Product Description

Staff CommentsThese Knife-Cut Noodles are truly a labor of love, with a detailed process that ensures a unique texture and flavor. The ruffled edges create a dual-texture experience, making them perfect for a variety of dishes from soups to stir-fries.

Knife-Cut Noodles (Sun-Dried Dao Xiao Mian) are a traditional delicacy hailing from Shanxi Province but beloved throughout northern and western China. Crafted by a specialty noodle company in Chengdu, these ruffled wheat noodles are meticulously made with only wheat, water, and salt - no artificial colors or preservatives here.

What sets these dao xiao mian apart is the use of premium, super-high-gluten flour (15.6%) that ensures a satisfyingly chewy texture. The dough undergoes a six-step process mimicking manual kneading and is proofed three times to create a fine gluten structure. Sun-dried for eight hours, these noodles offer a unique texture with soft outer-edge ruffles and a chewier inner section.

In Shanxi restaurants, noodle masters expertly slice or shave these noodles directly into boiling water at a rapid pace. Widely enjoyed across northwest China, these noodles are perfect for soups, dry sauced dishes, or stir-fries. Each bundle weighs around 70 grams, providing a hearty serving for one.

Whether you enjoy them in a soup or stir-fry, these wide dao xiao mian noodles are a versatile choice for any wheat noodle dish. Embrace the dual-texture mouth-feel of these hand-formed noodles that are sure to elevate your culinary experience.
