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 long, thin strands. The dough is made from wheat flour and water, and skilled chefs stretch and fold it repeatedly to achieve the desired texture. Typically served in a flavorful broth, lamian can be accompanied by various toppings such as vegetables, meat, and spices. It is popular in many regions of China, especially in Xinjiang province, where it reflects the local culinary traditions and influences from Central Asia.
