A Culinary Epiphany...
I discovered a tiny little cart. not even a cart. a hovel...a miniscule tented steel contraption on the NE corner of Hester and Elizabeth street in China Town New York. 2 Chinese ladies are making some of the most incredible breakfast treats i've ever experienced. Between 7:30 and 11:30 am only, you get on line (a short and quick one) and order choosing either chicken, pork or dried shrimp and egg. They have these flat metal sliding drawers and they ladle a white liquid of rice flour add the meat, egg and scallion in slide in a heater drawer. In 10 seconds they pull it out, and use a scraper to push the now finished rice noodles to one side, then put in a plastic container and add chopped pickled radish, hot sauce and some other secret sauce. all for $1.75 Buy for all your friends and best eating it piping hot.
The texture of these noodles combined with the flavors and ingredients is ethereal. a total moment...OMG, delicate, smooth, sexy and so freakin good that i ate 2 bowls yesterday morning. This is a must try. Check them out. You wont be sorry and let me know what you think. Would love to get your thoughts...
