Me too, I have tried but can't nail it. Those are hand pulled noodles
which are a famous thing from Lan Zhou. I frequent some noodle shops in
NYC that make authentic Lan Zhou hand pulled noodles just like that:

Noodles are definitely cheap food for the masses. I have traveled

noodles aren't even close.
