FAQ
The word ramen is a Japanese borrowing of the Chinese word lamian (拉麵), meaning pulled noodles, but is not derived from the northern Chinese dish of lamian. Instead, the dish evolved from southern Chinese noodle dishes from regions such as Guangzhou, reflecting the demographics of Chinese settlers in Yokohama.
In Chinese, la means to pull and mian is a food product made from wheat dough including noodles. So, what this means is lamian is literally translated into hand-pulled noodles. For ramen, you don't hand-pull the dough. You make the dough flat, and cut it into long, thin noodle-like strands.
La mian (pronounced “la mee-en”) originated among the Hui people of China's northwestern Gansu province during the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 C.E.).

Literally, lamian means pulled noodles (the Chinese word la (拉) means to pull, which is how the dough is made into long thin noodles, mian (面)). Lamian dishes are usually served in beef or mutton soup. Sometimes the noodles can be stir-fried (chaomian (炒面)) and served with a tomato-like sauce.
