Minqing Rice Noodles

Minqing rice noodles are a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　In Minqing, there’s a saying that “no feast is complete without rice noodles.” Minqing rice noodles make an excellent gift for family and friends. Handmade, these noodles are truly unique and considered a local treasure. Premium rice is first washed, ground into slurry, and pressed to create “noodle base.” The base is then partially cooked before being evenly mixed with raw and cooked portions to form high-quality noodle dough, which is extruded by hand or machine into noodle strands. These strands are boiled in hot water until cooked, rinsed with clean spring water, then pressed and sun-dried to become finished noodles. From washing the rice and filtering the slurry to cooking the base, soaking the noodles, and finally washing and drying them, the process involves five rounds of degreasing. Only 0.75 kilograms of handmade noodles can be produced from one kilogram of rice. Minqing rice noodles are beautifully colored, fragrant, and have excellent chewiness. They remain non-sticky whether boiled, stir-fried, or served in broth, offering a refreshing and delicious taste. Thanks to their multi-stage degreasing process, active fats and biological chains are broken down and removed, making them a top choice for diabetics as recommended by medical experts and a natural health food.
