That's quite strange, it's the first time someone has wanted to watch me make noodles.
Granny Chen's Tan-tsai noodles are very famous at the night market. Some have tried to understand how she makes them, and others have wanted to buy her recipe.
Whenever she meets such people, Granny Chen would actively invite them to watch her complete a bowl of noodles from start to finish.
By the end, those customers who wanted to buy her recipe would shake their heads continuously, and then meekly have a bowl of noodles before leaving.
The reason being, other people making Tan-tsai noodles even use store-bought shrimp oil.
During preparation, they pre-cook a pot of broth using shrimp oil, then ladle a spoonful over cooked noodles, add a single fresh shrimp, and the dish is done.
Granny Chen does it differently.
