1. Save some flour at the side.
2. First, use your hands to spread the flour until it is loose. Let it contain some air. This helps the flour absorb water.
3. Shake loose the flour.
4. Keep stirring clockwise and add water slowly.
5. Squeeze the dough to feel its consistency.
6. Knead the dough until it feels very soft like a soft marshmallow.
7. Clean your hand and the container otherwise the dough can stick to it.
8. Add a little water.
9. Throw it a few times. This will help the dough to rise.
10. Keeping kneading until the dough is spotless, the container is empty, and your hands are clean.
11. Splash a little water on the top of the dough.
12. Leave the dough to rise for 20 minutes.
13. Meanwhile you can prepare some vegetables to go with the noodles.
14. After 20 minutes, knead the dough again for a little bit.
15. The dough must be kneaded 3 times in order to be shiny and al dente.
16. Sprinkle a little flour once a while.
17. Leave it for another 5 minutes.
18. Meanwhile you can wash your vegetables.
19. Knead the dough again. This time is the 3rd time.
20. Knead until you hear the bursting sound of little air bubbles. This way the dough is ready and the texture is al dente when we pull it.
21. Push out the little air bubbles inside.
22. The dough needs to be kneaded until the small air bubbles come out. Then it will be ready.
23. First you tap the cucumber before you cut it so that it will absorb more flavor.
24. Turn on the stove and start boiling the vegetables.
25. Start with the chicory.
26. Just put the chicory into the boiling water for a very short time, and a little salt, and it's done. Don't boiled it for too long because it won't be crips.
