Gene Wu hand-pulling noodles in his restaurant kitchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0It’s just a few weeks before\u00a0Chinese New Year’s, which falls on February 10th this year. In anticipation, the Lowell Folklife Series<\/a> presents “Noodling: The Art of Chinese Hand-Pulled Noodles.” This cooking demonstration on Monday, January 28th will be presented by Chef Gene Wu, owner of \u00a0 Gene’s Chinese Flatbread Cafe<\/a> in Chelmsford, MA.<\/p>\n

Wu will share his knowledge and skill in making and serving hand-pulled noodles. Known as “biang, biang mian,” these broad noodles are made from dough that is cut, rolled out, and stretched. \u00a0It’s a dramatic thing to see, as Gene pulls the dough, flings it in the air, slaps it down on the counter several times, and then throws it into a pot of boiling water.<\/p>\n

Gene Wu grew up in Xi’an, the capital of\u00a0central China’s Shaaxi Province, a region noted for its noodle soups and flatbread. Menu items at Gene’s restaurant are mostly derived from his grandfather’s recipes.<\/p>\n

In addition to talking about Chinese noodle traditions, Wu will demonstrate how to hand-pull noodles. He will then attempt to teach someone from the audience how to do it.<\/p>\n

Date: \u00a0 Monday January 28, 2013<\/p>\n

Time: \u00a07:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Place: \u00a0Event Center, Boott Cotton Mills Museum, 115 John Street, Lowell, MA 01852<\/p>\n

More information<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Questions? Call Maggie at 978-275-1719.
\n<\/a><\/strong>No reservations are necessary.<\/p>\n

PS\u00a0 Thanks to Jen Meyers who attended Wu’s demonstration and posted this\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0— nice photos of several audience members trying their hands at pulling noodles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
