Sihui Rice Noodles

Sihui Rice Noodles

　　　Sihui rice noodles, commonly known as "fen zai," originated among the people of Qingtang. First, glutinous rice flour is mixed with an appropriate amount of water to form a paste. Then, the paste is poured into a specially designed rice noodle mold, from which it quickly flows through several small holes at the bottom of the mold into boiling water in the pot, forming round strands. Once cooked, the noodles are scooped out with a sieve and soaked in clean water (commonly referred to as "shocking" or "rinsing in cold water"). When eating, bring the wok to a fierce heat, add an appropriate amount of broth, then put in the noodles, and season with soy sauce, pepper, minced meat, scallions, and garlic.
