Because of its thin skin in the shape of pig intestines, so called intestinal noodles.

Cheong fen (Cantonese pinyin: Cheong fen) is a very famous traditional Han Chinese snack in Guangdong, which belongs to the Cantonese cuisine family and originated from Takizhou (present-day Luoding City, Guangdong) during the Tang Dynasty.

Origin of rice noodle

According to the records, rice noodle first appeared in the Tang Dynasty in Takizhou (now Luoding, Guangdong Province), and it evolved from a local traditional delicacy, oil-flavored mochi. The local people called it "Longshi mochi". It was an unintentional invention of a Buddhist at the Longkang Dojo.

At first, he steamed a half-centimeter-thick rice cake made from rice paste mixed with oil and salt, crushed peanuts, green onions, and chives to make it easy to eat at any time. Because of the short production time, simple ingredients, refreshing flavor, and delicate and tender texture, Longkit mochi was passed down in Taki?

The name of intestinal noodles has a great origin. During the Qianlong period, Emperor Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and listened to the beautiful words of the food minister Ji Xiaolan, who was specially diverted to Luoding to eat Longshi糍.(龙龛糍). When he ate this kind of "cool, tender, smooth" Longshi patties, Qianlong was full of praise.

And said: this patty is not really patty, but a little like pig intestines, it would be better to call the intestines. The name of the dish was thus given to it, and it spread in Guangdong. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in Guangzhou, the streets were filled with the sound of intestines and noodles.
