Guiping Luoxiu Rice Noodles

Guiping Luoxiu Rice Noodles

　　Origin: Luoxiu Town, Guiping City, Guangxi, China.

　　Luoxiu rice noodles are famous for their fine and even strands, snow-white and glossy appearance, tender yet resilient texture, long cooking endurance, delicate smoothness, and satisfyingly crisp bite. Experiments have been conducted: dried noodles folded into a roll can be thrown forcefully against a wall 20 times without breaking; 150 freshly cut noodles (weighing about 200 grams) hung from a horizontal beam can lift and swing a 70-kilogram young man. In 1985, after China Central Television and Shenzhen Dole Film & TV Company featured Luoxiu rice noodles in the large-scale TV series "China's Unique Skills" under the title "The Strange Noodles," their fame soared even higher.

　　Luoxiu rice noodles have a long history, gaining recognition as early as the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period. Their handmade production process is unique, using the special mountain water of the region combined with locally grown high-quality white rice to produce a refined product. The entire production process includes rice selection, soaking, grinding into slurry, steaming the noodle sheets, folding the sheets, cutting the noodles, and bundling the noodles.

　　Luoxiu rice noodles can be boiled or stir-fried, and can be prepared into various dishes according to different tastes, such as meat broth noodles, “Laoyou” noodles, snail-flavor noodles, cold tossed noodles, and stir-fried noodles. In winter, when enjoying hotpot with dog meat, boiling Luoxiu noodles in the dog meat soup with a bit of chili and chopped scallions creates an incredibly delicious flavor.

　　The main production area of Luoxiu rice noodles is Luoxiu Town, Guiping City, where there are currently over 120 noodle workshops across 21 villages. Annual production exceeds one million kilograms, and demand always outstrips supply. The noodles are sold not only within the region—including in Guangzhou and Shenzhen—but also to Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia. (Guiping)
