Yi mein (e-fu) are pre-fried Cantonese egg noodles sold as flat round cakes; they soften almost instantly in hot water and pick up sauce like a sponge.

The noodles are tossed gently - never cut, never broken - and served piled high in a wide bowl. If you can't find yi mein, fresh thin egg noodles work; the symbolism stays intact.
Beef meatballs represent the heart of Italian home cooking, simple ingredients transformed through technique into something greater than their parts.

A wine-enriched sauce catches every drop of savory liquid. This is pure comfort.
Chicken meatballs represent the healthier, lighter side of Italian comfort food.
