Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodle soup

Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodle soup

4 hr (1 hr hands-on) · 4 bowls. Lanzhou's rule is one clear, two white, three red, four green: clear broth, white radish, red chili oil, green herbs. Hand-pulling takes practice; hand-cut noodles from the same dough work fine.
