Rice Noodle Roll肠粉 is a famous traditional snack of Han nationality汉族 in Guangdong, belonging to Guangdong cuisine. Vermicelli is a must for Guangzhou teahouses, restaurants, morning tea早茶 and night markets晚市. It is also a must for breakfast for many citizens. And it is one of the delicacies in the memory of the people of Guangdong.
Rice noodle roll has a long history. As early as the Tang Dynasty唐朝, monks Huineng惠能 and Huiji惠积 of Longzhou泷州 (now Luoding City, Guangdong) unintentionally created Youweici油味糍. Because the unintentionally created Youweici is too thin to be divided into pieces like the previous ones, it can only be shoveled into a pile and then cut into sections or not. This is the origin of the practice of sausage noodles, but it was not called sausage noodles at that time. In order to distinguish it from the original Youweici, people called it Youweici tablets油味糍片.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong乾隆, Emperor Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. After listening to the good words of Ji Xiaolan纪晓岚, the Food Minister, he specially went to Luoding罗定 to eat long niche CI龙龛糍. When eating this “cool爽, tender嫩 and smooth滑” long niche Ci, Qianlong was full of praise and said happily, “this Ci is not Ciba糍粑, but a bit like pig intestines. It’s better to call it sausage powder.” Hence its name and spread in Guangdong. At the end of the Qing Dynasty清朝, the streets of Guangzhou were filled with the sound of selling vermicelli.
Sausage powder is divided into salty and sweet. The fillings of salty sausage powder mainly include pork, beef, shrimp, pig liver, etc; The filling of sweet sausage powder is mainly sugar-soaked vegetables and fruits, mixed with fried sesame.
There are mainly two kinds of sausage powder according to the genre. One is Bula sausage powder布拉肠粉 and the other is drawer-type sausage powder抽屉式肠粉. Due to the different production tools used, the sausage powder is different.
Bula vermicelli is especially famous in Xiguan, Guangzhou. It is mainly used to taste stuffing (most of the vermicelli are made of rice flour and corn starch). Drawer type vermicelli (vermicelli is made of pure rice paste) mainly tastes like the powder and sauce seasoning of vermicelli.
