The Noodle Dish That Built Wuhan

Before it became known as ground zero of a deadly coronavirus outbreak, Wuhan was the breakfast capital of China. The city is famous for its morning street stalls selling rice donuts, dumplings, and bean pies.

But the most famous dish is hot dry noodles, a hearty bowl of noodles topped with spicy sesame sauce. We met Daxiong, a Wuhan native who runs a noodle shop in New York, to learn how it’s made.

It is sad that business is going to take a big hit over covid19 but it will work out eventually. Love to Chinese people. Stay strong.

Regamian was one of my favourite things to have for breakfast whilst I lived in this beautiful city.

This video brought back so many memories. Hot dry noodles are the best!

I still crave Wuhan breakfasts. And I can never replicate this dish. :(

can we get the address of the noodle shop in queens? if you interview small business owners and their foods why not help them by telling people where they are located so we can try it. This doesn't help the community grow when you could help these pioneers out in a big way.

Hope the vibrancy and normal days return soon to everyone 🙏

[Bombogor]

what happened to yelling cook ? I hope he is alive ( most of his videos are deleted)

stop giving english name translation to chinese food, you tiao is you tiao, not fried dough sticks, you don't see mexican food being renamed as the english translation. Same reasoning like calling kebabs as kebabs and not meat on skewers

[바보Queen]

didn't show enough of the food.. too much other stuff

Love my chinese friends and wish for more of them to adopt a vegan diet (as I do for all cultures) - 7 billion people wanting to eat the animals we ‘share’ the planet with every day is unhealthy, inhumane, and unsustainable.
