Recipe
1
Combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and water to knead a firm, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2
Roll out the dough into a thin sheet, fold it gently, and slice it into thin noodles. Dust with a little flour to prevent sticking.
3
Heat mustard oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies until fragrant.
4
Add the sliced onions and mixed vegetables, stirring briskly for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.
5
Sprinkle in the Sichuan pepper powder and turmeric powder, stirring well to coat the vegetables in the aromatic spices.
6
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
7
In a separate pot, boil water and cook the homemade noodles until al dente, then drain them thoroughly.
8
Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls and ladle the piping hot, spiced vegetable broth directly over them.
9
Garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
