The story goes, if you eat really long noodles, you'll live a really long time. Great Grandma Tsao must've eaten a ton of these. She passed away recently, at 103 years old. Her birthday always fell around Chinese New Year, and every year, we'd gather together for an elaborate banquet in Flushing, Queens, and it would always include a noodle dish.

<br />Noodle soup is perfect comfort food. Also, it's just plain fun to slurp away at a big bowl of long noodles. I've been making this broth, adapted from Barefoot Contessa At Home, for several years. Noodles adapted from Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodles from Biang! Restaurant, found here: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/neighborhood_eats&id=8959014

<br />And here is the accompanying video, which I highly recommend you watch to see how the noodles are made. http://youtu.be/S6SIpv7uc_U

<br />Have a go! They are really fun to make.
