Confession: While we love the noodles at Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House in Chinatown, where you can see the kitchen staff pulling yards upon yards of perfectly imperfect noodles almost out of thin air, the meat options for the soups that serve as the vehicle for said noodles have always freaked us out a little. Too gristly, too gamey, too unpredictable. But those noodles! They’re truly great. Solution: Nan Zhou’s Egg And Vegetable Noodle Soup, on the menu every day, and yours for a paltry $4.50. Boasting a hearty vegetable broth and one fried egg to accompany those noodles, this will make you strong, and clear, and good, and right. There is literally nothing wrong with it. And besides, Homer, one meatless meal won’t kill ya.
