Cake noodle is a local specialty that every Chinese restaurant in the state serves. Everyone on this rock loves that stuff! When the Hawaiians go to a Chinese restaurant on the mainland they are saddened to hear that nobody there knows what cake noodle is. That's the breaks.

What ingredients go into cake noodle, I'm sure you can just add
them... probably mostly seasoned sauces like soy sauce.
I make ramen into all sorts of Oriental dishes by adding veggies and
seasonings, bits of meat and thickening. I'll bet there is no precise
recipe for cake noodle and every chef makes it different and different
each time, because there are no exact recipes for Oriental dishes....
most Oriental dishes are based on what left overs are available at the
moment. I make egg drop soup often and it's somewhat different every
time.... I'll sometimes turn ramen into pork eggdrop.... easy to do
with a couple pork chop bones. . . first thing use the bones to make a
stock, meanwhile cut up some celery, onions, garlic, bok choy,
mushrooms... in other words clean out the fridge, dice that last
lonely carrot for color. I don't always buy fresh mushrooms because
they have a rather short shelf life but I do buy canned 'shrooms by
the 24 can case. I buy canned straw mushrooms by the case too...
Chinese restaurants use canned straw mushrooms. I buy canned water
chestnuts, canned bamboo shoots, even canned bean sprouts... Chinese
restaurants use all those canned as well, they just buy them in #10
cans by the case... fresh bean sprouts have a short shelf life so
that's why the #10 cans. Those all cost much less in #10 cans but
those are too much for me so I buy smaller cans. All those are handy
to have on hand if one enjoys Oriental cooking.
Tonight won't be Oriental, gonna be a 12 egg cheese omelet, American
cheese... eggs already all beaten in a smallish covered SS bowl in the
fridge. Tomorrow the injection in my back... may stop at The Gold
Coin again for dinner, whatever my wife wants.... she enjoys Chinese
food too. The Chinese business owners are very sociable people, once
they realize that you're a regular customer they serve you much more
generously. I can see that they add a lot more meat and pricier
ingredients to the dishes. They are much more conversant now than
they used to be... I've come to know that the Chinese are very much
yenta-like. They are very much into people, they like to share their
their family and like to know about yours. And since I've never
been a private person I don't mind sharing... but still I have to be
careful, I don't really know how the Chinese take to knowing about
faggot family members... they might want to poison me... are there any
Chinese faggots... do they lose face? So much to learn, so little
time.
