in Off Topic

In Hong Kong, noodles are shaped by hand and before you!
Remember that if the Italians are strong "promoters", it is the Chinese who invented pasta.
 
This explains HOW SPAGHETTI is made by HAND? SPECTACULAR !!!

    That's impressive! 

    I've just started making my own pasta in the last couple of weeks.   I'll won't be going back to store bought.   So easy and so much better.

    I make my own noodles, but use a Kitchenaid and its not near as much fun to watch.  That was cool!

    I'm still confused how it kept getting smaller and smaller and doubling and doubling. I even thought maybe it was photo shopped by a very talented person. OTOH was there anything said in Spanish which I muted that revealed his magical transformation?

    This site is getting so expensive.  What the hell does a Chinese noodle cook go for now?

    The title translates to handmade noodles in a Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong

    Huh? Why plant spaghetti trees? Won't money trees grow down there in your climate??? Those money trees cut out dealing with those Italian spaghetti middle men. BTW I highly recommend the Benjamin money tree species.

    @RRP each time he pulls and then folds, the noodles stretch to become thinner and longer. The dough has high ductility in a sense- it can be stretched until it becomes thinner and thinner without breaking.
