Step 1
Mix flour with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt until a soft, shaggy dough forms. Let sit 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground lamb, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in tomato paste, cumin, chili flakes, and vinegar. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Push lamb to the side.
Step 4
Slice bell pepper into 1/4-inch strips. Add to the pan with the lamb and cook until edges soften, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Boil water in a separate pot. Stretch and tear dough pieces over the boiling water, then stir until noodles float and cook 2 minutes more. Drain.
Step 6
Toss noodles into the skillet with lamb and peppers. Stir until coated. Top with scallions and serve hot.
