　　Sheep Offal Noodles in Broth

　　After winter sets in Zhongwei, old sheep lose weight, and there is a local custom of slaughtering them while they still have some fat. During this time, sheep offal is abundant and inexpensive, but cleaning and preparing it is quite labor-intensive. As a result, specialized workshops set up stalls along the streets to sell it. This makes for a delicious and hearty winter breakfast. Paired with locally brewed yellow wine, it not only satisfies hunger but also helps keep the body warm. Its characteristics are clear broth with tender meat and no gamy taste. Radish slices are added to the broth, making it rich yet not greasy. It can be eaten with soaked flatbread or mixed with noodles.
