But this is not always the case, the 40-year-old Zhoukou people Wang Guojie sold the braised noodles to Tanzania, and the black guys praised the scene in Henan dialect while eating the braised noodles, which was not contrary to the harmony at all.
One thing you may not know when it comes to Orthodox braised noodles is that even in Zhengzhou, it's hard to find braised noodles that taste exactly the same way.

As a Yudong person, when I first ate this kind of braised noodles in Zhengzhou, I was shocked, this is a braised noodle cult! The braised noodles in the eastern Henan region are light and flavorful broth with strong noodles. Very simple and mellow.
Later, eat more, there are three umami, mushroom flavor, etc., I think this kind of one-pot stew is also very good, eat a variety of types, but also very nourishing.

Similar to the Fangcheng braised noodles are the Pingdingshan, Luoyang braised noodles. This pie of braised noodles is a light and mellow soup, without too many miscellaneous ingredients, the noodles and soup are fused together, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.
In today's rich material life, the form of a pot of stew is more like a culture. Not only In Henan, but also in the northeast, the stew is also famous.
But like the people of Henan, there are not many people who love braised noodles so much that they have become a cultural symbol. Perhaps it contains the past of poverty and war, but more importantly, it is the spirit of optimism and tolerance in the Central Plains, which has experienced various tribulations and is still optimistic and tolerant.
