Ingredients

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.
