"Deng Ji, a Manhattan Chinatown restaurant specializing in Yunnan mixian rice noodles, opened a few years ago just as the fad was heating up (it’s pretty much been forgotten now). Later, it opened a deluxe Flushing branch in the old Fu Run space right on Prince Street, with a menu featuring several kinds of crossing the bridge noodles, a recipe with a colorful origin story. The deluxe version of the dish comes with 14 small bowls, the contents of which are emptied into the boiling hot soup and cooked at the table, including pork skin, shaved radish, lotus shoots, fish filet, and Spam." - Robert Sietsema
