🍽️ Small-Pot Rice Noodle
Introduction：
Rice noodles boiled in a small pot, tangy and savory.
Detailed Introduction：
Small-Pot Rice Noodle is one of Kunming's most representative ways of eating rice noodles, built on the 'one pot, one bowl' principle. A small brass pot about ten centimeters wide cooks a single serving: bone broth is brought to a boil with rice noodles, fresh pork slices, chives, pea shoots and pickled vegetables, finished with a spoon of chili oil and minced meat sauce. Cooked to order in a bubbling pot, the noodles stay springy while the fresh toppings cook in seconds, blending pickled sourness, chili heat and meaty freshness. Kunmingites favor it for breakfast — tangy, spicy, warming — eaten hot with the broth. Unlike big-batch noodle service, the small-pot version has a strong wok character and bold taste, making it the local style visitors should not miss.
