What do ramen, udon, wonton, and soba have in common? If you answered NOODLES, you’re correct. But have you ever heard of Crossing the Bridge (過橋米線) noodles? What a strange name!

Why Are The Noodles Called “Crossing The Bridge”?

There are a number of stories behind the origin of the name. The most popular one is about a scholar who was studying on a small, quiet island for his exams.¹ His wife was afraid he would forget to eat, so she brought him food each day. You guessed it. She crosses a bridge to get to the island.

When she arrived with the food, it became all soggy and cold. To make sure her husband had a fresh bowl of hot noodles, she separated all the dishes and assembled it when she arrived instead. So loving!
