A deceptively simple concoction with few ingredients, Chinese "la mian" (hand-pulled noodles) depend on the hands of a skilled noodle to bring everything together -- by pulling everything apart. The noodle-making process brings a natural rhythm to noodle shops like Manhattan Chinatown's Sheng Wang, punctuating the slurping of diners with the sounds of dough knocking against the table.
Visit Sheng Wang in at 27 Eldridge St in Manhattan.
