Asian wheat noodles

Taste & Role
The body of zhajiang noodles and scallion-oil noodles.
What it is
Fresh Chinese wheat noodles (生面) cook in 2-3 minutes and have a chew that dried spaghetti cannot match. For noodle-sauce dishes like zhajiang mian, slightly undercook the noodles — they finish cooking when tossed with the hot sauce. Rinse in cold water only for cold dishes.
