The main ingredient of the noodles is handmade, with egg, milk and other ingredients, the noodles are orange-red, pliable, thin and uniform. The recipe is: the noodles are boiled in boiling water, picked up and rinsed with cool water to make them clean and lubricated, drained, oiled in a frying pan, and finally dry-fried over a moderate fire, then served on a plate with leeks on top of the noodles, and served with a plate of aged vinegar and a plate of powdered sugar. The orange-red color of the noodles and the green color of the leeks are very attractive. With the vinegar and sugar to enhance the flavor, the noodles are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a good taste in the mouth.
