    When making long noodles. Make a circle with your thumb and index. Bring your index all the way to the base of your thumb. Somewhere in there is the amount you will eat (of dry noodles that fit). Find it, and never make the wrong amount again.

      Yeah I always learned the same: one serving is approximately a circle from index to base of thumb, two people you move your finger up the next crease in your thumb, 3 you just make a circle of tip of finger to tip of thumb. It isn’t always perfect but it has served me.
