6. Biang Biang Noodles

面 (biángbiáng miàn) is a testament to China’s humor, creativity, and love for food, all in one!  The character for “” (biang) is the Chinese language’s most complex word, with 43 strokes to write it!  Although there is a humorous story behind this word, the focus here is the Chinese food!
