Basically Nanjie is supposed to be the "last/most Maoist city " in China. Theres big ass pics of Marx Engels Stalin Lenin etc etc in the town square. The town doesnt have real money they do their own thing. Idk how to add pics but they basically have this as their city's pride you can look it up or visit their site http://www.nanjiecun.cn/ (edit site might be broken on some browsers but u can look them up and get information) but all the stuff they make is here: http://www.nanjiecun.cn/njcjt.asp They make instant noodles which is like their most famous thing they make. I got the Beijing style noodles for this post again idk how to put a picture in the post but I did cooked them. They are basically generic crappy cheap instant noodles (basically so cheap they might as well give them away for free seriously.) Anyway these basically taste like generic cheap instant noodles which they are I would review the actual good noodles that they have with the classy fresh pack but I dont have them rn. Also they make wooden crafts and shit that look really nice again check their website

    Gosh, that sounds terrible. At least with soup it's a meal, though a poor one. I've bought the most expensive dry noodle packs there are in the hopes they'd be worth it, but no. They're not much better than the cheap ones.

      yeah i think western brands are all shit, cheap or not. that's why you can make snacks out of them, same as this one.

      in asia, good instant noodles are actually good though and you can make soup with them

        Well gosh, nobody eats dry noodles. Yuk. Noodles are always served in soup. It's the correct presentation. It's why they come in a bowl. Just add boiling water.

          Worth it to note that ramen noodles are typically deep fried to remove moisture during manufacturing. Makes em calories dense but way more palatable dry or rehydrated

          If you're trying to say some shit about spaghetti or something guess what happens to the dry noodle before it goes on a plate

            It gets added to boiling water?

            Ever had dry spaghetti? I used to eat it all the time when I was a kid. But I was weird.

              yeah, as part of the cooking process, it is rehydrated

              a noodle doesn't need to be in soup but if you're eating dry noodles you're hurting yourself for nothin
