Ingredients

🌾300g strong flour and 160ml water with a pinch of salt

🌶️2 tbsp coarse chilli flakes

🧄4 cloves garlic, minced

🌿Spring onions, chopped

🫙2 tbsp black vinegar and 2 tbsp soy sauce

🥬A few leaves of bok choy, blanched

Method

Serves 2

Knead the flour, water and salt into a smooth dough, divide into strips, oil them and rest for at least 2 hours.

Flatten each strip, then stretch and slap it on the counter into a long, wide belt.

Boil for 1–2 minutes until they float and are chewy.

Place in bowls with the bok choy, vinegar and soy sauce, and pile chilli, garlic and spring onion on top.

Pour the smoking hot oil over the top so it sizzles, then toss and eat.
