Wheat dough is stretched and slapped into very broad, thick ribbons, then boiled and dressed. Hot oil over chili and aromatics is familiar, while meat and vegetable toppings vary. The noodles have a strong, springy chew and a wide surface that carries the seasoning. Their thickness makes the texture central to the dish.

Wheat dough is layered with oil or fat, stretched into fine strands, coiled into small towers and steamed. The strands are loosened at serving rather than fried to a crisp shell. The result is soft and light in layers, with a rich wheat aroma and a delicate threadlike bite. Accompaniments supply sharper flavor.
