Because old Beijingers like eating noodles with soybean paste very much, there is a jingle like this among the people: "Green beans are in the mouth, Chinese toon sprouts are in the mouth, blanch the leeks and cut them into sections; mince the celery, slice the lettuce, and break the garlic into pieces." Two petals; bean sprouts, remove the roots, and cucumbers with thorny top flowers should be cut into thin strips; if you feel good, cut into several batches, blanch the beans and chop them into cubes, and radish with green tassels; drizzle with chili and sesame oil A little bit, the mustard is so spicy that the noodles are spicy. Although there is only a small bowl of fried noodles, there are seven plates and eight bowls of noodles."

Braised pork belly is a traditional snack in Beijing. It originated from a place called Nanheng Street in the south of Beijing. During the Guangxu period, pork belly was very expensive, so people used relatively cheap pig heads. Meat and pig offal were used instead. After cooking, the taste was very special and loved by everyone, so it was passed down and became the braised pork BBQ to this day. Braised pork BBQ is to combine pig intestines, pig lungs, pig heart, pork liver, etc. The pigs are boiled together in water, supplemented with marinated tofu sauce, garlic sauce and other seasonings. The strong seasonings are used to cover up the taste of the raw materials, making people eat it with endless aftertaste and praise.
