An experienced Japanese chef took on the challenge to make the world's longest egg noodle (hand-made). Hiroshi Kuroda's noodle had to be made as a single, continuous item from the dough, cooked using only hands with the attempt ends when the noodle breaks. In the end, the well-known chef produced a noodle.
To prevent breakage and help Hiroshi throw the noodle into the wok, the noodle was soaked in sesame oil. When he throws the noodle into the wok, he applies pressure to the noodle in order to elongate it.
While making it thin and longer increases the chance of cooking up a record-breaking noodle, it runs the risk of the noodle breaking. This balancing act is one of the keys to a successful attempt, and this is where Hiroshi's mastery shines.
Standing in front of a blisteringly hot wok, Hiroshi tossed the noodles for nearly an hour! Once the noodle was cooked, Hiroshi's assistants then cooled the noodle in ice to harden and finally measured.
Hiroshi Kuroda said that "I was frequently asked by customers how long or thin the noodles can be. Those inquiries led me to the idea of measuring noodles. And I realized Guinness World Records manage that type of records also, which led me to attempt some of the records myself."
Hiroshi also has a record for the most noodle portions prepared in three minutes (9), the thinnest handmade Chinese noodle (0.22 mm/0.0866 in), and the most noodle strings made in one minute (65,536). Now an expert in breaking food records, he has advice for those who are keen to break a Guinness World Records title.
measuring an amazing 183.72 m (602 ft 9 in). To give a sense of scale, if you tipped the Washington Monument on its side, Hiroshi's noodle is 14 meters longer!
