Lamian is a traditional Chinese noodle dish known for its hand-pulled noodles. The name "lamian" translates to "pulled noodles," which refers to the technique used to create the noodles by stretching and folding the dough repeatedly. This method results in long, chewy strands that are often served in a flavorful broth or stir-fried with various ingredients. Typically, lamian is accompanied by a variety of toppings, such as sliced meat, vegetables, and spices. It is popular in many regions of China, particularly in Xinjiang and Shaanxi provinces, where it is often enjoyed as a hearty meal.
