Xuyong Bean Soup Noodles

Last updated 2026-11-15 — Xuyong Bean Soup Noodles originated in the late Qing Dynasty and are a famous snack in southern Sichuan. These noodles have strong regional characteristics, primarily using alkali-added fine noodles, wide noodles, "er ye zi" (a type of flat noodle), and "ta ta mian" (a type of thick noodle). They offer a unique flavor, are affordable for the general public, and widely accepted. Bean Soup Noodles are a staple breakfast food for locals in Xuyong and also a satisfying late-night snack. They are among the hometown dishes most missed by Xuyong natives living abroad, as well as a must-try local specialty for visitors to Xuyong—so much so that there’s a saying: “If you don’t try the bean soup noodles, you haven’t really been to Xuyong.” The flavor is known for being savory, with a refreshing broth, pearl-like large white peas, rich starchiness, and a deliciously lingering taste.
