🍽️ Nanchang Mixed Rice Noodle

Rice noodles mixed with soy sauce and chili, smooth and appetizing.

Nanchang mixed rice noodles are Jiangxi's capital signature breakfast. Thick round rice noodles made from premium Jiangxi rice are blanched and tossed with a savory sauce of soy, chili, dried radish, sour beans, peanuts, scallion and sesame oil. Smooth and soft, the noodles are spicy, appetizing and crunchy with peanuts, lifted by pickles. Regulars often ask for extra chili oil and a handful of fried peanuts, then toss the noodles vigorously so every strand is evenly coated. A morning bowl often comes with a clay-pot soup such as meat-patty or egg soup for a complete local meal. Noodle shops line the streets from dawn, and the dish is one of Jiangxi's most representative rice-noodle snacks, commonly sought around Tengwang Pavilion.
