Laba noodles

Overview

Today is Laba Festival, what can you eat at home? Laba Festival is a traditional festival in my country and the most important festival in the twelfth lunar month. On this day, there are many different customs and habits in various places. Almost every family will drink a bowl of Laba porridge to worship ancestors and gods and pray for a good harvest and good luck. Although I am from the north, I have never eaten Laba noodles in my whole life. I checked online and found that Laba noodles are popular in the Guanzhong area. In the Chengcheng area in the Weibei area of Shaanxi Province, Laba noodles are generally not eaten as porridge. Every year on the morning of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household eats a bowl of Laba noodles. It sounds fresh and fun, so this year during Laba, let’s learn from Shaanxi people and copy Laba noodles. There are not many ways to make Laba noodles on the Internet, and they are all different, so just copy it and feel free to use it. I made the noodles into diamond-shaped wide noodles, which is a bit like the way my hometown makes noodles. I feel that this can better reflect the ruggedness of the north. The stir-fried saozi uses pork, dried tofu, white radish, carrots, soybeans, mushrooms, fungus, day lily... It is very rich. Put the noodles in a pot of boiling water, put them in a large bowl after cooking, then scoop two tablespoons of saozi, stir them up, and the fragrant Laba noodles are ready. On this cold day, serving a bowl of tempting noodles, how can it be called fragrant...
