Small noodles are spicy vegetarian noodles flavored with onions, garlic, sauce, vinegar and chili peppers. But in the old Chongqing discourse, even noodles with luxurious toppings such as beef fried sauce and pork ribs are called small noodles, e.g., noodles with beef, fat intestines and pea fried sauce.

Chongqing noodles are made from "water", which is not the usual hanging noodles, but noodles that contain water. Chongqing people don't usually make their own noodles, but rather buy them directly. The noodles come in different thicknesses, so you are free to choose according to your own preferences. The most crucial thing about Chongqing small noodles is the seasoning, a bowl of Chongqing small noodles, the seasoning will determine the flavor of its good or bad.
