According to legend, in ancient times, there was a scholar in a place in southern Yunnan. In order to become famous, he studied hard, stayed up all night and forgot to eat or sleep. In order to concentrate and not be disturbed, he often goes to study on an island in the middle of the nearby South Lake. There are dense forests and bamboo forests here, picturesque and very quiet. There is a stone bridge by the lake, which extends to the center of the lake.
The scholar's wife is a very virtuous person. She scrimped and saved, and strongly supported her husband's study. Cook something delicious for my husband and send it to him every day. However, when her husband is reading, he often forgets to eat and sleep. Usually, when the food gets cold, he just takes a few bites and then continues reading. As time goes on, the husband's body is getting thinner and thinner. The wife sees it in her eyes and is anxious in her heart. One day, in order to mend her husband's health, she stewed an old hen, prepared a lot of rice noodles and sent them to him happily. In the evening, when she went to wash the dishes, her husband was still reading, and the chicken soup didn't move at all. When the lid is opened, the soup is still hot. It turned out that the thick layer of chicken oil on the surface of chicken soup covered the soup tightly, isolated the cold air outside and played a role in heat preservation. The wife scalded the rice noodles with chicken soup, and was happier when she saw her husband taste sweet. Since then, the clever wife has created a way to eat "crossing the bridge rice noodles". She sends chicken soup to her husband every day and scalds rice noodles with soup. I often bring some shredded pork, fresh fish and other fresh vegetables. These things are cooked in chicken soup. The taste is tender, smooth and delicious, so that my husband can avoid the pain of cold rice and ensure that he can study hard and achieve fame. Later, this way of eating gradually spread. Because every time a wife brings a meal to her husband, she has to cross the bridge in the lake, so people give this kind of rice noodle a name called "crossing the bridge rice noodle".
Features: fresh and delicious, unique flavor. People often say that going to Yunnan without crossing the bridge rice noodle is tantamount to running for nothing. Crossing the bridge rice noodles is a unique way to eat rice noodles and other foods in stewed chicken soup. People who go to Yunnan for the first time to eat this snack will laugh without asking others: chicken soup is very hot. Because there is a layer of chicken oil on the surface, there is no hot air at all. People who eat it for the first time often mistakenly think that the soup is not hot and drink it directly with their mouths, which can easily burn the oral skin. Therefore, never drink chicken soup directly with your mouth. When eating, you should eat raw slices first, and then cook the soup when the temperature is the highest. Some people don't know the secret. First, hot dishes and rice noodles. Then, when the temperature of the soup drops, the food that can't be eaten raw will not be cooked. The rice noodles crossing the bridge are strictly divided, and each person has a bowl of raw slices, chicken soup, vegetables and rice noodles. This is sanitary and not wasteful. Crossing the bridge rice noodles has a unique taste and elegant character among all kinds of snacks, which is the first of all traditional snacks. Some people say that "crossing the bridge rice noodles" is a Chinese western food, which is worth promoting. Rice flour is nutritious and convenient to eat, and it is very popular at home and abroad.
The rice noodles are delicious. They are all in the soup.
Many people know that the most authentic rice noodles are in Mengzi. This is one of the birthplaces of crossing the bridge rice noodles, which are made of big bowls, boiled soup, sliced meat and many ingredients. The waiter said that the rice noodles in Qiaoxiangyuan originated from Mengzi, Yunnan. After the soup is boiled, seal it with oil. When it was served, it looked like nothing. In fact, raw meat can be cooked at this temperature. Almost all the meat dishes in the ingredients of crossing the bridge rice noodles are raw, thinned with a blade and cooked with soup; There can be more than a dozen ingredients in a set of slightly superior rice noodles, including many native products of Yunnan, so Yunnan people call crossing the bridge rice noodles a set of rice noodles.
Looking at the white and tender rice noodles in the bowl, after listening to the waiter's suggestion, I carefully picked them up and took a bite. The smoothness of rice noodles is indescribable, and its main taste is the umami flavor of soup. I heard that rice noodles are delicious mainly in a bowl of soup. I asked the chef how to cook this bowl of soup. The answer is mainly chicken soup. The hens bought locally have to stew for at least four or five hours, but the ingredients for the stew are shipped from Yunnan head office. Nobody knows what's in those ingredients.
It's a pity to see that many people have eaten rice noodles and left half a bowl of soup. I have to finish the soup before I can finish the rice noodles. The thin layer of oil on it has been sucked away by vegetarian dishes, so don't worry about being greasy. The soup is clear and light, and it is warm and comfortable to drink in the stomach.
