Like some hot food (including noodles primarily) in China (6)
I believe the answer is:
friend
'china' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'like some hot food including noodles primarily' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'food' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'hot' could be 'in' (both can mean fashionable) and 'in' is located in the leftover letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for friend that I've seen before include "One who gives proof of genuine regard" , "One you know well and regard with affection" , "Comrade for finder" , "Colleague" , "Associate, supporter" .)
