Great writing, great subject. 💖 Funny story, before we went to Chengdu and Chongqing to try spicy noodles, we were watching a CCTV documentary interviewing small noodle shop owners. My young son, maybe 8 at the time, turns to me and says, "Seems like if you're having trouble in your life, just open a noodle shop!" 😂😂
Haha, that's quite funny — great observation about your son. I love watching those food documentaries and can definitely second that. Those noodle shop owners are always portrayed as so happy (I'm sure they love what they do!) and a bit romanticized.
Such a great article! Chinese Food Demystified made some similar points in their video but your research and history go even deeper. Love the vintage recipe. Wish I could post a picture of the amazing ranmian version we made last night thanks to your efforts 😁🔥
