Ancient Chinese kitchens were known for their diverse cooking techniques and ingredients. They were typically located in a separate building or a designated area within the house. Adding a dedicated pasta-making station to an ancient Chinese kitchen would have been a unique addition. While pasta as we know it today was not part of ancient Chinese cuisine, they did have various types of noodles made from wheat, rice, or other grains. Having a designated area for noodle-making would have allowed the ancient Chinese to explore different noodle dishes and techniques.
