What

Meet the four-door family sedan of the noodle world. These thin, pale, eggless strands are go-anywhere, do-anything noodles, blessed with an inbuilt toughness and a heart of gold. Available in dried and fresh form, they are usually sold dried, even in China. If they had one home, it would be northern China, where most of them end their days in a happy stir fry. Wheat noodles are also available flavoured with prawn or crab, which sounds like a bad idea. Far better to add your own fresh prawn or crab.
