Despite being nearly two miles long, chefs from Xiangnian Food Co. Ltd followed a traditional ramen noodle recipe.
The noodle was cooked in garlic, egg and tomato sauce, and served to 400 employees and guests present to witness the event.
Noodles are a symbol of longevity in China so Xiangnian invited its employees to take part in the record attempt and bring their elderly relatives and family members along to enjoy the noodle.
The GUINNESS WORLD RECORD (TM) for the longest egg noodle measured 160 m (525 ft) and was prepared by Sorge's Restaurant in Corning, New York, USA, on 4 June 2011. The cooked noodle weighed 13.41 kg (29 lb 9 oz).
