Streetside Chinese food, especially noodles is relished by most of us, and they are readily available in almost all parts of the country. But have you ever wondered how noodles, the ingredient used in most of the Chinese items is made, and whether it is healthy or not? A video showing the production of the noodles in a local factory has gone viral on the internet.
The clip shared by Chirag Barjatya shows a small factory where the workers are preparing noodles without wearing any gloves or masks. The process of making noodles starts with flour being put in a mixer to make the dough. After the dough is ready it is cut into long noodles. At the end the workers throw these noodles on the ground and steam them later.
"When was the last time you had roadside chinese hakka noodles with schezwan sauce?" read the caption of the post shared on the micro-blogging site.
Since being uploaded, the video has garnered 466.7k views and 2,404 likes. The post was also flooded with several comments.
