Kui Shan Noodles

　　Kui Shan Noodles are a specialty of Kui Shan Township, Shizong County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province. Made from locally sourced high-quality wheat in Kui Shan, the noodles undergo meticulous processes including selection, washing, sun-drying, hulling, fine grinding, and repeated pressing. They contain no food additives and are known for their delicate texture, crispy fragrance, purity, and delicious taste.

　　Kui Shan Noodles are produced in Xiaozhai Village, Wakuai Village Committee, Kui Shan Town, and enjoy an excellent reputation and high quality. Once cooked, they have a clean white color, pleasant taste, strong toughness and smoothness, along with a distinct wheat aroma. They are highly favored by customers and consumers alike. The product has successfully entered markets in Guangzhou, Kunming, Qujing, and surrounding counties and cities, where demand exceeds supply, indicating broad market prospects and good economic benefits.

　　In terms of how to eat Kui Shan Noodles, they are typically boiled in chicken soup, pork rib soup, or cured meat broth, then poured into a bowl and topped with cooked noodles, along with chopped green onions and ginger. Some prefer to use only refined salt, monosodium glutamate, chopped green onions, and rendered lard, mixed with boiling water, then add the cooked noodles, stir well, and serve. A popular folk “four-character rhyme” best describes Kui Shan Noodles: Golden and glossy, a strand in hand, resilient and unbroken, set ablaze, it hisses to an end; boiled in the pot, it stays clear for long, returned to the pot after eating, the strands stay apart; chewed in the mouth, the texture shines through; a bowl on the table fills the room with fragrance.

　　For many years, Kui Shan Noodles have consistently used locally sourced high-quality wheat as the main ingredient, along with supplements such as eggs and sesame oil, and have never used any food additives. The noodles have been registered under the trademark "Jade Belt Fragrance" (Yudai Xiang). Meanwhile, five households from Xiaozhai Village, Wakuai Village Committee, have organized a Kui Shan Noodles production cooperative, registered and obtained a business license from the county Administration for Industry and Commerce, and are benefiting from tax exemption support policies.
