Guilin rice noodles

Guilin rice noodles have a history of more than 2, 300 years. It is said that Oin Shi Huang, the founder of the Qin Dynasty (221 B C-206 B. C), took his army to southern China to wage war, aiming to unify southern China. However, the soldiers are from northern China and got used to eating wheat. They could not adapt to eating rice, which is the staple food in southern China, and couldn't digest it. In order to solve this problem. The chef had the idea to combine rice with wheat. They first inflated the rice and ground (把……磨成粉) it into rice syrup .After filtering the water from the rice syrup the chef smashed the rice into rice dough and steamed it, and then pulled it into noodles. The noodles were cooked with some special brine made from traditional Chinese medicine that cured the soldiers' digestive problems. The soldiers regained their energy after eating the cooked rice noodles, and finally unified southern China, according to reports .
