Just spent the last hour in a Chengdu back alley watching this 70-year-old woman hand-pull noodles and I genuinely think I've been eating them wrong my entire life. The way she stretches the dough is almost meditative, and the broth she's been simmering since 5am tastes like it has actual memories in it. Street food hits different when you can see the care that goes into it.
