To make biangbiang noodles, you take a piece of dough in your hands, stretch it out, and bounce it against a tabletop like a skipping rope. These noodles get their name from the sound they make when they slap the table surface. When you order biangbiang noodles in Xi'an, you'll be asked if you want one or two noodles because they're as wide as your belt.
