hand-pulled noodles
Manually elongated pasta
Hand-pulled noodles are a style of Chinese noodle made by repeatedly stretching and folding dough by hand until it forms long, elastic strands.
The technique requires skill—the dough is pulled, twisted, and doubled over many times to create noodles of varying thickness.
They appear in dishes like lanzhou beef noodle soup: We watched the chef make hand-pulled noodles at the table.
