The Lanzhou Ramen we have eaten has nothing to do with Lanzhou. There is no noodle shop with a "Lanzhou Ramen" plaque in Lanzhou. People in Lanzhou call it beef noodles. The trademark of Lanzhou Ramen was registered by Qinghai people, and 90% of Lanzhou Ramen restaurants are run by Qinghai people. Qinghai people have opened Lanzhou Ramen restaurants all over the country, and even overseas.

Lanzhou Beef Noodles with Chive Leaves
The biggest difference between Lanzhou Beef Noodles and Lanzhou Ramen is the making process of the soup. Authentic Lanzhou Beef Noodles and soup are made from beef bones and mutton bones. (Thigh bone), native chicken, beef liver, white radish and various seasonings are stewed. The soup is delicious and nutritious. Then scoop out the noodles, sprinkle with coriander and garlic sprouts, pour in chili oil, add beef slices, and serve. A bowl of fragrant beef noodles came out. The soup of Lanzhou Ramen is basically blended with seasonings, and the taste is very different. As a Gansu native, I have the best say on this.

In a Lanzhou beef noodle restaurant, buy a ticket at the door, and then take the ticket to the kitchen and be sure to indicate what kind of noodles you want, otherwise the chef will stare at you and ask : What are you eating? What to eat? Friends from out of town may not know what they will answer: Eat noodles! In fact, he is asking you what shape of ramen you want to eat. The size of beef noodles you can eat (two pillars, two thin, three thin, thin, capillary, large wide, thin wide, leek leaves, buckwheat ribs, one nest thin), eat The most common ones are Erxi, Kuan and leek leaves. The breakfast of many Lanzhou people is a bowl of Erxi and eggs. Yes, you heard it right, it’s breakfast!

Lanzhou Beef Noodle Restaurant only sells ramen noodles, eggs, cold dishes and whether to add beef, and there is no other menu.
Lanzhou Beef Noodles (Ma Zihao is very famous)
Lanzhou Ramen eaten outside Lanzhou really has nothing to do with Lanzhou Beef Noodles. In terms of publicity and development, we Gansu people should really pay attention to Lanzhou Beef Noodles. Friends from Qinghai are learning, but speaking of it, Qinghai people are smarter and got there first. They have the trademark registration of 'Lanzhou Ramen' in their hands, but Gansu people have nothing to do... It is quite a thing for others to carry forward their own things. Embarrassing thing.
