Add 500g all-purpose flour and 5g salt to a mixing bowl, then pour in 450g of boiling water.

Immediately stir with chopsticks to form loose flour flakes.

Let it cool slightly, then knead by hand into a smooth and elastic dough.

Divide the dough into 60g portions, roll each into a ball, lightly coat the surface with a thin layer of oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
