[This is obviously Naomi Kenway's first time making knife-cut noodles. She's just copying everything from the internet. I don't believe a beginner's noodles can be that good. Ian probably just said they were delicious to make her feel better!]
[That looks so appetizing! It makes me want to crawl out of bed and make a delicious bowl of knife-cut noodles myself!]
[That looks kind of familiar. It's like a specialty noodle dish I had at a restaurant when I was visiting Veridia. It was impossible to get a table there. You could try to book two weeks in advance and still not get a spot!]

Buoyed by her success, Naomi Kenway's cooking went much more smoothly. She used up all the ingredients to make four bowls of knife-cut noodles.
The other guests at the potluck would also be bringing dishes over. Not everyone would necessarily eat the knife-cut noodles, so four bowls should be about enough.
