Lamian

Noodle and Dumpling Dishes

Lamian is a soft, handmade Chinese wheat-flour noodle particularly common in northern China. It is made by twisting, stretching, and folding the dough into strands, letting the weight of the dough itself do much of the work, with the number of folds determining the thickness and length of the finished strands.
