Made from Scratch
The Art of the Pull
At Le Mien, we preserve the traditional Lanzhou craft. Each bowl of noodles begins as a simple dough of high-gluten wheat and water. In our open kitchen, our noodle master transforms this dough into thin, uniform strands in a matter of seconds.
01
Kneading & Rest
Dough is worked until smooth, then rested to build optimal elasticity.
02
Twisting & Rolling
The dough is rolled out and twisted into thick, strong cylinders.
03
The Stretch
Repeatedly stretching and folding the dough to align gluten networks.
04
The Final Pull
The chef pulls, shakes, and separates the dough into perfect, long strands.
05
Flash Boiling
Cooked instantly in boiling water to lock in a chewy, "Q-bounce" texture.
