Wuhan noodles are back on the menu

Location: Wuhan, China

After more than two months stuck inside

Wuhan residents are flocking back to noodle shops

for a steaming hot bowl of the city's signature dish

‘Re gan’ noodles - meaning 'hot' and 'dry' are made with:

curly flour noodles

pickled carrots

sesame paste

(SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) UNIDENTIFIED LOCAL RESIDENT, SAYING:

"I’m not used to having these noodles again. I've only just gotten used to life without noodles. Life at that time was less joyful. Now, I can eat them whenever I want. I have been indoors for more than two months. I heard from other people that these noodles were being sold for breakfast, so I came out to get some.’’

China announced that Wuhan’s lockdown

will officially be lifted on April 8
