Sun Mian
Loose nests of soft off-white fresh wheat noodles are sold, refrigerated, in 1-pound bags. Buy no more than two days before using and store in refrigerator. Some sun mian are thin and round; others are broader and flat-more ribbonlike. All must be boiled for about 7 minutes. Add to soups or toss with sauces.
