Pizhou Cold Noodles

Pizhou Cold Noodles

　　Pizhou’s cold noodles are a completely different concept from those in other regions.

　　In other areas, cold noodles are typically eaten in the summer, but Pizhou’s cold noodles enjoy year-round popularity. The most alluring aspects are the soup and the condiments such as chili. In winter, hot soup is used, and in summer, cold soup is served. The chili is pan-fried, then crushed together with peanuts and sesame seeds, and drizzled with hot or sesame oil. At first bite, it might not seem extraordinary, but once you stop eating, you’ll feel an emptiness in your heart.
