In a large bowl, combine two packets plus 2 TBSP flour, 1⁄2 cup hot water, and 3⁄4 tsp salt. (For 4 servings, use four packets plus 4 TBSP flour, 1 cup hot water, and 11⁄2 tsp salt.) (You’ll use more flour later.) Using a wooden spoon, stir until combined. Let dough cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, knead dough in bowl by firmly pressing down and away, then folding dough over itself. Repeat, rotating 90 degrees after each fold, until dough is firm and can be rolled into a ball, 30-60 seconds.
Tightly cover bowl with plastic wrap; set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
