Grilled cold noodles originated in a border town in Heilongjiang Province: Mishan. Mishan belongs to Jixi City, a city famous for pickles and Jixi big cold noodles. It is said that in 1997, a stall in front of the second middle school in Mishan City, the stall owner had planned to buy cold noodles to eat at night, the number was very small and only a few, the result was fried in the oil pot at the request of the students, the cold panel was relatively thick, I thought that the fried noodles would be hard and crispy, the result was just the opposite, after the frying was brushed with hot sauce, loose and soft, and when eating, the taste was surprisingly good. Several cold panels sold out in just a few minutes. Even the stall owner himself was amazed that such a misplaced gourmet snack was invented. Later, small stall owners followed suit, because the vendors were not only oil pans, but also iron plate charcoal roasting. So there are cold noodles such as iron plates, charcoal grilling, and frying. After a period of time, fried noodles fell out of favor, and the sales of teppanyaki-baked cold noodles were much greater than those of fried noodles, becoming a favorite of customers! Then the dish of grilled cold noodles quickly became popular in the three eastern provinces.

The main sales point of this snack is the shopping mall, the railway station, the school entrance, it can be said that the baked cold noodles out of the pot, smell the people are hungry and crying! Later, some merchants improved and changed it, set up a charcoal fire, and baked the cold noodles that were not separated and treated with water separately, supplemented by various special spices.
