Method
Noodle Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands until the dough comes together.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Roll the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1/4 inch wide noodles.
Spicy Lamb Sauce Preparation
Cook the Lamb
In a large skillet, heat chili oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Ground Lamb
Add ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the Sauce
Stir in soy sauce, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Assembly
Cook the Noodles
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles for about 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine Noodles and Sauce
In a large bowl, mix the cooked noodles with the spicy lamb sauce until well combined.
Garnish and Serve
Top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Serve immediately.
