Chinese Noodles are our, everyone’s favorite. But let’s now learn the story behind the world-famous dish.

Chinese noodles originated in the Han dynasty. There are several varieties of noodles in China, based on the classification of the shape of noodles, seasoning gravy, and cooking craft. The earliest known record of noodles is dated to the Eastern Han period from a book assuming it to be from 25–220 CE.

Noodles were first developed to meet the needs of the military during the Han dynasty. The government needed a way to store and transport food more efficiently, so they developed technology to process starch-rich flour like buckwheat, millet, and pea into a new type of food called “Laomian.” And so, the history of noodles began.
