Add 50 grams of water to the alkaline noodles and stir until it melts into alkaline water (the amount of water in the formula).
3.
Add the shredded old noodles to 300g of flour (reserve 50g of flour), slowly pour in water and stir until it is in shape.

Tips:
The steaming time is appropriately adjusted according to the size of the green body. After making the green dough, you can reserve a piece of dough for old noodles, store it in the refrigerator, and take it out before use and return to the temperature before use.
