Juanfen

Juanfen is a delectable flat rice noodle dish from China, crafted from regular non-glutinous rice. Picture a bowl of juǎnfěn (卷粉) brimming with savory vegetable broth, crisp lettuce, and thinly sliced tomatoes. For added crunch, it's garnished with fried peanuts and a sprinkle of spring onions. To give it a unique zing, zhe'ergen—a spicy local rhizome—is included, complemented by a blend of chili, powdered white pepper, garlic, soy sauce, powdered Sichuan pepper, and Sichuan pepper oil.

This enticing dish was discovered in Guangnan, Wenshan, Yunnan, China. There, it's a common sight to savor juǎnfěn while sitting on stools around a low table set up right by the roadside, fully immersing in the local ambiance.
