From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...These noodles are to Shanghai what ramen is to Japan or college campuses. They are simple and soothing, but they are not as readily available as ramen in the United States. The noodles are a case of "once bitten." They really are addictive, but not all Chinese restaurants have them on the menu and if you develop a taste for them, chances are you'll have to make them for yourself. Fortunately, they are very easy to make and can be assembled with ingredients that are available in any supermarket. The noodles pack no heat, so they are great for people who do not have adventurous appetites. Here is what I had to say about them and the Chinese earthquake in 2008.
