Laibin Old Friend Noodles

Laibin Old Friend Noodles

　　These are noodles with a history of over a hundred years. It is said that an elderly man used to visit Zhouji Teahouse every day for tea. One day, due to a cold, he didn’t go to the teahouse. The owner of Zhouji then prepared a bowl of hot noodles made with premium noodles, stir-fried minced garlic, fermented black beans, chili, sour bamboo shoots, minced beef, pepper, and more, and sent it to his old friend. After eating it, the old man broke into a sweat and his symptoms eased. Hence, the dish was named “Old Friend Noodles.” This appetite-whetting and warming dish is deeply loved by diners and has remained popular through the years.
