Cup O' Noodles.
Noodles are fat and chewy.
Now the thing peculiar to family recipes is they leave a mighty imprint. Long after one leaves the nest, one will measure all other meatloaves, beef stews and stir-fries against dear old mom's, all the while citing what is missing in others' versions. More important than the noodle in my Chinese home was the won ton. Mom made them with crunchy minced water chestnuts, shiitake and green onions for plenty of flavor and texture, so that in comparison, Grandma's mostly pork version is more sedate. Nothing wrong with that.
