What to Cook This Week

Noodles or rice? Homemade hand pulled noodles, saucy noodles and quick rice bowls.

I’ve always been a rice person but last month I started experimenting with making hand pulled noodles and now I get why people love noodles. Every time I do a poll on team rice or team noodles, it’s usually 50/50 and I always thought that was crazy, how can you choose noodles over rice?? But I get it now, especially when you have super thick, bouncy chewy homemade noodles.

Hand Pulled Noodles: I’ve tested this hand-pulled noodle recipe multiple times to perfect it for home cooks. After extensive trials with different flours, hydration levels, and resting times, I’m confident that if you follow this recipe closely, you’ll be able to make thick, chewy noodles just like the ones from your favorite noodle spot.
