It is said that a long time ago, there was a scholar who was studying hard in the Huxin Pavilion in Nanhu, Yunnan. His wife had to cross a bridge every day to deliver food to the scholar. One day, the wife felt that her husband was working hard, so she stewed a chicken and put it in an earthen pot to serve to her husband. However, something happened on the way and she was delayed. When she came back, she found that the chicken in the earthen pot was still hot. When she opened it, she found that the chicken was still hot. There was a thick layer of butter, so I scalded the rice noodles with chicken oil and gave them to my husband. The scholar was full of praise after eating them. Because his wife had to cross the bridge in Nanhu every day to deliver food, the scholar named it "Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles".
Guoqiao rice noodles have a history of more than 100 years. Originated from Mengzi, southern Yunnan. It is said that Nanhu Lake in Mengzi County has beautiful scenery, and writers and writers often study books and read poems here. There was a Yang scholar who often went to Huxin Pavilion to study, and his wife sent every meal there. Scholars study hard and often forget to eat. They often eat cold meals and cold dishes, and their health becomes increasingly weak. His wife was anxious and distressed, so she killed the hen at home, cooked it in a casserole, and sent it to him. When she went to collect the dishes again, she saw that the food she had sent was still intact, and her husband was still reading a book in a daze. She had to take the food back to reheat, but when she took the casserole, she found that it was still very hot. She opened the lid and found that the surface of the soup was covered with a layer of chicken fat, and the clay pot did not transfer heat well, sealing the heat in the soup. From then on, his wife used this method to keep warm, and scalded some rice, vegetables, and meat slices in hot chicken soup, and served them to her husband while they were still hot. Later, many people imitated her innovative cooking method, and the cooked rice noodles were indeed delicious. Since Yang Xiucai had to cross a small bridge from his home to Huxinting Pavilion, everyone called this way of eating "cross-bridge rice noodles". .
After continuous improvement and innovation by successive generations of Yunnan chefs, "Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles" has gained a reputation at home and abroad and has become a famous snack in southern Yunnan.

Shanghai is full of snacks. My mother and I couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food and decided to try something new.
When I arrived at the Raffles Place Food Center in the city center, I saw that the place was packed with people. There were so many people eating! Not only are there a lot of people here, but there are also a lot of food, many of which my mother and I have never heard of. "Alas!" I sighed: "Grandma Liu really entered the Grand View Garden!"
At this time, a waiter came over and asked the two of us to report the names of the dishes. My mother randomly ordered a few.
Within a few minutes, the waiter brought a bowl of thick soup, two bowls of large noodles, and sixteen plates of side dishes, which were neatly placed on our table. I saw that there were some raw and some cooked food in the sixteen small dishes. How could anyone eat this?
We had a hard time facing a table of things. Just when the two of them were at a loss, I found that another person also ordered the same dish. I saw him putting all the vegetables on the small plate into the hot soup. We followed the same example and put all the side dishes in. He put the "tiaozi" in the bowl into the soup, and we also put the "tiaozi" into the soup. He stirred up the contents of the bowl with chopsticks, and we started stirring right after him. After a while, I smelled an appetizing aroma slowly coming out. I got some "slivers" and stuffed them into my mouth and tasted them. Oh, it was so delicious. I was addicted after the first bite. I picked up the delicious food and wolfed it down.
Before long, my mother and I devoured a large bowl of delicious food. I patted my bulging belly and said: Ah, it’s so enjoyable! Finally, after consulting the waiter, we found out: the name of this delicious food is "Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles", a famous delicacy in Yunnan.
Everyone must have tasted Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles, but the unique way to eat Yunnan Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles is amazing.
A few days ago, my mother and I went to a cross-bridge rice noodle shop called "Biao Zhi Yuan". As soon as I walked in, I was attracted by the strong Yunnan flavor of this store. There is a small bamboo bridge at the entrance of the store. Crossing the small bamboo bridge, you will see a neat row of bamboo tables and chairs. The cashier counter in front of the bamboo tables and chairs is also made of bamboo. Faced with everything I saw, I couldn't help but wonder if I had entered a bamboo world.
Finding a seat, I ordered the 8-yuan Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles. After waiting for a while, the "dish" was served. Suddenly there was a serving of piping hot chicken soup in a bamboo bowl and several plates of lettuce on the bamboo table. Seeing this, you must be wondering how to eat these things? Let me tell you, to eat Yunnan Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, you have to do it yourself!
First take out the pork and sausage from the plate of lettuce and pour them into the soup, then pour in the green vegetables, enoki mushrooms and rice noodles. This makes sense according to the waiter, because the meat is harder to cook, so it is poured in first; while the vegetables and rice noodles are afraid of being cooked, so they are put in later. After 7 or 8 minutes, you can eat it. Use chopsticks to pick up the rice noodles. Because the rice noodles have been scalded in the boiling chicken soup, the roots are white and crystal clear, making people want to swallow them in one bite. After taking a bite, the rice noodles are filled with the rich flavor of chicken soup, which whets your appetite. Within a few minutes, I had finished all the rice noodles, meat in the soup base, and side dishes.
Why is this Yunnan rice noodle recipe so unique? There is also a legend among them! It is said that in the past, there was a scholar who was bent on pursuing fame and becoming the number one scholar, so he studied hard on a small island and asked his wife to bring him meals every day. One day, his wife put the casserole for his lunch on the stove to cook. She overslept because she was too tired today. When she woke up, she found that the casserole was boiling hot, so she hurriedly put the rice noodles and meat in it. Seeing that the bright red meat was cooked immediately, she tasted it curiously and thought it tasted good. She quickly walked across the bridge and told the scholar on the other side. When the scholar saw that the rice noodles were delivered across the bridge, he called them Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles.
