Wide Knife-Cut Noodles (Sun-Dried Dao Xiao Mian)

Product Description

Staff CommentsThese wide knife-cut noodles are a labor of love, with a meticulous process that results in a unique texture and chew. Whether in soups, stir-fries, or sauced dishes, the irregular edges and dual-texture mouth-feel make them a standout choice for noodle lovers seeking something special.

These Wide Knife-Cut Noodles (Sun-Dried Dao Xiao Mian) are a specialty originating from Shanxi Province and are beloved across north and west China. Crafted by a specialty noodle company in Chengdu, these ruffled wheat noodles are made with only wheat, water, and salt - no artificial dyes or preservatives.

Featuring a premium, super-high-gluten flour (15.6%), these noodles offer a satisfying body and chew. The dough undergoes a meticulous six-step process that replicates manual kneading, with natural proofing three times to ensure a fine gluten structure. Sun-dried for eight hours, these noodles offer a unique texture that sets them apart from other "wavy" noodles.

With their irregular edges, these noodles provide a dual-texture mouthfeel - soft outer-edge ruffles and a chewier inner section. Traditionally found in Shanxi restaurants, dao xiao noodle masters expertly slice or shave strips of dough directly into boiling water.

Whether enjoyed in soups, as "dry" sauced noodles, or stir-fried chao mian, these wide dao xiao mian noodles offer a chewy bite and ragged edges that hold onto sauce. Each hand-formed bundle weighs approximately 70 grams, making it a hearty serving for one.

Ideal for mixing and matching with your favorite toppings and cooking styles, these noodles are a versatile addition to your pantry. Each pack contains 16 ounces (450 grams) with 6 bundles, each weighing around 75 grams. Made with wheat flour, water, and salt, these noodles are non-GMO and vegan-friendly.
