32. History of Lamian
Noodles have a very long history in
China where it is recorded histories
of noodles in China date back over
1900 years to the Eastern Han
Dynasty.
The modern Lanzhou variety of the
hand-pulled noodles and their
distinctive broth have developed as a
collective food habit of the minority
Hui Muslim people in north-western
China.
A young Hui man name Mao Baozi
was credited develop this dish when
he sold the hot soup noodles topped
with beef cubes at streets of Lanzhou
during the Qing Dynasty (1870-1955).
In 1919, Ma Baozi opened his first
restaurant in the city and lead to
eventual growth of thousands of beef
noodles restaurants in Lanzhou.
Due to Lamian dough is made by
hand, the process involved taking a
lump of dough and repeatedly
stretching it to produce many strands
of thin, long noodle.
There are several styles of twisting
the dough but they all employ the
same concept:
 A piece of dough is repeatedly stretched
and folded onto itself in order to align the
glutens and warm up the dough for
stretching.
 Then it is rolled out to a workable
thickness and cut into workable portions.
The end pieces of the starting dough are
never used because the glutens are not as
aligned as the middle pieces.
 This dough is then pulled to about an arm
span's length. The puller then makes a
loop with the dough, joining the two ends
into one clump of dough, and inserts his
fingers into the loop to keep the strand
from sticking to itself.
 This process is repeated several times until
the desired thickness and quantity is
achieved.
