    Any discussion of biang biang noodles is incomplete without also mentioning the word is written with THE most complicated Chinese character there is.

      Dang! If writing the name of the food is more complicated than preparing the food itself, it’s usually German food lol

      I actually memorised how to write this character, it’s not terribly difficult if you know how Chinese characters work and how they’re normally written

        Thats impressive - the biáng character is actually so complex it’s not even in the standard Unicode set, which is why you’ll often see it written as two ‘biang’ pinyin instead of the actual charcter!
