Noodle soup is a big part of Chinese daily eating, especially in the north of China, where people eat more wheaten food than the south. If you visit northern China, you will see the noodles freshly made by using different techniques.

The well-known noodles include the knife-cut noodle (Dao Xiao Mian, 刀削面), hand-pulled noodle (La Mian, 拉面) and Biang Biang noodle (belt noodle). The soup for the noodle is usually made by meat or bone stock with rich flavour after long hours of cooking. The popular flavours are beef, lamb, pork ribs or pickled sour vegetables.

Compared to the north, people in the south eat more rice in their daily food. The noodle can be made by wheat flour or rice flour. For example, in Hunan, we usually have the rice noodle soup for the breakfast. You can buy the fresh made noodle from the market, or buy the dried noodle sold in the pack.

In our home, my parents usually make the noodle soup when they want a quick easy meal, either for breakfast or lunch. This recipe is how they make Chinese noodle soup by fried egg, vegetable and Chinese black wood ear. They like to use the wood ear in many of their home cooking, as it is very healthy ingredient, which can help to low the blood cholesterol.
