The noodles are pulled and stretched by hand to order — no two bowls are pulled to exactly the same width, which locals consider character, not a flaw.
Hand-pulled wide wheat noodles are served in a rich lamb or mutton broth, topped with pickled vegetables, cilantro, and chili oil.
Why it's made this way: The dish's status as one of China's "Ten Famous Noodle Dishes" reflects Henan's central-plains wheat-farming identity.
