1, Empress steamed cold noodles

Sichuan Cuisine (10) - Introduction to the History and Culture of Guangyuan Cuisine

Empress steamed cold noodles are a special snack of the Han people in Sichuan, with five flavors: sour, sweet, spicy, spicy and fragrant. Full of Sichuan flavor. The cold noodles are so spicy that people blush and tingle, but they taste delicious. Today, the empress steamed cold noodles are still widely eaten in Wu Zetian's hometown, Sichuan Guangyuan, but in other places, it is almost difficult to eat authentic empress steamed cold noodles.

Later, Wu Meiniang became the female emperor, and she still remembered the "husband and wife rice cold noodles", and every birthday, she would order the imperial chef to cook a bowl of food for her, so that it would last until her heavenly year.

Today, the empress steamed cold noodles are still widely eaten in Wu Zetian's hometown, Sichuan Guangyuan, but in other places, it is almost difficult to eat authentic empress steamed cold noodles.

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang (Wu Zetian),the daughter of the Shangshu warrior of the Ministry of Works, was elected to the palace by Emperor Taizong of Tang at the age of 14. At that time, due to the difficulty of violating the king's fate, she had to leave her brother Chang Jianfeng, who had been a lover since she was a child. In addition to studying when she was young, Wu Meiniang often swam with Jianfeng in the river, and there was a noodle shop at the river bay ferry, and every time they swam across the river, they always had to eat a bowl at the noodle shop. Therefore, I became familiar with the shop owner, often eating and talking about the production of noodles, and after a period of time, I also had a deeper understanding of this. Later, they thought how good it would be to eat a cold noodle in the summer. So I experimented with the noodle shop master, and finally used rice milk to develop a soft and delicious, supple and non-sticky rice noodles. Mei Niang and Jian Feng happily hugged into a group, and the noodle shop master saw this scene and quipped to this pair of little lovers: This side is better to be called "husband and wife rice noodles" It just so happens that this day is the birthday of the beautiful woman, and the husband and wife rice noodles are born. As a result, it has become a local food that locals love to eat. Later, Mei Niang went to Kyoto Chang'an. Although she and Chang Jianfeng never became a couple, the couple's rice noodles were handed down.
