Known as kaolengmian in Chinese, the grilled cold noodles were originally a quick street snack in Northeast China, which has now spread to many other places. In the capital city of Beijing, for example, it's not rare to encounter a cart or a street stand selling the noodles.
The cooking process is simple. A thin, pre-made sheet of dough is placed on a sizzling flat skillet before an egg is cracked and spread over it. It's then sprinkled with scallions, chopped onions and cilantro.
