Celery, carrots, bean sprouts and little bits of bbq pork with some kind of vaguely grub-shaped noodle, served under an overturned glass bowl. I asked the lady whose cart it was on and she told me, "Chinese noodles." I'm guessing there's probably a more specific name than that, however. At any rate, I'm a huge fan of it, although I admit some of that love might be nostalgia for eating it at the old Pink Pearl at Dundas and Elizabeth. Anyone? And any suggestions for another place with good/better?

However I have not had any good ones in recently memory. They are most often rather dense and oily, especially after they are cooled down by staying on the carts too long. Edit: here's how to make your own http://www.fotop.net/Macy/Macy3547 to 250 g gluten-free flour, add 250 g boiling water all at once. Mix, cover and let rest 3 minutes. Knead a little with oiled hands. Form pieces into needle shape and put on oiled baking sheet. Steam 10-15 minutes. Prepare as stir fry or in soup.

It's funny, now that I know what they're called, there's a ton of info out there, but it was totally impossible to figure out the right search terms to get there myself. Huzzahs to Teep!
