Biang Biang Noodles

Dinner decisions, handled: Biang Biang Noodles pairs all-purpose flour with hot chili flakes for a 60-minute Chinese lunch. Each serving lands at 377 calories with 12g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Hot chili flakes
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Black vinegar
• 0.5 lb Bok choy
• 0.25 cup Hot oil
• 3 Scallions
• 1 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Mix the flour, 1 cup of water, and salt into a shaggy dough; knead 8 minutes until smooth. Rest covered 1 hour — rested dough stretches instead of snapping.
2. Divide into 8 pieces, roll each into a rope, and oil lightly. Rest 15 minutes more.
3. Slap each rope against the counter while pulling it longer and wider — the biang is the sound the dough makes when it hits. Tear a slit down the middle for the classic belt shape.
4. Boil 2 minutes until they float and turn chewy. Blanch the bok choy alongside.
5. Divide among bowls and top with chili flakes, minced garlic, and scallions. Pour the smoking-hot oil over the aromatics so they sizzle, then toss with soy and vinegar.
