Instructions
- 1
Whisk the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the boiling water and the neutral oil, then stir with a fork or chopsticks until shaggy. Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough in the bowl for 2–3 minutes until smooth and no longer sticky. Shape into a ball, cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
