With a rolling pin, flatten out the dough into a square shape of 11 in. wide. Dust both sides with potato starch or flour.

step 6:

Hold the far side and fold it over 1/4. Hold the opposite side and fold it over 1/4.

step 7:

Then fold in half.

Cut into 1/8 in. strips. Refer to “How to boil thick white noodles” for boiling details.
