The origin of many pastry is a story full of hardships, and Dan dan noodles are no exception. According to legend, Dan Dan noodles originated in the Daoguang years, a hawker named Chen BaoBao in Zigong, Sichuan Province, invented this noodle practice, carrying a burden around and selling it, and later gradually became popular and became familiar to us today. Because of the lack of detailed written records, it is impossible to know how the earliest Dan Dan noodles were made, but from the current popular practices, we can still faintly see the style of the vendors who worked tirelessly to pick up and sell: the amount of each noodle is not large, it is more to play the role of snack pad hunger, rather than let you shake off the cheeks to eat until the stomach is rolling round, in addition, the Dan Dan noodles belong to the dry mix noodles, the soup is not much, so it is suitable for picking and selling.
