Do you make your own hand-pulled noodles?

[*crikey*mate*]

I prefer fresh pasta over the dehydrated hard stuff in the stores, so usually make my own, but I've never known how to make round noodles such as Hokkein, and the store bought ones are pretty blah

I saw it on you tube and thought I'd have a go.

It's pretty tricky. I can get in four pulls, sometimes 5, but still haven't managed to pull it the required 6 times without it snapping.

Anyone else make thier own hand-pulled noodles?

No, I buy the fresh stuff from the fridge.

a Hokkein noodle is 7mm diameter.

And if you work too slowly, it heats up the dough causing it to snap prematurely.

Well I guess the stumps can be fashioned into Ravioli so its not a total waste:)

I can honestly say that I have never in my whole life pulled a noodle ...

Tas I am told that it can be quite messy should there be a severance in twain of the said object

Can I ask.... how come my post was edited? I do buy them fresh from the fridge, never buy the dry ones.

That's strange, my post was 'edited' but nothing was changed ...
