In a large bowl, combine 300 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Slowly mix in 175 milliliters of water until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a long strip about the size of your palm.
Generously brush vegetable oil on each strip and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for another 30 minutes.
For the sauce, finely mince 3 garlic cloves and thinly slice 4 spring onions. Set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Carefully pour it over 1 teaspoon of ground Sichuan peppercorns and 2 tablespoons of chili flakes in a heatproof bowl. Let steep.
Combine the oil mixture with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy-free fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of black vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Boil a pot of water. Take each dough strip and stretch it from the ends until thin, creating the traditional 'belt' noodle shape.
Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until chewy yet firm. Drain and rinse under cold water. Divide noodles into serving bowls.
Top noodles with prepared garlic, spring onions, and the spicy sauce. Garnish with julienned cucumber for freshness.
Serve immediately, mixing the noodles thoroughly with the sauce before eating.
