The traditional food "Diao Fish" in Shanxi is a kind of pasta.

Tiao Jian, also known as Tiao Fish and Tiao Gu, is one of the four traditional pasta dishes in Shanxi. Because the prepared noodles have two tips, it is called "picking the tips". Toilet tip, fish picking and turntable tip picking all evolved from tip picking.

The noodles picked out by picking the tip are slender at both ends and round in the middle. Because the middle is round like a fish belly, it is also called "picking fish". The finished tip looks white, thin and smooth, and tastes soft and refreshing. Pour the toppings on it, and add meat and vegetables to marinate it. It tastes fragrant and slippery, very delicious and unique.

the skill of picking noodles lies in the moment when the noodles leave the iron plate, stretching the noodles with the chopsticks head and quickly pulling them away from the iron plate with the chopsticks tail. White noodles, sorghum noodles, miscellaneous grains noodles, red noodles, etc. can all be made. The thickness of the made noodles is only about .5 cm, which is like small fish of different lengths in the pot.
