Sweet potato (English: sweet potato), whose scientific name is sweet potato, is rich in protein, starch, pectin, cellulose, amino acids, vitamins and various minerals, and is known as the "longevity food". The sugar content reaches 15%-20%. It has anti-cancer, heart protection, prevention of emphysema, diabetes, weight loss and other effects. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Ming Dynasty recorded that "sweet potatoes can replenish deficiency, strengthen the spleen and appetite, and strengthen kidney yin". Traditional Chinese medicine regards sweet potatoes as a good medicine.

In the 1960s and 1970s, food was extremely scarce in Weibei. Since sweet potatoes have a high starch content and can quickly replenish physical energy and fill the stomach, the older generation tried their best to make them. It has created many delicious foods that have become fond memories of our childhood, especially sweet potato noodles, sweet potato noodles, and sweet potato noodles.

The sweet potato noodles are shaved. Each root is about centimeters long, with one side thick and one thin. It looks like the pulled noodles in Guanzhong. The difference lies in the use of the knife. The specific method is: mix an appropriate proportion of wheat noodles and sweet potato noodles with water, let it rest for about 30 minutes, then place it on the chopping board and flatten it, divide it into portions, use a rolling pin to roll it to 1-2 cm thick, and shape it with a side knife. Just like noodles, put it into a pot of boiling water. When it is about nine times cooked, add the pre-cut green vegetables. After they are peeled and the vegetables are cooked, put them into a bowl and add salt, garlic paste, vinegar and chili oil. , and pour an appropriate amount of noodle soup.

When kneading sweet potato noodles, mix a certain proportion of wheat flour and sweet potato noodles evenly, add boiling water little by little and use chopsticks to stir into a flocculent shape, and knead into a soft and hard dough. Wake up for 20 minutes, roll out and cut into finger-thick strips, round, cut into 2-3 cm pieces, press down with your thumbs to shape. Remove from the pot, put into a bowl, mix with the prepared onions, ginger, garlic, green vegetables and seasoning water and serve.

The method of making sweet potato noodles is to add an appropriate amount of wheat noodles to the sweet potato noodles, mix the noodles with warm water, and then use a special dough bed to directly press the noodles into a pot of boiling water and cook until they are eighty-ripe. Take it out and dry it for ready consumption. Because the cooled sweet potato noodles are hard and tough, even if they are thoroughly cooked and mixed with various side dishes and seasonings, it is difficult to swallow, so it is also called "steel rope".
