Lan Zhou La Mian 兰州拉面
• 4-6 RMB/portion
Take a break from the peppers at any of these family-owned noodle shops. Originating from the northwest region of China (Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu), these restaurants are generally owned and operated by Hui people (Chinese speaking Muslims). Hui men can be identified by their white caps, and the women wear scarves over their heads. At the most authentic places you will see them hand pulling the noodles. You can order up the noodles in a variety of styles: the traditional pulled noodles (拉面), knife cut noodles (刀削), flat-wide noodles (宽面). And cooked up in a variety of ways: with or without soup, fried, with vegetables only, or eggs, or beef (the Hui owned restaurants do not serve pork). There’s plenty of options to keep you coming back again and again.
