The traditional food in Shanxi is pasta.

Fish-pulling is a kind of pasta. It is to put the mixed noodles on a plate and slowly row them from the edge of the plate to the pot with a chopstick or an iron bar. Because it is shaped like a small fish and pulled into the pot, it is called fish-pulling. The tips are slender at both ends, and the middle part is slightly generous, white, smooth, soft and muscular. It is poured with toppings, and then served with seasonings. It is very tasty.

generally speaking, white flour, sorghum flour (usually with elm bark), miscellaneous grains flour, red flour, etc. can all be used to make picking tips. An expert can use a special pick board and iron chopsticks to pick the red noodles, the thickness of which is only about .5 cm, and it can be eaten by more than a dozen young people at the same time in half an hour. The skill and speed of picking tips are amazing, and picking tips with white flour is a specialty of housewives in central China, which is faster and more changeable than picking tips with red flour.
