In the pasta rivers and lakes, in addition to the above three provinces, there is another place that cannot be ignored, and that is Gansu.
When people think of Gansu, what comes to mind first?
Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, of course!
However, Gansu people don't call it that. Locals admire Lanzhou beef noodles.
The difference between the two really puzzles many foreigners.
Let's take a look at Gansu's 10 pasta, and see how many have you eaten? (For reference only, text/travel)
According to Lanzhou people, this is the authentic Lamian Noodles, but there are still some differences between it and Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, which is eaten by people all over the country. After all, authentic food can only be tasted locally, which is closely related to many factors such as regional culture and natural environment, such as water, which may not be obvious on the surface. For example, making tea with water is easy to distinguish different places, which may be the uniqueness of food culture.
Lanzhou beef noodles originated in the Qing Dynasty and are known as "the first side of China". In its early days, it was famous for its unique flavor such as clear soup, fragrant carrion and fine noodles. Later generations inherited and improved, and Huang Wu unified the standard of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles into one clear, two white, three red and four green.
In addition to flour, beef and other ingredients, there are radishes, which may be rare in Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant all over the country, which is one of the differences between Lanzhou Beef Noodles and Lanzhou Lamian Noodles.
After continuous development, some have been commercialized, and some have inherited the original flavor. Gradually, Lanzhou Lamian Noodles and Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles have different trends, but on the whole, they are very popular with diners. Their souls may be hidden in soup, noodles, or even more likely in that thin piece of beef.
In addition to Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles, there are many kinds of pasta in Gansu, which may not be as popular and famous as the former, so many people don't know it, but it is still a delicious food that can't be ignored in Gansu, such as silver noodles.
The essence of this bowl of noodles should be on the big meat of the big meat noodles. It looks delicious and tastes delicious. Its history may have originated in the 1970s. If you have friends who study pasta, you should find that there are many meaty noodles all over the country, such as Tengzhou, Shandong, which is famous far and near. This kind of noodles is similar in practice, but there are some differences. Baiyin Darou Noodles more or less borrowed from Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles, and then,
Just looking at the name, I thought it was a kind of food for holidays. Actually, it is not. Beef rice is also a kind of pasta. Although there is no noodle in the name, it is mainly made of flour, beef and other ingredients. It is one of the most famous breakfast foods in Zhangye, Gansu.
Rubbing fish noodles, as the name implies, is named after its finished product, which is thick in the middle and sharp in the shape of a small fish.
This is also one of Zhang Ye's pasta dishes, which is a bit complicated. You can eat it dry or stir-fry. Shanxi and Shaanxi also have similar fish noodles, but there are still great differences.
Along the river is Linxia cuisine, known as Longshang cuisine. It also originated from the most famous "fried noodles" in the 1970s, with flour, mutton and other ingredients as the main ingredients. It has a unique flavor and is very popular.
Noodles are very popular in the north, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places, and are also very common in Gansu. Different places have different practices, so it can be regarded as an ancient pasta. There are different opinions about its origin, which may be Pingliang area or Henan province.
When it comes to noodles with shame, many people think of Shaanxi too much. In fact, the noodles with minced meat in Gansu are also a unique flavor.
Minced meat noodles have a long history and are very popular in the northwest of China. They are a common pasta, such as Lanzhou noodles with minced meat, Zhangye noodles with minced meat and Dunhuang noodles with minced meat.
For outsiders, noodles are unfamiliar, and it is difficult to guess what kind of noodles it is just by listening to the name.
Its realization is noodle lasagna, which is a special pasta in Wuwei and Liangzhou areas of Gansu, so it is also called Wuwei noodles and Liangzhou noodles. Liangzhou cuisine "three sets of cars" is composed of Liangzhou noodles, braised pork, rock sugar, red dates and fucha. It is very famous in the northwest, and friends in the south may be a little strange. If you travel to Gansu and arrive in Liangzhou, you might as well have a taste and pass it on.
There are many kinds of pasta in Gansu, but unfortunately, many people don't know about it because of insufficient publicity, such as yellow noodles, which makes many people confused?
What is yellow noodles?
It can be said that when you come to Dunhuang, in addition to seeing exquisite murals, you must not miss the yellow noodles of Dunhuang donkey meat. It is said that there are scenes of making yellow noodles on the murals of Mogao Grottoes, and the combination of donkey meat and yellow noodles is unique.
The name of firecracker noodles is very unique. In fact, not only Zhangye has firecrackers, but also other places. Xinjiang is called "Fried firecrackers", and some places in Gansu are called "Fried Festival". The actual practice is to cook first and then fry. Because it looks like firecrackers, it is called firecracker noodle, which is a special pasta in northwest China.
