Ham and Chicken Offal Rice Noodles

Ham and Chicken Offal Rice Noodles

　　Ham and Chicken Offal Rice Noodles is a traditional delicacy that the Bai people in Heqing must eat during the Qingming Festival, and it is also a famous dish served to honored guests. It uses carefully selected ingredients, is exquisitely prepared, and has a unique seasoning. The finished dish is fragrant, sweet and slightly spicy, with the rice noodles and glutinous cakes being smooth and fine without any grit, and the ham and chicken offal leaving a lingering aftertaste. 　　“There are eighteen oddities in Yunnan, where flatcakes are called 'ěr' (with the 'rice' radical on the left and the 'fast' radical on the right).” Speaking of Yunnan’s 'ěr' (with the 'rice' radical on the left and the 'fast' radical on the right), it actually has long been documented. The "Rites of Zhou" recorded the consumption of 'ěr.' Some ancient texts describe the method of making 'ěr' as washing the rice clean, steaming it in a pot, then taking it out and mashing it into a cake shape. The method of making 'ěr' thousands of years ago is basically the same as the method used today, so Yunnan's 'ěr' is 'ancient' rather than 'odd.' 　　The preparation of Ham and Chicken Offal Rice Noodles is largely the same as that of Kunming’s stir-fried 'ěr.'
