Early Look: Big Plate Chicken Noodles, Shanxi style (Patreon)

The other day, we were watching this video from the esteemed travel vlogger A Xing (whose totally has English subtitles these days, huge recommendation). As we often do when we watch A Xing, we learned about an interesting dish from an interesting city that we'd never been before.

But here in Bangkok, it'd been a while since we've had really excellent noodles. No shade against Thai guaytiew (I mean, maybe a sliver of shade), but they never really scratch that really-good-fresh-carbohydrate itch. So we were longingly watching the video, before we decided "screw it, we know how to make this food, let's just make some damn noodles". Did a bit of research on the dish and made it for ourselves the next day.

And it was... awesome. We had to drop what we were planning, and tell you about it practically immediately. Seriously, it was that good - I heavily recommend giving this one a whirl.
