Flavored Minjie Noodles

Flavored Minjie Noodles

　　In the northern Shaanxi dialect, "minjie" is pronounced as "minjiēr," hence it is also written as "minjian." The mixed flour used is made from ground peas and wheat, kneaded with water into a soft dough, then pressed through a sieve-like minjie mold with the palm of the hand, resulting in short, inch-long pieces. Minjie noodles are nutritious, light in flavor, delicious, and easy to digest. (Yan'an)
