According to legend, in ancient times, there was a scholar in a place in southern Yunnan. In order to gain fame, he studied hard and stayed up all night, forgetting to eat and sleep. In order to concentrate and not be disturbed, he often goes to the small island in the middle of the nearby Nanhu Lake to study. There are luxuriant forests and bamboo trees here, which are 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 saves money and strongly supports her husband's study. Make something delicious for your husband and send it to him every day. However, when her husband reads books, he often forgets to eat and sleep. Often, when the food gets cold, he just takes a few bites and goes on reading. As time goes by, the husband's body is getting thinner. The wife sees it in her eyes and is anxious in her heart. One day, in order to mend her husband's body, she stewed an old hen and prepared a lot of rice noodles, which she happily sent to him. In the evening, when she went to clean up 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 warm. It turns out that the thick layer of chicken oil on the surface of the chicken soup covers the soup tightly, which is isolated from the cold air outside and plays a role in heat preservation. The wife scalded the rice noodles in chicken soup, and she was even happier when she saw that her husband tasted sweet. Since then, the clever wife has created the eating method of "crossing the bridge rice noodles". She sends her husband chicken soup every day and scalds rice noodles with soup. I often bring some shredded pork, fresh fish and other fresh vegetables, etc. These things are boiled in chicken soup and eaten. The taste is tender and delicious, so that her husband can avoid the pain of cold meals and ensure that he can study hard and achieve fame. Later, this way of eating gradually spread. Because every time a wife sends food 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, tender and delicious, with unique flavor. People often say that going to Yunnan without crossing the bridge rice noodles is tantamount to going 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 if they don't ask others: chicken soup is very hot. Because there is a layer of chicken oil on the surface, there is no hot air at all. First-time eaters often mistake the soup for not being hot and drink it directly with their mouths, which will easily burn the skin of their mouths. Therefore, never drink chicken soup directly with your mouth. When eating, you should eat raw slices first, and cook them when the soup is at the highest temperature. Some people don't know the secret, first hot vegetables and rice noodles, and then, the temperature of the soup drops, and the food that can't be eaten raw is not cooked. Cross-bridge rice noodles 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 flavor snacks, which can be described as the first of all traditional snacks. Some people say that "crossing the bridge rice noodles" is a Chinese western food, which deserves great promotion. Rice noodles are nutritious and easy to eat, and are very popular at home and abroad.
The rice noodles are delicious, all in the soup.
Many people know that the most authentic rice noodles are in Mengzi. It is one of the cradles of crossing the bridge rice noodles, which are made with large bowls, boiling soup, thin slices of meat and many ingredients. The waiter said that the rice noodles in Qiaoxiangyuan originated in Mengzi, Yunnan. After the soup was boiled, it was sealed with oil. When it was served, it looked nothing. In fact, the temperature could cook the raw meat. Almost all the meat dishes in the ingredients of crossing the bridge rice noodles are raw, which are thinned with a blade and cooked by soup; A set of rice noodle ingredients with a slight grade can have more than a dozen kinds, including many native products of Yunnan, so Yunnan people call the rice noodle crossing the bridge a set of rice noodles.
Looking at the white and tender rice noodles in the bowl, after listening to the waiter's advice, I carefully fished them up and took a bite. The smoothness of rice noodles is unspeakable, and its main taste is the umami flavor of the soup hanging. I heard that rice noodles are delicious mainly in a bowl of soup. I asked the chef how this bowl of soup was made. The answer was that it was mainly chicken soup. The hens bought locally had to stew for at least four or five hours, but the ingredients for stewed chicken were transported from Yunnan Head Office. No one knew what was 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 the vegetarian dishes, so there is no need to worry about greasy, the soup is clear and light, and it is very comfortable to drink warm in the stomach.
