Guilin Rice Noodle

According to history, Guilin Mifen (or rice noodle) derives from the Qin dynasty, more than 200 years ago. It is said that Guilin Mifen was produced by the soldiers in the Qin dynasty. To integrate China, the Qin emperor (Qin Shihuang) sent many soldiers to battlefields in the south. The soldiers from the North ate mostly noodles, and were not used to rice meals in Southern places like Yangshuo and Guilin, so to solve the problem, the general found a way to make the rice into something delicious. This dish became very popular among the Guilin and Yangshuo people. It has become a staple of local Yangshuo restaurants.

This dish is usually eaten as a soup. The noodles are made of rice and are served with some minced meat (often you can choose between several kinds of meat) and peanuts or dried beans. To your own taste you can add spring onions, spices and pickled vegetables. The local Yangshuo people like it very spicy. Our Yangshuo restaurant serves some of the best rice noodles in Yangshuo China.
