the art of the noodle
A staple in Asian cuisine for 2000 years, noodles appear in soups, appetizers, and entrees. They arrive early for breakfast, sticking around for lunch and dinner, and then complete the day by winding down as a late night snack. Typically, noodles are made from rice, bean, or wheat flour with water, egg, and salt as binders.
China is the first country in recorded history to make and serve a noodle. Since then, noodles have become symbolic of longevity, because of their length when uncut. By eating the noodles, it is believed that a long life will be achieved and therefore are an indispensable tradition at Chinese celebrations.
Creating noodles takes skill and precision. After the dough is made, it is kneaded, twisted, stretched, and bounced in a rhythmic manner. It becomes very long. Because the dough is strong and yet malleable, it begins to form many long strings, which are the beginnings of the noodle. Pulling them apart and repeating creates even thinner noodles. When the noodles are at the desired shape, they are cut to the size of what is served on our plates, and placed in boiling water or broth.
