Zichang Bowl Noodles

　　The bowl noodles are made by mixing buckwheat flour with water to form a dough, then adding a small amount of water and kneading. After it’s evenly mixed, continue adding water and kneading until it becomes a paste. Then dilute it with more water (you can also use peeled buckwheat kernels, soak them in an appropriate amount of water for about 10 minutes, place them on a cutting board and crush them with a rolling pin, put them in a basin, add water and mix into a dough, then add a small amount of water and knead again, after which dilute with water and filter through a sieve). The mixture is then poured into bowls, steamed, and removed from the steamer. Once cooled, it is turned out of the bowls. When eating, slice it thinly or shred it with a fork, and serve with mashed garlic, sesame oil soup, or spicy liver salad. It has a refreshing and palatable flavor.
