CHINESE NOODLE TRIVIA & FACTS
Chinese Wheat Flour Noodles.
Made with wheat flour and water, these are the oldest form of noodles. In northern China, where they originated, and in select restaurants around the world, they are still made by hand with a soft dough, resulting in a silky texture. Wheat-flour noodles are mainly available dried in Asian markets. They vary in thickness and may be round or flat. The thinnest (Amoy style or Chinese somen) are used in refined soups, whereas the thicker varieties stand up to heartier soups and casseroles.
