Perfect for adventurous foodies, this flavor-packed recipe ensures every bite brings a taste of culinary craftsmanship and vibrant Chinese-inspired flair.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 10 inches long, then flatten slightly with your fingers.
Brush the dough strips with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, cover with plastic wrap, and let them rest for an additional 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small pot over low heat, combine the Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili flakes, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Heat for 2-3 minutes until aromatic, then add soy sauce and rice vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat.
In a large, flat pot of boiling salted water, cook the bok choy for 1-2 minutes until just tender. Remove and set aside.
To hand-pull the noodles, take a dough strip and gently stretch it from the middle to both ends while lightly slapping it against the work surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until they float to the top and are fully cooked. Drain well.
Add the cubed tofu to the small pot with the chili and soy sauce mix. Heat together for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
To serve, divide the noodles into bowls. Top with tofu mixture, bok choy, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped coriander leaves. Drizzle with additional sauce if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and aromatic Vegan Biang Biang Noodles.
