How to make Uyghur noodle coil: Pil-te?(لەغمەن پىلتىسى تەييارلاش)
Pil-te, لەغمەن پىلتىسى is a traditional Uyghur technique of preparing a dough coil for hand-pulled noodle and other dishes. Making this even and smooth ‘‘dough coil’’ is an important step in making beautiful noodles.
INGREDIENTS
All purpose flour 250 gr
Cold (tap) water 110 ml
Two pinches of salt, 2 gr
Olive oil 50ml
🕙Time: approximate 30 min.
INSTRUCTION
Mix the ingredients (except the oil) in a mixing bowl, knead them to make a smooth dough (I made a blogpost about How to Make Dough) cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and set aside in room temperature, for 15- 20 min.
Lubricate a round and flat bottomed plate with a layer of oil.
When the dough is rested, press the dough with your palm, form it into a rectangle of approximately 3 to 4cm thickness.
Cut the dough into six even sections.
Lubricate your hands with thick layers of oil, and lubricate all sides of the dough in one pass. Don’t add any extra oil.
Grab/massage evenly to make strips, a little thicker than a thumb.
Roll each strip into a round, smooth and long rope. The thickness is a little thinner than an index finger.
8. Place the end of the rope on the centre of the oil lubricated plate to make a tight circular rope coil(see picture below). Continue with the next ropes to fill up the bottom of the plate, to make one big coil.
9. Lubricate all sides of the bottom coil with a layer of oil and continue to create a second circular rope coil upon the first layer. Its very important to lubricate every layer so they don’t stick to each other.
10. When you have coiled up al the dough, cover it with kitchen foil, so it doesn't dry out. Set aside for 15-20 min. after that it’s ready to make into
Lagman, Stir Fry Lagman or Flat lagman.
