A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
A noodle bowl built around soft whole peas
In Xuyong’s noodle-shop tradition, the peas are prepared separately: dried peas are soaked and stewed until their centers turn soft while their skins remain. Pork mince is fried, then softened again with broth. The cooked noodles receive the pork topping and a spoonful of peas, bringing springy strands, soft peas and savory broth into one bowl.
