About

All noodle soups in China use fresh ingredients, and this desire for freshness might disturb Western sensibilities. Eels, for example, harvested from nearby rivers are kept alive at food stalls until ready for cooking. High in protein and inexpensive, eel adds a great deal to the humble noodle soups that the Chinese so love. This is my version of a dish I had at the Gui Yuan Guan restaurant in Hangzhou. If fresh eel is not available, use white fish fillets.
