Gamian

Noodles are a kind of pasta that Qinghai people like, and his method is extremely simple. Because the vegetables or meat used in different parts of Qinghai have different tastes. In plateau areas, the climate is cold. In the past, there were no fresh vegetables in winter, so the local people ate a handful of ripe melon rice. Now the living conditions are better, the transportation and planting techniques are improved, and the ingredients used for noodles are diversified. All kinds of vegetables and meat can be made into noodles.

Sweet sugar

Candied fruit is one of the special snacks in Qinghai. It is made of oats or highland barley and tastes mellow, cool and sweet. If you go to Xining, the ancient city of Qinghai, you can see this kind of folk snack everywhere on the street.
