Do you have a favorite Asian noodle?

There's so many: Shanghai, Taiwanese, Rice, Flat, Udon, Soba

I tend to stick to soba and rice noodles.

The best noodles on this rock is probably cake noodle. For some reason,
Chinese restaurants on the mainland do not serve this dish. These are
thin egg noodles that are fried on both sides and then cut into squares.
The noodles are then served with Chinese dishes that have a lot of
gravy. As far as I know, this is the only place that serves this
favorite noodles.

Dumb question, but how do you fry a noodle on both sides.

Think about the name "cake noodle" and the description of cutting into
squares.

It's not a dumb question. I don't know. We like to fry a bunch at a time
instead of a single noodle. The dish is called "cake noodle", not cake
noodles or noodle cake.

To me that looks like they treated the noodles like the shredded
potatoes in hash browns. Cool looking method.

The idea is pretty much the same. The noodles should be compacted and
fried in a good amount of oil at medium heat. Add a few drops of sesame
oil to the oil before adding the noodles. Flip it when browned. Cut into
squares and top with your favorite goopy Chinese dish. Extra gravy please!

Well, there ya' go. When I think of fried noodles, I think of deep
fried, like in a wok. I know American Chinese restos use the term
"pan fried" but that usually means pan fried after they've been
boiled or other wise softened by some other means.

Cake noodle is (are?) cooked 2 times i.e., boiled, then fried. The thing
about cake noodle is that you can cut it into cake-like squares.
