Northerners favor noodles, Southerners favor rice. But..Mein is also very southern. So is there a blending of north and south? Choy Li Fut comes to mind. Wu Dip jeung from Hung-Ga as well, so which is better? Noodles or Rice?
Both are good, depending on the variety, quality and freshness. Overall I would say rice is more digestable and compatible with more body types. I recommend finding a good book or website on Ayurveda and taking the test to determine which dosha you are and following the dietary suggestions for your particular dosha. There are also food antidotes that will negate the negetive effects of just about everything if used in moderation. Surprisingly brown rice is not recommended for most people. A good aged basmati is most universal.
Chow foon. I love chow foon.
okay, I started this thread as a kind of joke from another thread, but…seeing where it’s going…and I’m gettin kinda hungry…
I love chow fun, and ngau yuk chow mein-not LaChoy American Chow Mein, but the real McCoy-pan fried noodles, and speaking of rice dishes, siyao gai fon-soy sauce-chicken over rice.There’s a great rice shop in Flushing where you can order tonnage of great food-siyao gai, duck, roast pig, cha siew, for about 4 bucks a plate!
Also I love lop cheung (those red sausages) and lop yuk-which is a dried pork something-I can’t identify it but it’s amazing-anyone know recipies which use them? yes, I have broken the cardinal rule never to eat anything I can’t identify, but face it, nobody can really identify gumbo either.
Depends on what kind of noodles. So many varieties:
la mian (wheat noodles)
dan dan mian (dan dan noodles)
mi fen (rice vermicelli)
shanghai mian (the fat round style of noodles)
lao si fen (brunei style of noodles)
he fen (broad rice noodles)
etc…
and the all time best, gong zi mian (gong jai mien) the instant MSG death noodles.
hey, for rice, would you include mi zhou (mai juk / congee) ?
I like
Shou La Mien (North) & Fukien Chao Fan(South)
I read a book by Robert W. Smith
he quoted a master he studied with. The guy said something like, if you eat rice it will make yor stomach soft and you’ll get yor a$$ beaten faster. That’s not an exact quote, in case u didnt know. Anyway, I’m still trying to figure out what the guy meant.

LOL
bAK SZE GAY FAN (chicken and rice with giner and shallots) aldentee!
or macdonalds…:):eek:
Any meat dish that I order at a takeaway, it is so packed full of rice it takes me and three friends a good ten minutes to find the Lemon Chicken.
Grogan - That’s not Chicken.
Meow.
You want to try the noodles for texture and variety and the rice to fill you up and nurture you.
peace
kung Lek,
why don’t you eat more noodles and that too would fill you up.
Unlike northern kung fu vs southern kung fu, where the north is better than the south, the same analogy cannot be applied to noodles and rice!
rice is a type of grass (plant) whereas noodles are a manufactured product. There isn’t such as thing as noodle plant. on the otherhand, noodles can be made from wheat, rice, potato or other types of starch. The Italians learned to make noodles from wheat through the chinese.
Ego Maximus is always right.
My fav is a southern dish of Hakka descent…
Yong Tou Fu
So Marco Polo went to China in 350 bc?
hmm I would think that rice would be better because MOST noodles are just pure charbs but rice and some beans are one of the best sources of protien that combo is great if you are trying to gain muscle, Plus you add a little chicken and its a pretty good meal. Many chinese doctors say that the real real sticky rice is good i forget the name but supposley it cleans the lining of your stomach.
rice
because the character for rice when broken down has the character for chi! rice POWER!!:l)
BILLIONS OF CHINESE CANT BE WRONG!

Noodles or rice? Depends on what kind of noodles…or hot pots, or dumplings… 
China Busts 35 Restaurants for Using Opium Poppies as Seasoning

A man walks past a branch of the Hu Da hot pot restaurant chain in Beijing, Jan. 22, 2016.
Five restaurants are being prosecuted while 30 others are under investigation
(BEIJING) — China’s Food and Drug Administration says it found opium poppies used as illegal seasoning in 35 restaurants across the country, including a popular Beijing hot pot chain.
Five restaurants are being prosecuted while 30 others, ranging from Shanghai dumpling joints to noodle shops in southwestern Chongqing, are under investigation.
Cases of cooks sprinkling ground poppy powder, which contains low amounts of opiates like morphine and codeine, in soup and seafood are not new in China, though it is unclear whether they can hook a customer or deliver a noticeable buzz.
Shaanxi Province police busted a noodle seller in 2014 after being tipped off by a failed drug test. Seven restaurants were closed in Ningxia Province in 2012 for using the additive and Guizhou Province shut down 215 restaurants in 2004.
Why is this in the Southern Chinese Kung Fu forum again?
