[It's obviously Naomi Kenway's first time making knife-cut noodles. She's just copying all the steps from the internet. I don't believe a beginner's noodles could be that good. Ian probably just said they were delicious to make her feel better!]
[That looks so appetizing! I'm going to crawl out of bed and make myself a delicious bowl of knife-cut noodles too!]
[That looks a little familiar... it looks like the specialty noodles from a shop I ate at while visiting Veridia. It was so hard to get a table there; you couldn't even be sure of getting one if you booked half a month in advance!]

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