Noodle Maker at Yangquan

The noodle maker makes noodles on the street for sale at the street stall.

He is very skilled. A dough is formed by mixing flour with warm water. Then the dough is kneaded on a floured board, then rolled and twisted in the air by those able to do this, which further kneads the dough making it more pliable and soft.

When soft,  a small piece is broken off, and hand shredded, whilst being rolled in flour, to make the serving of noodles.

This is immediately put into boiling water and cooked in a few minutes.

Dough not being cooked immediately, is stored in serving portions in plastic bags in the fridge until required.
