Handmade Vermicelli from Nanjian

　　Handmade vermicelli from Nanjian is a specialty of Nanjian County in Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Since the period of the Republic of China, Nanjian has been producing handmade vermicelli, which was once exported to places such as Myanmar.

　　The handmade vermicelli from Nanjian has the following characteristics: first, the vermicelli is made from broad beans and peas without any additives or substitutes; second, the entire production process is done manually, resulting in low production efficiency and limited output; third, before eating, Nanjian handmade vermicelli needs to be boiled for one to two hours and will not fall apart— the longer it is boiled, the more transparent and delicious it becomes. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it retains its original flavor no matter what dish it is cooked in.
