Fengqing Er Si (Rice Noodles)

Fengqing Er Si

　　Fengqing Er Si is generally prepared in two ways: boiled or stir-fried. For the boiled version, the rice noodles are cut into thin strips, scalded in boiling water, then served with shredded fresh pork or ham, meat broth or chicken soup, and seasoned with soy sauce, chopped green onions, cilantro, and a bit of pickled vegetables. For the stir-fried version, the rice noodles are cut into slices and mixed with sliced fresh pork, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, pea shoots or Chinese cabbage, along with other seasonings, and stir-fried in hot oil. This stir-fried dish is called "Chao Er Kuai" (Stir-Fried Rice Cake), and in Tengchong, it is also known as "Da Jiu Jia" (The Great Rescue).
