Sujebi Korean Hand-torn Noodles
  1. Mix 1²/₃ cups (208 g; or more) all-purpose flour, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 2 tsp. vegetable oil in a large bowl.

  2. Gradually drizzle in ⅓ cup plus 1 Tbsp. (104 g) water, mixing with your hand like a claw until dough comes together and forms a ball (it will be shaggy and sticky; but don’t worry, it will get smoother when you knead it).

  3. If dough feels too dry, add more water, 1 Tbsp. at a time; if it feels too wet, add more flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time.

  4. Knead dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is taut with a smooth skin, 8–10 minutes.

  5. Wrap dough in plastic or place in a resealable plastic bag and close. Let rest at room temperature 15 minutes if using right away.

  6. To use dough in a soup: Unwrap and divide into 2 or 3 manageable pieces.

  7. Hold 1 piece of dough in your hand and stretch off a small piece with your other hand until thin and 1"–2"-long (the thickness doesn’t need to be perfectly consistent).

  8. Tear piece off and lay gently in a pot of simmering soup of your choice over medium-low heat.

  9. Continue with remaining dough, working as quickly as you can.

  10. Give sujebi a gentle stir and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (if you try one, there should be no floury taste), about 5 minutes.

  11. Do ahead: Dough can be made 12 hours ahead. Chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
