One of the most famous foods in Lanzhou is beef noodles. Beef noodles are usually served for breakfast and lunch. Lanzhou people generally don’t eat them at night. The biggest reason for not eating them is because of Lanzhou beef noodles. The soup is usually made in the morning. If the soup is used until evening, the taste will be affected. Therefore, Lanzhou people do not eat beef noodles in the evening, and some people choose beef noodles for breakfast. Lanzhou Beef Noodles
Not everyone in Lanzhou eats beef noodles in the morning. Most of the people who eat beef noodles are students and office workers. In fact, there are still a large number of people who feel that eating noodles early in the morning is not a good idea. A bit hard to swallow. Soy milk and fried dough sticks
Some people in Lanzhou still choose soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning. More and more people use soy milk machines to make soy milk at home. Making soy milk saves time and effort, and it is also popular as a breakfast in Lanzhou. , those who are busy at work or in a hurry will also choose to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks nearby to take away. This kind of breakfast is easy to carry and will not make you thirsty after eating beef noodles, so it is favored by many people. La Tiaozi
People in Lanzhou still eat La Tiaozi early in the morning, but these are a very small number of people. Some people who like noodles very much will even cook a bowl of La Tiaozi noodles early in the morning. , usually people who do physical work will be like this, because they will not be hungry all day after eating, eat well in the morning, and be energetic all day long. Lotus leaf pickled vegetables
Many students in Lanzhou eat lotus leaf pickled vegetables in the morning. Most of these are sold near the school by dedicated people pushing carts. There are also many kinds of lotus leaf pickled vegetables. , but the most popular thing is potato shreds. Potatoes are very popular in Lanzhou. Potatoes can be fried, boiled, fried, barbecued, eaten cold, etc. Old Beijing Instant Noodles
There is another type of instant noodles that is known as a classic breakfast for students. It is eaten by students not only in Lanzhou but also in most places in Gansu. It is Beijing instant noodles. Many people have eaten it since childhood. This kind of instant noodles is just called this name. In fact, it is produced in Henan and has nothing to do with Beijing.

Many people in Lanzhou eat Xiao Long Bao in the morning, and there are also many steamed bun shops in Lanzhou, such as Nanjing Xiao Long Bao, Tianjin Steamed Bun, etc. Haggis offal
There are many Hui people in Lanzhou, so there is a breakfast called haggis offal which is very popular in Lanzhou. There are also beef offal, mutton noodle soup, beef noodle soup and so on. These prices are the same as beef noodle soup. Breakfasts such as noodles are a little more expensive compared to other breakfasts, and many people don’t like the taste of sweetbread soup, so it is considered a relatively niche breakfast. Lanzhou Saozi Noodles
Lanzhou Saozi Noodles are also eaten in the morning. Most of them are made at home. Tofu, potatoes, fungus, vermicelli, coriander, meat, etc. are cut into small pieces to make Saozi Soup. It tastes very good when eaten below. Some rural families will hold banquets in the large courtyards of their homes.

Poached eggs are a common breakfast for families. They are to beat the eggs in boiling water, add some salt and other seasonings and eat them. This kind of breakfast is relatively rare now. I think the elderly in rural areas like to make it. Breakfast is still very nutritious. Bulk milk bread
Milk bread is also relatively common in urban households. Many people choose to buy bulk milk. Some people in Lanzhou specialize in selling milk from their own cows. This kind of milk is cheap and of high quality. It is better to heat it in the morning and eat it with bread. It is nutritious and delicious.
Lanzhou people still have a rich breakfast. People in different living environments, different occupations, and people of different ages eat different things. But no matter what, you must eat breakfast. It is good for the body. It's better. Are there any other breakfasts that I didn't think of? Welcome to add in the comment area.
The most famous food in Lanzhou is beef noodles. Beef noodles are usually served for breakfast and lunch. More than 80% of Lanzhou people eat beef noodles in the morning. Beef noodles are one of Lanzhou’s external promotions. Food business card.
Cow! Meat! noodle!
Beef noodles are Lanzhou people’s favorite breakfast. Old Lanzhou people have the best say in its taste. If you haven’t eaten beef noodles for more than ten years, you can’t compare which one is better.
The price of beef noodles in Lanzhou is 6 to 7 yuan. Some of the beef in the bowl is one or two small slices, and some are some diced beef. This is also the so-called low-priced portion. If you want to eat more beef, you can also order one. Beef for 6 yuan, a piece of cake for 1 yuan.
Friends who go to Lanzhou for the first time can try some well-known ones.
Ma Zilu, Jinding, Amber, Wumule, Guobao, Zhanguo, Oriental Palace, Jianjian...
These can basically be found in various food guides , I personally think the taste is indeed worthy of Lanzhou’s signature name. Moreover, the locations of several stores are not difficult to find. They are either close to the Yellow River scenery line, or they are located in downtown areas or in the center of scenic spots.
In the external promotion of beef noodles, "one clear, two white, three red, four green and five yellow" are used as the standard.
"Yiqing" is placed first, which shows the importance of broth to a bowl of noodles. The soup is clear and fragrant, which is a requirement for the raw materials and the level of soup making. The ones I have eaten in Lanzhou have the same characteristic, that is, the soup is less salty than in Beijing, but the fragrance can still faintly float into the air despite the strong spicy flavor. It is said that one of the reasons why most beef noodle restaurants in Lanzhou close in the afternoon is that the beef soup that is freshly cooked every day affects the taste after being left for a long time. The best soup is the first pot of soup in the morning. I don’t know if this has something to do with the habits of Lanzhou people. Whether there is any connection between eating noodles in the morning has not yet been verified.
"Erbai" means that the radish slices in the noodles should be white and translucent. I have always had two questions about radish. One is what does the whiteness of the radish slices mean? The second one is why do we add radish to the noodles? The first one is not yet known. Regarding the second one, according to ancient books, it is because radish can relieve the heat of wheat noodles.
The "three reds", "four greens" and "five yellows" refer to spicy pepper, green garlic, coriander and noodles respectively. The chili pepper is red and bright, with a strong fragrance but not "overbearing". It has a very northwest temperament. The vegetables are fresh and green, fragrant, and the color goes well with the spicy pepper. The last step is the noodles, which should be smooth and yellow in color. There are five kinds of round noodles, three kinds of flat noodles, plus the angular "buckwheat noodles". A master who knows how to cook all nine types is a qualified chef. I heard that each face shape has its own temperament. For example, "Er thin" means masculinity, "Leek leaf" gives you calmness, and "Xiao Kuan" gives you boldness and so on. It's very interesting.
I’m hungry, let’s go eat some noodles~
Just like outsiders think that Wuhan people’s breakfast consists of hot dry noodles, so do we outsiders. The same logic holds that Lanzhou people’s breakfast is served by ramen. An authentic girl from Lanzhou expressed dissatisfaction: "Our breakfast can be different for a month, who said we only have Lanzhou ramen!"
Although Lanzhou foodies seem to be quite low-key in the territory of China, Lanzhou people are very fond of breakfast. The emphasis is on regardless of era.
Of course, you still have to eat beef noodles. In addition, there is a kind of breakfast that shows off your wealth, such as oil tea, tofu, fried buns, and xiaolongbao... Lanzhou people never skimp on breakfast. Spend time on breakfast.
Camellia oleifera is a very popular breakfast, especially in the cold winter. A bowl of hot oleifera tea with five kernels is perfect.
Lanzhou people eat wontons. You can think of Lanzhou people in the northwest. They also divide wontons into large wontons, small wontons and cold wontons.
In addition to the "beef noodles" that old Lanzhou people love for breakfast, there is also the "lotus leaf cake" (actually a steamed bun with vegetables).
Cai Jia Mo is actually lotus leaf pancake with vegetables. Add vegetables to the spread lotus leaf pancake, touch various sauces, and eat elbow meat on the table. The lotus leaf cake is different, you can't even hold it in one hand.
In addition, there are also Shaomai, fried pancakes, scallion pancakes, fried pancakes, pot stickers... Although they are all available in other places, Lanzhou is different.
Lanzhou's siomai is mainly made of glutinous rice, with pork and bamboo shoots inside. The skin is thin and filled with plenty of stuffing. It is dipped in balsamic vinegar and is satisfying in one bite.
A handful of green onions, a ball of lard, and smeared with lard cake. Under the action of high temperature, the aroma penetrates into the bones. The scallion pancakes just out of the oven are still slightly hot, so you can break them easily. Open it, and you can hear the crackling sound with your ears!
Although I have eaten countless scallion pancakes, Yi Zhoujun was particularly impressed by Lanzhou’s scallion pancakes. I guess “lard lover” Cai Lam will also fall in love with Lanzhou for this, right?
Lanzhou’s pot stickers have thin skin, juicy texture, chewy skin, fresh and not greasy meat, and a crispy bottom. It is quite similar to pan-fried pan-fried pan-fried pan-fried rice dumplings, which are browned on the bottom but not mushy and have a fresh taste. Crispy and crispy, the dough is crystal clear, thin and tough, not sticky to the teeth, and has a pure wheat flavor.
It has to be said that Lanzhou people are very good at flour. Anyway, the snacks and delicacies with flour are not bad. Even ordinary white flour steamed buns are really delicious. The flowers have arrived.
Apart from a small bowl of beef noodles, Lanzhou people’s breakfast is similar to other places, such as fried dough sticks, fried dough cakes, soy milk, tofu curd, various steamed buns, etc. Attached are pictures of the fried dough sticks, fried dough cakes and steamed buns I made. Take a look
In addition to the beef noodles that Lanzhou people like to eat, there are the following breakfast options in Lanzhou in the early morning!
Lotus leaf cake
A very down-to-earth breakfast in Lanzhou, you can choose it with vegetables and meat, completely according to your own taste, affordable and delicious food. They are sold on small carts in the streets and alleys, and the price is more than 3 yuan.
Fried dough sticks, soy milk, and tofu
Wherever there is breakfast, there is a three-piece set as standard. However, the nutritional value of fried dough sticks is very low, so it is recommended to eat less.
Generally, the price of soy milk is 2 yuan/bowl, the price of fried dough sticks is 2 yuan/bowl, and the price of tofu is 3 yuan/bowl
Xiaolongbao
In the early morning in Lanzhou, in addition to the beef noodle restaurant that opens early, there is also a steamed bun restaurant. The so-called Hangzhou Xiao Long Bao in Lanzhou is much larger than the authentic Hangzhou Xiao Long Bao. It is usually filled with pork filling. Vegetarian steamed buns include potato, carrot, vermicelli, and lotus root.
The price of a cage of steamed buns is about 10 yuan, and each cage contains about ten.
Roujiamo
Lanzhou’s Roujiamo is different from Shaanxi’s Roujiamo. The commonly used Roujiamo is called “Guo Chuan”. The meat is called braised pork. Lanzhou people like to cut the meat into large pieces and put it into the pot to eat.
The price of braised pork is 35 yuan/catty, and the price of pot cubes is 1 yuan/piece. Generally, breakfast stalls mainly serve Shaanxi Roujiamo, and the price is around 6 yuan.
There are other popular breakfasts all over the country, which can also be seen on the streets of Lanzhou. For example, pancakes, hand cakes, porridge, eggs, egg-filled cakes, etc. . .
In the impression of many foreign friends, Lanzhou people’s breakfast may be a bowl of beef noodles every day. Yes, Lanzhou people have a special affection for pasta, especially beef noodles, which are a gourmet business card of Lanzhou to the outside world. However, with the diversification of food, Lanzhou people actually have a very rich variety of breakfast options besides beef noodles. Divided by group of people, different groups of people eat different breakfasts: Office workers
Among the people who eat beef noodles, it can be said that office workers make up a large proportion of people who eat beef noodles. Because office workers have to arrive at work on time, eating beef noodles is convenient and time-saving.
Elderly people staying at home
Elderly people who stay at home generally like to cook by themselves. According to the eating habits of Lanzhou people, some people drink oil tea, some drink porridge, and some drink milk or noodle soup in the morning. Students
Students usually get up very early. Most of them eat outside, some eat beef noodles, some eat soy milk and fried dough sticks, but most of them buy food near the school gate. As soon as the sandwich is eaten, it is done for the sake of convenience and trouble.
Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, people living in Lanzhou, Gansu, have a bowl of steaming beef noodles after getting up in the morning. This real sense of "satisfaction" seems to keep people motivated for the rest of the day's activities. According to rough statistics, there are thousands of beef noodle restaurants in Lanzhou, selling more than 1 million bowls of beef noodles every day. A bowl of fragrant Lanzhou beef noodles only takes about 2 minutes from the time the customer orders it to the time it is made, so this is an important reason why beef noodles become breakfast in Lanzhou. Authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, the beef soup is fresh and fragrant; the radish slices are white and pure; the chili oil is bright red and floating; the coriander and garlic sprouts are fresh and green; and the noodles are smooth and yellow. In addition to noodles, you can also order a plate of braised beef and side dishes. In the eyes of Lanzhou people, all the delicacies in the world can be found in these simple items. Lanzhou beef noodles pay great attention to the texture of the noodles. The so-called "tendon" means that food is tough and resistant to chewing. Only noodles made from dough that has been kneaded many times can satisfy the picky taste requirements of Chinese people. Therefore, making noodles is a physical job and requires young men to complete it. The ramen chef's day's work begins with kneading the dough. In order for the mixed dough to meet the requirements of stretchability and elasticity, it must be slightly awake for a while before being put into the pot, that is, it must be placed in a non-ventilated place for a while for secondary fermentation. The dough in the picture is in the "rising" process. For ramen, cooking the meat and mixing the soup are the key. This is also the secret skill of the noodle shop. Only the owner of the noodle shop masters the secret. This is why there are thousands of noodle restaurants with different tastes. When the meat is cooked well, the soup will be good. Larger noodle restaurants sell nearly a thousand kilograms of cooked beef every day as a side dish for beef noodles. Lanzhou beef noodles pay attention to "one clear, two white, three red, and four green", and clear means "clear soup". "The soup is clear and delicious" is also a common requirement of Chinese people for "soup". Compared with the viscous "soup" in the West, Chinese people prefer the refreshing taste of "soup". In the past, beef noodle shops in Lanzhou would serve a bowl of hot beef soup to diners when they came in. After drinking it, they would wake up and feel refreshed. In this way, diners would often eat more than their usual amount of beef noodles. I ate a bowl of noodles until my hair was sweating, and at the end I had to drink up all the spicy and sour soup to achieve a state of overall comfort. Let’s start the ramen! With only a pair of skillful hands, the ramen master can conjure noodles of various shapes. The locals named the ramen noodles of different thicknesses with big width, chive leaf, erxi, and capillary. The ramen that looks like silver threads in the picture is "Capillary". Garlic sprouts and coriander are essential seasonings for beef noodles, and both constitute the "four green" elements of Lanzhou beef noodles. Cutting into fine pieces is a necessary step for the master. Po's knife skills in "Kung Fu Panda" are said to be based on the skills of Lanzhou ramen masters. The red spicy pepper is the “finishing touch” of Lanzhou Beef Noodles. This kind of pepper looks spicy, but it's actually not very exciting. The role of seasoning and coloring is more important. The cooked noodles are covered with fragrant cooked beef, "one clear, two white, three red and four green", and a bowl of authentic Lanzhou beef noodles is made: the breakfast of Lanzhou people begins. The satisfied expressions on the diners’ faces are the best proof of the deliciousness of Lanzhou beef noodles. After finishing this bowl of noodles, it’s time to start running around for the day.
Lanzhou is located in the northwest region of my country. It can be said that there are quite a lot of delicious local delicacies. For example, everyone may have tasted Lanzhou’s beef noodles and Lanzhou ramen, as well as Tianshui’s Guagua and Pingliang. Mutton steamed buns, Qingyang braised noodles, potato dumplings, lazy dumplings, big meat noodles, Hezhou steamed buns, glutinous rice cakes and butter tea are all relatively famous.
If the locals eat breakfast.
Generally, steamed buns are the main dish. After all, people in the northern region of our country particularly like to eat steamed buns. The glutinous rice cakes that the locals love to eat are also very famous. They are also paired with butter tea, which tastes particularly fragrant, and tofu. Nao is also a favorite soup among locals, but spicy soup in the north is not popular locally.
Lanzhou people’s breakfast also includes fried dough sticks, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, soup dumplings, etc., which are also particularly delicious. The egg pancakes at the entrance of No. 66 Middle School, the lotus leaf pancakes in the northwest middle school cafeteria, Chicken fillet pancakes, pancakes with ham, etc. are all common breakfast items in Lanzhou. I wonder what kind of breakfast you have there?
