Notes on Noodles

a) What kind of noodles? Northern China favors wheat noodles; whereas down here in the south, rice noodles are the default. That said, I can buy both. Other grains (or starches) are also used, but to a lesser degree.

b) Where to eat them? The vast majority of noodle dishes are eaten outide the home. You are never far from a cheap, friendly noodle shop. Their noodle dishes are usually excellent. Bad ones don't last! People here are fussy about their noodles! Here are a few of the thousands around town.

   Another reason to eat them out is that some dishes take hours to cook which is only worth doing large-scale. The local favourite in this city is 螺蛳粉 (luó sī fěn), the broth for which takes at least 10 - 16 hours to prepare. No one makes this at home!

c) What dishes? Impossible to answer. Almost every town or city has at least one local specialty.

d) How to cook them? It seems to me that soupy noodles are the No. 1 choice most places, but fried noodles are also available.
