Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodles
The story goes that a man was studying for his imperial exams during the Qing Dynasty on a small island off of Yunnan Province in China. His wife wanted to bring him a hot meal, and carried a hot broth with a layer of chicken fat on the top to keep it warm. Guo qiao mi xian (crossing-the-bridge noodles) was thus invented and is now a well-known, regional dish. Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodles, which appears to be a part of a larger chain, just opened a location in downtown Berkeley. Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodles, 2014 Kala Bagai Wy., Berkeley
