Cry baby noodles recipe: “Cry baby noodles” from the Netflix movie Hunger. I’m loving all the attention food dramas’ are getting all the way from Bear from Menu Menu and, now, Hunger. Crybaby noodles are basically an alteration of the classic Pad See Ew noodles and following my attempt to make the original recipe, I am confident that they are delicious.
