LAN makes traditional hand-pulled noodles in an open kitchen. You can see the chefs doing their craft.
9 different types of noodles:
thick round, thin round, thinnest round, wide flat, thiner flat, chives levess flat, trinagle shaped noodles and more.
Each bowl comes with slices of beef, daikon radish, chile oil, scallions, and cilantro.
The broth is similar to pho. Slow simmered with beef and chicken bones, 28 herbs and spices.
In the city of Lanzhou, with 3 million people, this noodle soup is a daily life staple, sold on every street corner.
