Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Supreme Soup Prep] At a Luwei stall, boil the gooey 'Lao Lu (master stock)' condensed with all umami from simmering meat/offal/veg all day.
- [Noodle Drop & Magic Time] Take 'Luwei-dedicated Wangzi Mian (unseasoned dry noodles)' sold in Taiwan supers out of the bag, throw directly into boiling soup.
