🍽️ Changwang Noodle

Pig intestines and blood with noodles, a Guiyang breakfast.

Changwang noodles are a classic Guiyang breakfast: chang means pork intestine, wang refers to pig blood. Handmade thin egg noodles are topped with braised, tender intestine, silky blood curd, red chili oil, plus crispy fried pork bits and bean sprouts. The broth is glossy red; the intestine soft and flavorful, the blood curd smooth as tofu, the noodles springy with eggy aroma, balancing savory and numbing-spicy. The craft lies in ridding the intestine of odor and braising it until melting, with oil for color and fragrance. A hearty, rich bowl that Guiyang locals queue for early in the morning, often with a side of pickles.
