Where can I find a commercail steamer for steaming 500 kg of fresh noodles?

Thank you

You will see them marked “plain noodle” both in dried or fresh versions if it is a wheat noodle with no egg in it, and “egg noodle” if it is a wheat noodle with egg. They may not mention the wheat on the package until you look at the ingredients list on the back–there will be one in English–it may just be in very small print.

Try looking for them that way. For fresh noodles, try looking for lo mein noodles. For thin dried wheat noodles, try “long life noodles.”

I am sure they are there–they are used often in Chinese cookery. Keep trying–and if all else fails, print out some of my photos and take them to the markets with you. If you cannot find what is in the pictures, take them to counter and ask. I have found that photos often help if there is a language barrier involved.

(Of course, in my local Asian market, we had a funny language barrier moment–I asked for lop cheong–Chinese pork sausages, and the lady who owns the store laughed as she got them, and told her husband what I asked for and then said, “No one else would know what you meant.” I was pronouncing it the Cantonese way–which is the Chinese language I have the most experience in–whereas all Chinese speak Mandarin–and only southerners speak Cantonese. Its all the Hong Kong movies I have watched undubbed for years, I figure. I am more attuned to the sounds of Cantonese than Mandarin.)

Jeanne–that is interesting to know about the microwave. I wonder how it worked. I might have to try it!
