Take a piece of dough shaped into a slab and roll it flat, not too flat, just even it out.

Turn the rolled dough horizontally and indent it.

Take the two ends of the dough and pull them gently, then slap the dough up and down to stretch it.

Rip the dough apart in the middle like string cheese.

Place the ripped noodles into boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.

Prepare aromatics by adding green onion and freshly ground red pepper on top of the noodles.

Add crushed garlic on top of the noodles.

Heat vegetable oil and pour it over the aromatics to sear the spices and make them fragrant.

Mix everything together and plate the dish.
