About this dish
Hui mian (Chinese: 烩面) is a Henan-style noodle soup. The ingredients used in the dish vary across different cities and restaurants. Typically, hui mian is made with lamb bones and a range of Chinese herbs, such as Lycium chinense and star anise. However, kelp, tofu, coriander, quail eggs, chili oil, sugar, garlic, and minced peppers are also common ingredients. The taste of hui mian is soft, delicate, and chewy, as the noodles are repeatedly kneaded as they are made. The unique taste of seasoning is also one of the characteristics of hui mian, with a spicy and fragrant flavor, which is known to be appetizing. The taste of hui mian is described as slightly heavy but not too salty or greasy, making it a very healthy delicacy. When tasting hui mian, different ingredients can be chosen according to personal taste, such as tofu, vegetables, and different meats.
