The art of hand pulled noodles...
I came across some YouTube videos of noodles made by hand. Two different styles were featured in the same video. One is a Chinese man who pulls them by hand and the other a Japanese man who slices them with a knife.For years, I grew up on Italian style spaghetti noodles that I knew were 'extruded' through machine with round holes. The fresh noodles were then hung to dry.
Noodles I buy from the Asian market also appear to be made by machine. They take flat sheets of dough and pass them through a conveyor with a series of knives that slice the dough into uniform strips.
As seen in the video, the Chinese guy not only makes an amazing display of his artistry, he has a flare about the showmanship. Watching the performance was very entertaining.
Very impressive... Peter Song:

When she said, she would make pasta, I expected that she would open a store bought box.
Nope. She hand made it, as I watched in amazement.
It was good.
The video impressed me, I love soba and now I will appreciate it a bit more remembering how it is made fresh. My daughter in law makes her own dumplings from flour. I hardly ever mess with flour myself.
Shopping at the Asian market on Sunday, we totally forgot to buy skins so my wife rolled them by hand.
Did you ever eat at Sweet Tomatoes?
They hand cut noodles for the chicken noodle soup.
What she made was very similar in texture and flavor.
Great video.
Lately I've been on a Pho kick. Can't get me enough of that Pho.
