This video was made possible with the support of Shanxi Xing Hua Cun and the Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan.
I took three outstanding Italian chefs, all based in Asia, to China's most famous province for noodles to have a look and to learn.
In this three-part series, Riccardo La Perna (formerly of 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo, Shanghai and Macau), Paolo Vitaletti (from Appia, Bangkok) and Marino D'Antonio (formerly of Giada Garden, Beijing) meet some of the noodle masters of Shanxi province.
In episode two, the chefs head north to an agricultural capital with its own noodle culture and then back to Taiyuan for the nighttime noodle "show".
