Old Town Sha Tang

　　Sha Tang is a spicy soup primarily made with eggs. It is prepared using a hen and round bones, along with a spice bag containing 12 different ingredients. During cooking, the soup includes wheat kernels, green onions, ginger, shredded chicken, and ground pepper. Crushed eggs are placed in a bowl and stirred with chopsticks, then the boiling broth is poured over to create a large bowl of Sha Tang topped with floating egg ribbons. Some also add a few sprigs of cilantro or mint leaves on top, along with a few drops of sesame oil. As for garnishes, they can be more or less, in various forms and with flexible content. Sha Tang is savory, fragrant, and hot, wafting its aroma across the land of northern Anhui and attracting travelers from all directions.
