Scissor surface

Overview

Scissor noodles are Shanxi’s specialty noodles. In fact, the method is very simple. Mix an appropriate amount of water into a dough, let it rest for a while, and knead it into a cone shape. Hold the dough in one hand and use scissors in the other to cut the noodles one by one into a pot of boiling water and cook them. After it is cooked and taken out, it can be soaked in cold water to make it stronger. You can also add the toppings directly without watering.
