Put the dough on a board and, with 2 hands, knead the dough for 15 to 20 minutes, stretching the dough into a rope, and using both hands, swinging it until it stretches. Divide the dough into 5 lumps of dough. Using some dry flour, double it up again and again, spinning it, until it turns into a set of noodles. Set aside.
