About Lanzhou Ramen
Lanzhou ramen — properly Lanzhou lamian, or Lanzhou beef noodle soup — hails from the city of Lanzhou in China's Gansu province, where it has been served for over a century. Unlike the rich, opaque broths of Japanese ramen, Lanzhou's hallmark is a crystal-clear beef broth, simmered with a blend of warming spices and served with hand-pulled noodles that are stretched to order right before your eyes.
The dish follows a famous five-part rule: yi qing (one clear broth), er bai (two white radish), san hong (three red chili oil), si lü (four green cilantro and scallion), and wu huang (five yellow, bright noodles). Diners can request their noodles in different widths — from delicate angel-hair to thick, flat belt noodles — all pulled by hand from a single piece of dough.
