Shaanxi Noodle Snacks Zijuan
Spring is coming. When talking about spring, one cannot help but talk about spring leeks. They are fresh, tender, fragrant, and have very high nutritional value.

When it comes to leeks, what you can't help but talk about is Shaanxi's pasta snack: Zijuan. I don't know whether it should be a Zijuan, a sub-scroll or a paper roll. It seems that all three are right, but it also seems that there is something missing. Because in Shaanxi dialect, the pronunciation of paper, Zi and Zi is all the same. However, using any word alone cannot fully express the characteristics of this paper.

The classic combination of leeks and eggs is already very delicious. Add a bowl of sour, spicy and fragrant dipping sauce, and it is really beautiful!

Because when making a paper, the surface must be rolled very thin, just like a piece of paper, I personally feel that the paper roll may be more appropriate. But Zi and Zi cannot be lost.

Therefore, whether it is a Zijuan, a sub-scroll or a paper roll, you can decide whatever you like!
