This is a rather unique noodle block. First, it is dense and has some weight to it. Second, it is quite thin – about half the thickness of most varieties. These noodles aren’t the kinf you would want to eat raw; they’re hard.

I’m very curious about how this will turn out. Has a very nice smell – ginger is definitely a component, which makes me quite happy.
