The various noodles in Xi'an are similar to the fried sauce noodles in old Beijing. The taste made by each household is different. There is no telling who is more authentic. What they want is the familiar taste and the comfortable aroma. <br /><br />Shaanxi pulled noodles, also known as ramen, dragged noodles, pulled noodles, Zhentiao noodles, Xianggu noodles, etc., are said to have a history of more than 3000 years. Oil doused noodles were developed and evolved on the basis of "Li Noodles" in the Zhou Dynasty; in the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were called "soup cakes", which belonged to the category of "boiled cakes"; in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were called "Changsheng Noodles", which meant that they were put into the pot and cooked continuously for a long time; in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, they were renamed "Water Shuikou Noodles".

The traditional snack in old Beijing,"fried dumplings", has a history of hundreds of years. It belongs to one of the halal snacks and is deeply loved by most people in Beijing. In the past, Peking Opera master Ma Lianliang and other masters also liked this snack very much. It is said that Mr. Ma often goes to "Enyuanju" after the evening performance to order a plate of fried dumplings, and then eats while chatting with the boss. He appreciates and likes this bite very much, and he eats it with gusto every time, haha! <br />The authentic way to "stir-fry bumps" is to put a little salt in the flour and then use water to make a hard dough. After the dough is mixed, it takes three to four hours before making it before it is delicious. During the production process, you cannot use a knife to cut the dough into diced dough, but use your hands to squeeze it into small dough pimples. After pulling it, you can rub it with your hands. The pimples made in this way taste smooth, chewy, and are not dead. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes! <br />"Stir-fried pimples" is a vegetarian diet. The ingredients for making stir-fried pimples are generally used. Water-dried green beans, carrot grains, garlic sprouts, and cucumber grains are the most authentic ingredients. Why dice it? Because the ingredients will appear bigger when they are diced, so it is better to chop them smaller than the dices. Sprinkle a little minced garlic when you take out of the pot, and it will taste authentic! <br />Today, make this old Beijing traditional snack "stir-fried pimples".

Ma Shi is a kind of pasta food similar to cat ears. It seems that only Shaanxi people have given it this strange name. Stewed sesame food is a family snack in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and is very popular especially in Xi'an and surrounding areas. Handmade hemp food has a strong taste and a strong soup. If you add your favorite seasonal vegetables to the soup, you can make a variety of patterns. Although everything is always true and it is always sesame food, wouldn't it be great to be able to change soup and vegetables according to your temperament, and to eat special sesame food!
