The pasta made of oat flour has a honeycomb shape as a whole, and tomato and egg toppings can be poured on the oat flour, which has a unique taste.

2. Taiyuan mutton soup

I always think Taiyuan mutton soup is more distinctive. The mutton is cooked in advance, and the soup is boiled in a big pot. I remember when I was a child, there was a complete sheep skeleton in that big pot in the mutton soup. When eating, mutton, miscellaneous cuts and vermicelli are repeatedly scalded with soup, which can be eaten soon, usually accompanied by shortbread. The more authentic name is a big bowl of meat (miscellaneous) (plus two or two meats) and two cakes. It is worth mentioning that the soup is free. Too much direct a bowl of clear soup, the cake is full, but many foreign diners can't get used to the taste of mutton soup, so they can only sigh that they can't enjoy it.

3. Datong Daoxiao Noodles

Daoxiao Noodles in Datong, Shanxi Province is one of the "Top Ten Noodles in China" and one of the most representative business cards of Shanxi cuisine. Flour is agglomerated, and a curved knife cuts the dough pieces into a boiling pot. The noodles out of the pot are not as thin and long as other noodles, but thick in the middle and thin on both sides, like willow leaves.

The most famous Daoxiao Noodles in Shanxi is Datong, which is suitable for its width and thickness. It is served with your favorite minced meat, such as tomatoes and eggs, beef and pork. Although the meat is broken, it is delicious. Add a marinated egg, a Shanxi Guangling marinated bean curd, and a marinated pepper. Sprinkle chopped green onion with vinegar, and it tastes absolutely delicious. Keep it in mind that you will never forget to leave Shanxi after eating.

4, miscellaneous sheep cutting

Shanxi people love to eat miscellaneous sheep cutting, which is called miscellaneous sheep cutting in many places. The history of eating miscellaneous sheep cutting in Shanxi can be traced back to the Warring States period, which has a history of thousands of years.

Mutton chop suey is characterized by its three soups. The soup after mutton chop is the first soup, and the soup after mutton bone is the second soup. After mixing the first soup and the second soup, put it into mutton chop and vermicelli to boil, it is the three-soup mutton chop suey.

add Chili oil, mature vinegar, coriander and salt to taste, which is called a fragrance. Datong people like to put more Chili oil when they eat haggis. This Chili oil is fried with sheep and is very fragrant. It is delicious for local people to cut sheep offal, but many foreign diners can't accept the peculiar smell of sheep offal for the first time.

5. Oil-sprinkled noodles

Oil-sprinkled noodles on the flat land are cooked and put into a bowl. Pour in the most distinctive local oil-sprinkled seeds and other seasonings. Dry-mixed noodles are added with meat and minced meat as big as peanuts. The salty flavor is moderate, the chewiness of the meat is just right, and a bowl of hot noodle soup is added after eating. At this time, with the sun shining slightly on your face after a meal, you will have a feeling of stealing for half a day.

We all know that Shanxi people like noodles, so why do Shanxi people love pasta?

since ancient times, there have been differences in planting rice in the south and wheat in the north, and this is also the case now; In addition, the causes of the traditional eating habits of Chinese people are clear.
