One serving has 694 kcal and 18 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of thiamin (100%), selenium (97%), vitamin K (96%), manganese (78%), niacin (77%) and riboflavin (72%). Ready in 40 minutes.
- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (300 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, soy, sulphite
Ingredients
- 130 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 60 g Water
- 2 g Salt
- 20 g Vegetable oil
- 5 g Chilies, dried red
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 10 g Scallions, raw
- 10 g Soy sauce
- 5 g Vinegar, balsamic
- 50 g Bok choy, raw
Method
- Mix the flour with the water and half the salt into a rough dough, knead for 5 minutes until smooth, rub the surface with a little of the oil, cover, and rest for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Divide the dough into two portions and roll each into a thick strip, brushing with more oil; rest a further 10 minutes if time allows, for easier stretching.
- Holding each strip by both ends, slap and stretch it against the counter until long and wide like a belt, then tear a line down the centre lengthwise, leaving the ends intact, to open it into one long wide noodle.
- Boil the noodles in plenty of water for 3-4 minutes, adding the bok choy for the last minute, then drain and pile into a bowl.
- Top the noodles with the garlic, chilies, remaining salt and scallion, then heat the remaining oil until just smoking and pour it over the toppings so it sizzles.
- Drizzle with the soy sauce and black vinegar, toss everything together, and serve immediately.
