Noodles are a beloved dish in Japan, eaten hot, cold, boiled, fried, or baked, and made from buckwheat, wheat, or rice flour. Japanese noodles are long, and they're eaten that way on purpose — there's an old belief that the longer the noodle, the longer your life. There's even a whole etiquette to it: you eat them with chopsticks without winding them up, chewing so the ends dangle like a funny mustache, and slurping loudly to show how good they are — then draw in the last of the strand so the tip flicks your cheek! That's the Japanese way; for the rest of us, here's a wonderful recipe for Japanese noodles with beef and vegetables.
