Yingxian Cold Noodles

Last updated 2026-11-11 — Yingxian Cold Noodles are made from potato starch. They are a local snack with a distinctive flavor. Vendors selling them can be found on the streets all year round. Especially in summer, cold noodle stalls are especially numerous and can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys. Not only are Yingxian Cold Noodles widely available, but they also have a unique taste. Their characteristics are: first, they have a high water content (the weight ratio of starch to water is about one to ten), and they are soaked in cold water until just before being sold. Second, the production process is meticulous. Third, the seasoning is exquisite. Ingredients such as salt, soy sauce, chili, vinegar, sesame oil, monosodium glutamate, mustard, and scallions are all readily available, offering a full range of flavors. Served with finely shredded dried tofu, they are excellent in color, aroma, and taste.
