Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix well the dry ingredients. Pour in the water.

* Step 2

Knead the dough until it feels soft. Coat the dough with oil.

* Step 3

Put the dough in a bowl then cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

* Step 4

Leave the dough in room temperature for 4 to 6 hours or put it in the fridge overnight.

* Step 5

In the morning, take out the dough and let it sit on the counter (wrapped) for 1 – 2 hours until the dough is back to room temperature and VERY soft to the touch. This step is very important because when the dough is not in room temperature, it won't fry up properly.

* Step 6

Gently flip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle very lightly flour the top side of the dough also.

* Step 7

Roll out the dough to get about 1/4 in thick (about 4 in wide). Cut the the dough into 1 x 4 in strips (try to cut an even number of strips). Dip a chopstick in the water then press the center of one strip lengthwise. Put another strip on top of it then press the center (lengthwise) with a chopstick.
