Hangzhou Pork Noodles

There are not enough words to do justice to the beauty of Hangzhou today, with its famous West Lake. Marco Polo was said to have likened Hangzhou to Venice, and some claim he took Hangzhou noodles west, though Italian culinary academics refute this. There are many brands of dry wheat noodles; choose one that is close to spaghetti in thickness for an authentic dish. Follow the packet instructions on how to rehydrate them.
