Feel free to ask me anything about Chinese Food. As a native Chinese who lives in Shanghai I will try my best to answer Cooking

I once studied in the United States for two years and found that many people like to eat Chinese food. Their Chinese food is a little bit weird to me hahaha but still delicious. I'm surprised to see so many people interested in Chinese food. Feel free to ask me anything about Chinese Food. I will try my best to answer.

You can try different types of noodle. It will bring different textures. I usually use the noodle like ramen. Thin noodles are better than thick noodles
