[Sca-cooks] OOP: Shredded noodles

[Vincent Cuenca]

Here's one for the Chinese experts on the list:

I was watching "Iron Monkey" this morning (I admit it; I have a weakness for
Yuen Wo Ping's fight choreography), and I saw something interesting.  The
two main characters were cooking for each other, comparing Cantonese and
Chekiang techniques.  One character picked up a lump of dough and began
slicing off thin shreds with a cleaver, slinging them across the room and
into the water.  No doubt he was showing off a little, but is this an actual
noodle-making technique in northern China?  I was under the impression that
most noodles were either doubled and stretched or cut from rolled dough.

Just curious,

Vicente
