Qishan noodles have a long history and became well-known as early as the Qing Dynasty. The noodles must be hand-made of good wheat flour. The ingredients include pork shreds, day lily, egg, wood fungus, and bean curd which are flavored with a variety of spices. Qishan noodles originated in Qishan County, hence the name Qishan noodles. When they are served, there is more soup, which tastes sour and hot, than noodles in the bowl.
