Hand-rolled noodles

　　Hand-rolled noodles are a common home-cooked dish in Qingyang. The dough preparation is quite particular: mix the flour with salted water, knead it into a dough ball or crumbly texture, then let it rest to ferment. Roll the dough out to about 1 cm thick using a rolling pin, cut it into thin strips with a knife, and then hand-roll each strip into long noodles. Boil them in water, scoop them into a bowl, and serve with a prepared fresh broth, or enjoy them dry with seasonings.
