Description
Chinese hand-pulled noodles (la mian) — the foundation of the longevity noodle tradition — require a dough with extremely well-developed gluten (from extended kneading and resting) that can be stretched and folded repeatedly until the noodles are pulled to the desired thickness. The pulling process aligns the gluten network into long, parallel strands that produce the characteristic chew of pulled noodles — different from extruded or rolled noodles.
