La Mian - The Ancient Art of Chinese Noodle Making
By Twisted Sifter on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 filed under ART & DESIGN VIDEOS.
La Mian is a type of handmade or hand-pulled Chinese noodle. Through a process of stretching and twisting wheat flour, noodle makers can hand pull hundreds, even thousands of beautiful long thin noodles for a variety of dishes. The process is simple enough, but when you see a master noodle maker perform, one truly appreciates the art and beauty of cooking.
