A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
A Jingdezhen breakfast bowl
This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.
In Jingdezhen, these thick, round rice noodles are a familiar breakfast, often paired with a separate bowl of meat-patty soup. The noodles are cooked, drained and tossed with a savory chili dressing and chopped preserved vegetables. Their springy bite is part of the appeal. Preserved tangerine peel can add a distinctive citrus note. Mix the toppings through the noodles before eating, and ask for less chili if you prefer a milder bowl.
