Pulled noodles

There is a lot of delish-ers (delicious) dishes we enjoy here, that you can't find at Chinese restaurants in America.

One of them is 兰州拉面 (Lan Zhou La Mian, pronounced kinda like Lawn Joe La Me-An) which are noodles made by one of China's minorities (they have 56 people groups in this country).

The noodles are made fresh at the restaurant, thrown into a hot beef broth, and topped with onion, cilantro in some places, soy sauce and chili pepper - though the last two you add yourself to your preference.  They definitely help you warm up on a cold day.

Also, they come with the free entertainment of watching the guys make the noodles.  It's pretty amazing.  In fact I want to learn how to do it.  Forget about pasta makers.

Here are a couple of videos showing how it's done.  I didn't feel like editing them, so hopefully you can tell what's going on.  1st video- stretching out the dough, prepping it for making it into noodles.  2nd video - using his fingers to separate the dough and make noodles.
