China breaks world records in making longest noodle

The record for the longest noodle has been broken after a Chinese food company successfully cooked a single strip measuring a enormous 3,084 m (10,119 ft 1.92 in).

The event took place in Nanyang, Henan with chef and his team spent 17 hours rolling out the enormous noodle.

Despite being nearly two miles long, chefs from Xiangnian Food Co. Ltd followed a traditional ramen noodle recipe.

Official Guinness World Records adjudicator John Garland helped measure the treat – which took three hours and announced that the participants had broken the previous record of 548.7 m (1,800 ft 2 in) which was previously achieved in Japan in 2007.

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.
