Chow Mein

Noodles, in addition to rice, are an important part of Chinese cuisine. The name chow mein comes from the Mandarin pronunciation Chao main, which meaning “fried noodles” in Chinese cuisine. When noodles are cooked and dripping with oil, they are at their finest. Fortunately for us, this appears to be a common occurrence across China, particularly in the northern regions, where oil is sprayed everywhere like it’s no big deal. Doesn’t it sound delicious? It is, after all!

Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Beef Noodles

While we’re on the subject of noodles, hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles are a popular dish in China. These traditions originated in Lanzhou, a city in western China, and have since expanded across the country, notably among Muslim populations. Fresh noodles are served with soft, thin chunks of meat and veggies in a boiling hot soup. This meal is simple to prepare, fragrant, and delectable! Visitors outside China who wish to eat Lanzhou noodles should seek Muslim restaurants or a Muslim neighborhood in one of the country’s largest cities. Even if you don’t know a word of Mandarin, ordering these noodles is straightforward since restaurants that serve them typically display huge photographs of the meals on the menu or even on the wall.
