The rice noodle is a famous local snacks in Yunnan, and their eating method is almost extreme. The methods of making rice noodles in Yunnan are cold, hot, marinated and fried, and the ingredients of rice noodles are countless. There are braised meat, crispy whistle, three delicacies, prosperous intestines, fried sauce, eel and bean curd in the cauldron.

Because of its perfection, Yunnan rice noodles are divided into several types, such as crossing the bridge rice noodles, eel rice noodles, cauldron rice noodles, bean curd rice noodles and casserole rice noodles. Among them, the rice noodle crossing the bridge is the most popular, and it is also the most popular in Yunnan, especially when you travel to Kunming, Dali and Lijiang. In addition to flower cakes, the rice noodle crossing the bridge is the most popular in almost ancient cities.

In other places, rice noodles usually range from 8 to 20 yuan, but in Yunnan, you will find that rice noodles can be sold to 200 yuan, and the difference is the price and quantity of accessories.

There is a legend about crossing the bridge rice noodles. There is a scholar who often goes to the Nanhu Lake Pavilion in Mengzi City to study, and his wife sends meals here every day. Scholars study hard, often forget to eat, and often eat cold rice and cold dishes. Once, when his wife went to collect the dishes and chopsticks, she saw the food delivered intact. She took the food back and reheated it. When she took the casserole, she found it was still very hot. When she opened the lid, it turned out that the surface of the soup was covered with a layer of chicken oil, and the clay utensils had poor heat transfer, so the heat was sealed in the soup.

In the future, the scholar's wife will use this method to keep warm, and some rice noodles, vegetables and meat slices will be cooked in hot chicken soup and served to her husband while it is hot. Because Yang Xiucai has to cross a small bridge from his home to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, everyone calls this way of eating "crossing the bridge rice noodles".

Although the most expensive rice noodles can be sold for more than 200 yuan, generally speaking, it is very good to have more than 30 yuan, and eating rice noodles is also very particular. Generally, after the hot soup comes, the meat is first cooked in the hot soup, followed by vegetarian dishes such as onion and ginger, and finally the rice noodles are put.

This is not only delicious, but also not too hot to eat, and a large bowl can be very satisfying.

When traveling in Yunnan, you must not miss a bowl of hot Yunnan rice noodles crossing the bridge.
