Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for extra softness)
- Extra flour, for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour and salt.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring with a wooden spoon or chopsticks until a rough dough forms.
- When cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into small portions and shape them as desired — you can roll them into flat discs for dumplings, noodles, or flatbreads.
- Cook as needed:
- For dumplings, fill and steam, boil, or pan-fry.
- For flatbreads, cook on a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden spots appear.
- For noodles, roll thin, cut into strips, and boil in salted water for 2–3 minutes.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, soup, or filling!
If you’d like, I can adjust it for dumplings, noodles, or flatbread specifically — just say which one!
