This could be a double definition.

'improvises' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'chinese food' is the second definition.
'noodles' can be an answer for 'food' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'chinese' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noodles that I've seen before include "Pasta ribbons" , "Oriental pasta" , "Narrow strips of pasta, or slang heads" , "Fools; pasta" , "Egg pasta; simpletons" .)
