History, tradition and origin

Noodles have been made in China for at least two thousand years, and long noodles are eaten on birthdays as a wish for long life. Wheat noodles belong to the north and rice noodles to the south. Spicy noodles sold by street carriers come from Sichuan, wide stir-fried rice noodles from Guangdong, and soft tossed noodles became a takeaway standard abroad.

Food economy and industry

Noodle making ranges from hand-pulling in small shops to factories producing dried and instant noodles by the billion. Wheat is China's second grain after rice, grown mostly on the northern plains. Noodle shops need little space or equipment, which makes them one of the most common small food businesses in Chinese cities.
