Guangzhou Tribute Noodles

　　　　Guangzhou Tribute Noodles are a traditional craft food from Huangchuan, originating in the Tang Dynasty. Known for “outshining all others across the land and gaining nationwide popularity,” they were served as a tribute to the imperial court. These noodles are primarily made from fine wheat flour and sesame-flavored oil, with added ingredients such as salt and alum. After the dough is evenly kneaded, it is stretched on racks to form the noodles. The resulting tribute noodles are as fine as silk and gleam like silver, with a refreshing fragrance. The remarkable feature of these noodles is that although each strand is extremely thin, it is hollow inside, forming a slender tube — a craftsmanship that is truly astounding. When cooked in chicken broth and paired with other seasonings, the noodles are smooth, refreshing, and incredibly delicious.
