In this livestream I am only concerned with noodles used in Chinese takeaway and reasturants in the UK. That is NO.1 & NO.2
These noodles are made with a mixture of water and flour.
No.1 noodles are also known as “chop suey noodles” – Chinese translation mix water! Basically means it noodles used in takeaways.
They are thicker and take slightly longer to prepare, but their robust texture helps them maintain their shape and firmness even after cooking. This makes them ideal for takeaway meals that are stored in lidded containers, as the noodles stay springy and don’t become soggy easily.
No.2 noodles, referred to as “chow di mian” noodle base, are typically used in restaurants.
They are thinner and cook much faster, but are also more delicate—if soaked for too long, they can become mushy and disintegrate, making them unsuitable for stir-frying.
