I am a northern Chinese person,and our people live mainly on wheat. So, almost we eat noodles everyday. The way to make it is very easy. when the water is boiling , put the noodles into the boiling water, after 5 or 6 minutes ,it will be done. you can get the noodle out with some soup , then you can eat with dishes.
