The questline to get the noodle recipes begins at Timeless Isle, upon finding a broken sign tablet to the northeast of Mossgreen Lake, among the rubble of the broken bridge; the tablet gives the quest Noodle Secrets Long Forgotten, that sends you on a search of someone “Lin”, a name that was written on the sign.

Lin dwells in the village of Old Pi’jiu in the southwestern part of Timeless Isle. Upon finding her, you will be granted the quest The Lost Secret of the Secret Ingredient, which sends you to Temple of Jade Serpent dungeon and requires you to defeat the Sha of Doubt - it can be done on any difficulty.

After the Sha is defeated, you can find a small scroll on the left side of the wall, inside the same room - the quest is being delivered straight to it. The scroll mentions a character in the text that means “recipe”, but it is possible that the scroll itself may have become corrupted by the sha presence inside the temple.. and upon opening the scroll, you find out that it is true, and the only way to cleanse the old recipe is to release the evil energies hidden within and defeat them.

Bad Feeling, Worse Result is the next part of the questline and is being done in the same room - upon reading the scroll, the Ghost of Lin Da-Gu appears with an inspiring yell “Who wants soup!”.

He is an elite pandaren ghost with currently 7.878.000 hp and has a set of abilities:

• 
  
• at the pull he summons three sets of whirling frying pans (or [spell=145886]) that bounce around, from wall to wall, in the straight fixed lines, hitting for ~115.000 physical damage;
• 
  
• regularly he throws a set of noodles on the ground (looks like ivory spider web), they slow the movement if being stepped on; also seem to disappear over time;
• 
  
• more often that not, he also throws four [spell=146919] that create a patch of flame on the ground and deal ~200.000 fire damage (more annoyingly, he can throw them right under his current target, with 0.5 seconds to react to it), these don’t seem to disappear and sooner or later can cover the whole balcony;
• 
  
• finally, he has a long-distance breath attack [spell=145888], only way to avoid it seems to be walking behind him, but he keeps turning his face to his tank even while casting this, before the damage hits, so at the moment, on the PTR, it’s impossible to avoid the first tick of damage. Hits for 102.000 fire.
• 
  

With the retaining downscale of gear in normal dungeons to 372 ilvl and randomness of the damage, I could not defeat him alone after clearing the whole dungeon, so for now...
