Apparently, the Chinese don’t eat the liang fen with a soup. It seems they prepare it with a sauce, a dollop of flavor. Methinks that Marco Polo missed this treat so much on his trip to “the Orient” that when he returned home, sa-pa-ghe-tee was born.
Anyway, here’s an idea of similar dish from Southeast Asia:




I’d provide the recipe, but I have no idea how to make it. Only how to eat it. Har.
