According to Ramen History, a Hui Muslim Chef from the city of Lanzhou in China first invented Ramen (hand pulled noodles) in the early 1800s. His descendants continued in the tradition of making the noodles, and the fame and popularity of the dish quickly grew among the local population.
Ramen is a type of Chinese noodle made by stretching and folding the dough into strands. The noodles should be made fresh and dropped into boiling water immediately. Often customers can watch the whole process from their table.
