Lanzhou-style Beef Lamian

Lamian (SC: 拉面, TC: 拉麵, PY: lāmiàn) is a Chinese dish of hand-made noodles, usually served in a beef or mutton-flavored soup (湯麵 tāngmiàn), but sometimes stir-fried (炒麵 chǎomiàn) and served with a tomato-based sauce. Literally, 拉 (lā) means to pull or stretch, while 麵 (miàn) means noodle. The process of taking a lump of dough and repeatedly stretching it to produce a single very long noodle is quite an art.
