Answers:
Chinese noodle or rice noodle do not expand to such a great extent when it is boiled in water!. If I am not wrong, the noodle were probably fried in hot oil!. The Chinese 'san mein' is made of wheat flour and are sold uncooked!. This noodle do expand when being thrown into hot oil and were ladled out as soon as it had expanded as it could be burn rather easily!. Such method is to let the noodle to absorb the gravies which are poured over it before serving!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
