So here's a new one - recently went to this popular noodle shop up north - have had many Chinese noodles but never Xi'an cuisine and didn't know it existed until then. Please don't yell at me, I promise I love southern food too, but I'd love to be able to get these noodles without flying somewhere or driving 10 hours.
Liang Pi Cold-Skin Noodles - I feel like someone somewhere in the Triangle has that on their menu
If no luck, I will learn to make them - probably very easy.
I've never seen this before, nor even heard of it. But I was fascinated and did some reading. Makes me want to drive to Flushing, NY (which is an amazing statement. I grew up in Great Neck, NY, and have vowed not return after my last visit in 1978).
In my searching, I came up with a couple of sites that might help you with the recreation experiments. I'm pretty sure Grand Asia has the gluten (in the same area as the tofu). They have a large variety of FRESH noodles on the wall farthest away from the door in a refrigerated case, though I don't know if they have wheat noodles. Having prepared many Asian noodle dishes, I can assure you that fresh noodles will be far better than dried noodles with this kind of dish.
Oh JK I could eat these noodles every day. Thanks for the info - I think I'm going to try and make them.
Have wanted to try them since Bourdain my fantasy boyfriend talked about the guy who started that restaurant. Yes funny how Flushing is now a food destination - who'd a thunk it (though I didn't go to that location - went to others) (yep went more than once). Anthony Bourdain Boosts Xi
I may get ambitious and try to make the actual noodles :-O
To make sure I stay local - a trip to Grand Asia is in order for this weekend (I live near the market in Durham but I like Grand Asia better) - and I'm going to continue to look them on the local menu.
If you haven't done so already I would head over to Fantacity International Shopping Center in Greensboro. Besides Super G Mart that puts Grand Asia and Li Ming's to shame, they have an awesome collection of Asian stores there. Perhaps one of them-- or Super G-- has what you are looking for.
I so badly want a Super G in the Triangle. When I went to Super G in Gboro I found rice wine vinegar that came in gallon jugs, the highly prized Red Boat brand of fish sauce, and large packages of lime leaves.
Looks good. BTW It's sad when you have to preempt the trolls on threads by apologizing for your own interests over and over. You don't need to eat a biscuit, use local foods, or like southern food. Get your xi'an on!!
To keep it local - nearly all ingredients easy to find at Grand Asia.
That looks amazing. What brand of noodles did you end up purchasing?
