3-Hour Xi'an Biang Biang Noodles Cooking Class
China is the homeland of noodles, and the earliest record of noodles in China shows they have a history of 4,000 years. Due to the different methods of preparation and the use of varying ingredients, there are over 1,000 types of noodle, each with local characteristics. In Shaanxi, “biangbiang noodles” are quite famous not only for their flavor but also for the Chinese character “biang” in the name. The noodles got their name from the sound “biang biang”, which occurs when they’re being made. The noodles are about 2–3 centimeters wide and 1 meter long, like a belt, which is why they are also called “belt noodles”.
Join in our 3-hour biangbiang noodles cooking class to make it by yourself and enjoy a noodle feast. After class, you can enjoy the night beauty of the City Wall cause our class is held in an old neighborhood under the roots of the Xi’an City Wall.
