Yanshui Egg noodles

Egg noodles, pronounced "yi-mien" in Mandarin Chinese, are a kind of traditional Taiwanese noodles made of eggs, flours, and salt without a single drop of water. It was first made from local duck eggs by the cooks of Zheng Chenggong (17th century Ming dynasty loyalist) 's army in Yanshui.

One of the theories about the origin of its name is that sounds like "yi" was shouted out when people worked hard to knead the tough dough without water. The name of Yi-mien (mien = noodles)" was thus coined. Compared to the making of regular noodles, it takes triple the amount of time to make egg noodles.
