Shanxi Hand Cut Noodles

We had about half an hour to grab some lunch before we had to get on our train. Nick told me that Shanxi was famous for its hand cut noodles. It was a little bit of a chilly day, and I thought warm noodles sounded great. We didn't have to walk very far to find a place that was serving them.



In the video you can see how the noodles are made. They have a big block of the dough and then the machine cuts off strips and flings them into water to cook. They are then served in a beef or pork broth with a few vegetables. We thought it was great that the machine cutting the noodles was done up to look like a robot.

Here they are before I dug in:

They were delicious! The best part is that when we got home, Nick talked to a coworker from Shanxi and he told us about a great restaurant where we can get authentic hand cut noodles that is close to our house! We have already checked it out, and will definitely be going back.
