Yongxingfang Guanzhong Street, a place full of hearty dishes

Where should I go to eat in Xi'an? If someone tells you to go to Hui Muslim Street, they are definitely not a true Xi'an local. Over time, Hui Muslim Street has become completely commercialized and turned into a tourist street. Let's go together to taste authentic Shaanxi cuisine, and go to Yongxingfang, a food street that Xi'an locals often visit.

Chengcheng Lamb Pao

A steaming bowl, two half-moon-shaped buns, and a refreshing side dish instantly awaken the taste buds. Mix a few pieces of lamb into the bun, take a bite of garlic, sip some soup, wipe off the sweat, and your whole face will feel refreshed and comfortable!

Chang'an Jiao Tuan

It melts in your mouth! No need to chew at all, it's soft and glutinous, accompanied by the taste of sour soup, it's amazing... It really makes your mouth water. Whether it's eaten in soup or as a cold dish after being cut into pieces, the taste is very enticing.

Qishan Dadao Shaozi Noodles

The Shaozi Noodles in Shaanxi Province have a long history, with the Shaozi Noodles from Qishan County in Baoji City being the most authentic. Qishan Shaozi Noodles are renowned for their nine characteristics: sour, spicy, fragrant, thin, chewy, glossy, fried, watery, and oily, making them the top noodle dish in Shaanxi. The Shaozi (minced meat sauce) in a good bowl of Qishan Noodles is crucial.

Lao Tongguan Roujiamo

Lao Tongguan Roujiamo is the most distinctive. The bun is dry, crispy, flaky, and fragrant, while the meat is fatty but not greasy. Originally named Shaobing Jiama, it is said that Li Shimin praised it highly after tasting it, exclaiming 'Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, I never knew such a delicacy existed in the world.'

Lantian Buckwheat Noodles

Lantian buckwheat noodles are long and thin, with a bright yellow color, flexible gluten, and a fragrant taste. Due to their low sugar content and high fiber, they are easy to digest and have significant effects on diabetes. They are a famous snack in Shaanxi. Lantian buckwheat noodles can be served in two ways: cold or hot. In summer, they are usually eaten cold, with seasonings such as salt, vinegar, mustard, minced garlic, sesame paste, and red chili oil. Sometimes, if the chef adds a bit too much mustard, the first bite might make you shiver, feeling like all your senses are awakened, making it a great way to beat the summer heat. In winter, they are often eaten hot. The noodles are first heated with hot bone broth, then garnished with cilantro, garlic sprouts, and pepper powder. The fresh broth and noodles provide a comfortable and satisfying experience.
