Mung-bean pancake in bone broth.
Detailed Introduction:
Luoyang Bufan Soup is a traditional soup of Luoyang, Henan, its name meaning no-flip, because the mung-bean batter cake is cooked on one side only. At serving, the thin mung-bean pancake is torn into a large bowl of bone broth with glass noodles, kelp, laver, blood curd or sliced meat, finished with vinegar, pepper and sesame oil. The soup is tangy, peppery and refreshing, the torn pancake soft yet springy, the stock deep and savory. A well-simmered bone broth and a balanced sour-spice ratio are the secrets. Luoyang locals are passionate morning soup-drinkers, and bufan soup sits alongside beef and mutton soups in the city's soup culture, warming, appetizing and an old-capital street taste.
