Numplings or Doodles?

I was inspired by a fabulous wide noodle dish I ate in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China this past summer, to try making my own noodles. Lately, someone commented on one of my posts, which included ramen noodles, that I should try making my own noodles. Tonight, I did.

First, I will share four photos from our trip to China. The photos are of my favorite wide noodle dish, our favorite Chinese diner, and Anthony and I with our favorite Chinese diner owner.

The rest of  these pics are my first attempts at homemade noodles. They turned out to resemble a kind of morph between a noodle and a dumpling. Not quite sure what to call them. Anthony said maybe we could call my creations numplings or doodles. What do you think? We tremendously enjoyed our dinner tonight. Anthony said it reminded him of China.
