Taihe Banmian (Board noodle)

As a local specialty in northern Anhui province, Taihe Banmian (Board noodle) gets its named because the dough made of top quality flour needs to be kneaded, thrown and pulled on a board repeatedly. Its soup is concocted from a dozen different kinds of Chinese herbs and spices, mutton or beef, which will be showered on boiled noodles. Thus, as a favorite of many diners, a bowl of colorful, delicious and fragrant Taihe Banmian gets ready.

In 2015, the Taihe Banmian-making technique was listed in the fourth batch of county-level intangible cultural heritage. With its unique flavor, Taihe Banmian (Board noodle) has become a distinctive brand in the local catering industry.
