Teach you how to make delicious and healthy Shanxi Pian'er noodles at home! First, the first step is to mix the dough with the shaved noodles.

This first step is very particular and rigorous.

Generally speaking, it is the ratio of 1 pound of flour to 3 ounces of water.

First, slowly add water to the flour, and stir the flour into ears with your hands or chopsticks.

The goal is to get the flour to not be too soft, but to have enough contact with the water to knead it into a dough.
