Making long-noodle pasta &   raviolis, Uygur style :
When we think of the Chinese diet, we think of rice, but did you know that in north and western China they mostly eat noodles? Of course, it was Marco Polo who brought the wonders of spaghetti and ravioli to europe, but it had already been a staple in the Uygur and Chinese diet for millenniums!
