dry-fried noodles

Wok-charred wheat ribbons

Dry-fried noodles are a style of stir-fried noodles cooked with minimal sauce, resulting in a drier texture than saucy preparations.

The noodles often become slightly crispy or chewy from direct contact with the hot wok.

Common in Chinese cuisine, they're typically tossed with vegetables, protein, and seasonings: I ordered the dry-fried noodles with beef.
