need for tasty noodles is water and flour. baking soda doesn't make it that elasticity,

MrBEIJINGJACK Says:

Feb 25, 2011 - ---THANK YOU for agreeing with me....It just does NOT work---it is just this "geeks" idea of a bad joke to get people to try and try again with something that can not work. I am not Chinese but speak Chinese and lived in Beijing for many years---and unfortunately it does seem that recipes really don't work without the PengHui------Hao Hao XueXi----TianTian----EAT NOODLES--- :) Cheers...

Mar 18, 2011 - I have tried. This guy's info is not totally fake but he sucks. His receipt is not good at all. May be this is why he tried over 40 times before success. I believe that lye is not a must but it is a great help.Baking soda can do the job but is more difficult. The correct mix of general purpose flour and cake flour ensure the gluten level and baking soda make the correct PH level. Suggest you guys find receipts from somebody else.

Aug 29, 2011 - This guy here is a f*cking idiot. He teach you how to knead and pull but don't teach you how to mix the dough. I'm guessing he pulled his dough out of his A-hole.

swadlol Says:

Feb 15, 2012 - i used about 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. I mixed it in a food processor and added more flour little by little until it stopped sticking to my hands when trying to pull it out.
