Jishou Rice Noodles

Jishou Rice Noodles

　　Every native of Jishou, as soon as they return home from elsewhere, will definitely head to a local rice noodle shop to enjoy a big bowl of fragrant noodles. Jishou’s rice noodles are all made from ground rice. There’s nothing particularly special about that. What makes them unique is the seasoning. In other places, the seasonings usually consist of just a few pieces of meat or some cooked things. But in Jishou, the pork, beef, or other meats used in the seasoning must be simmered for a long time, along with a whole bunch of other ingredients. And no broth is added.

　　In Jishou, you can tell there’s a rice noodle shop nearby as soon as you catch a whiff of that delicious aroma.
