Hmm... I see from your post and more searching that "guobian" seems to
be the name of the soup itself... the "guobian flakes" I have must be
the white noodles in the guobian.
Somehow I knew even though it was off-topic, that someone here would
have the info. And I even lucked out and found someone in Fuzhou!
Pretty cool.
I am using them as a replacement for fresh Thai rice noodles, but can
you tell me how the noodles are made for the guobian? Is this a dish
you make yourself or just buy out?
