Method
Noodle Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with salt. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands until a rough dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long, thin noodle using a rolling pin or your hands. Aim for a width of about 1/4 inch.
Spicy Lamb Sauce Preparation
Cook the Lamb
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground lamb. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add Aromatics
Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Season the Meat
Add soy sauce, spicy chili oil, and Szechuan peppercorns to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the Sauce
Pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir in chopped green onions before removing from heat.
Assembly
Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the freshly made noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine Noodles and Sauce
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the spicy lamb sauce, tossing to coat the noodles evenly.
