Add the flour to a large bowl, then pour in the water and salt mixture ¼ cup at a time, stirring to incorporate.
Once all the water has been added, knead the dough for 2 minutes.
Place the ball of dough in a glass bowl and cover it with saran wrap.
Let the dough sit for 20 minutes, then knead again for 2 minutes.
Divide the dough in ½ and roll each ½ into an oval that is ¼-inch thick and about 10 inches long.
Brush the ovals generously with the oil and cover them with a damp dishcloth, leaving them to sit for 2 hours.
Position the ovals horizontally in front of you and cut them into 1 ½-inch thick strips.
Pick up one of the strips holding an end in each hand and stretch it to arm's length, gently bouncing it on the work surface a couple of times in between. Repeat with all the strips.
Set a pot of water to boil, then drop ½ of the noodles into the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
Drain and set them aside while you cook the second batch.
