Shengzha rice noodles are a traditional local delicacy in Guangxi, beloved by locals and tourists alike. The craftsmanship behind these noodles has been inscribed on the regional intangible cultural heritage list of Guangxi. Made from all-natural ingredients, the noodles are produced through a meticulous, multi-day process that includes selecting rice, fermenting the rice, grinding into slurry, pressing out excess water, steaming and kneading the dough. The defining step is pressing the dough directly into boiling water to form strands, which are then immediately removed and served with seasonings for a fresh flavor. [Xinhua/Huang Xiaobang] |
