Qishan
Style Noodles
In Xi’an, you can see Qishan style Noodles restaurant anywhere. This
kind of snack has a really funny and historical story. Qishan, where is the place of origin,
is situated to the west of Shaanxi province. Long time ago, there was a monster
killed a lot of people and made citizens’ life miserable. King Wen of Zhoustate was really brave and intelligent. In order to solve this problem, he
killed this monster and made sure all the citizens in the town were safe.
In memory of him, people cooked this monster by the meanings of getting
away bad luck. This noodle tasted sour and a little bit spicy. The soup is made
of shopped pork, red pepper, tofu, potato, egg pancake, carrot, vinegar,
ginger and soy sauce. The noodle is man made, so it tasted chewy. When noodles
and soup are mixed, put green onion on the top of the soup. Just like the
picture is shown below.
