At that time, "Ryusu noodles" were made. Just cook it with water and then change the method of baking it. Therefore, it is called "baked noodles".
Carp roasted noodles are also a classic dish of Lu cuisine and Yu cuisine, prepared by two famous dishes, "sweet and sour boiled fish" and "roasted dragon su noodles".
There is also a legend about carp baked noodles
According to legend, when Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty fled, she stayed in Kaifeng, and the famous chefs of Kaifeng Province paid tribute to "sweet and sour boiled fish" and "baked noodles". After Cixi saw this, she said on a whim that the carp was lying quietly on the plate, probably asleep, and should be covered with a quilt to avoid getting cold.

It is characterized by its color jujube red, soft and tender and fragrant, and the baked noodles are as fine as hair, fluffy and crispy.
So what is the key to making this dish, of course, is the fish! It has to be the Yellow River carp!
There are more than 20 kinds of Chinese carp, of which the Yellow River carp is the first in the group for its body shape and tender meat. It is smooth and lovely, colorful, golden scales and red tail, tender flesh, containing 18% protein, 9 to 12% fat, and also contains a variety of amino acids necessary for the human body.
The Yellow River carp with golden scales and red tails is the most valuable carp in Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, which is related to its unique geographical location.
The middle reaches of the Yellow River are flat, the flow rate is slowed down, the trough is wide, and a large amount of sediment, leaves, grass seeds, insects and other substances washed down from the upper reaches are gathered here. Carp with mixed diet, fast growth, strong reproductive ability and wide adaptability grow rapidly in such waters with fertile water quality, abundant fodder and suitable climate.
Therefore, the carp caught in this area is full of fat and tender and delicious.
Let's talk about the origins of historical celebrities and the Yellow River carp
First, Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor. In 1900, the Eight-Power Alliance invaded Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi'an with the Guangxu Emperor. After the matter had calmed down, the two men slowly returned from Xi'an to the east. When they passed through Kaifeng, the city of Henan Province at that time, the master of Yu cuisine and the famous chef of Bieliang used the Yellow River carp to cook a "sweet and sour boiled fish", and Empress Dowager Cixi was full of praise after eating, and Ziyun "forgot to return after eating", and also wrote a couplet praising the Yellow River carp "Where the boiled fish comes out, the ancient Bizhou of the Central Plains". After tasting it, the Guangxu Emperor praised this dish as a delicacy of Gu Bian.
Second, Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai liked to eat fish, especially the Yellow River carp, of which the red-tailed carp produced in the heigangkou north of Kaifeng was the most famous, and the local people worshipped him every day. There is also a kind of large crucian carp, produced in a spring at the source of the Qihe River, several inches flat, delicious taste, but also better than the red-tailed carp, this place belongs to Henan Ji County (now Weihui City), the county is also ordered to fish up every day, the spring water is packed in large wooden barrels, transported to Beijing by train, Yuan prefers to eat.
3. Feng Guozhang. If the Yellow River carp that henan is enshrined in, if it cannot be eaten, Yuan Shikai will pick up the big one, hang a silver medal engraved with the word "Hong Xian" on the fish, and release it in Zhongnanhai. In the past, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty had released fish here, but they were all hung with gold medals. When Feng Guozhang, the dog of the "Three Masters of beiyang", became president, he began to fish in Zhongnanhai and sold all kinds of fish. The release of the imperial concubines in Zhongnanhai suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. On December 28, 1919, after Feng Guozhang's death, someone wrote such a couplet: "Where are the fish in the South China Sea, and there are no Beiyang dogs."
"Zhengzhou Yellow River Carp" has been successfully certified by the National Geographical Indication of Agricultural Products. "Zhengzhou Yellow River Carp" is characterized by golden scales and red tails, bright colors, beautiful appearance, delicate flesh, rich nutrition, commonly known as "copper head iron tail tofu waist".
