Hunyuan Cuisine
1. Hunyuan Liangfen (Jelly Noodles)
A soul-stirring spicy and sour flavor! The jelly noodles are smooth and gelatinous, the chili oil is fragrant and not overwhelming, and the broad beans provide a satisfying crunch. A Hunyuan person's "life-saving artifact."
2. Huangqi Mutton
Astragalus root stewed with local goat, a medicinal and nutritious dish that is not gamey or greasy. One bowl will warm you from head to toe!
3. Youmian Kaolaolao (Oat Flour Steamed Cakes)
Can be dipped, stir-fried, or served cold! The honeycomb-shaped oat flour perfectly absorbs the soup, representing the pinnacle of Shanxi noodle-making wisdom.
4. Stir-fried Small River Shrimp
Small, fresh shrimp raised in streams. Stir-fried over high heat, the shrimp are crispy and delicious, shell and all. The perfect accompaniment to alcohol!
5. Cold Willow Leaves
A spring-limited wild vegetable! Blanched and served cold, it offers a refreshing, slightly bitter taste; a secret weapon for Hunyuan people to "taste spring."
6. Kang Tuoluozi (Baked Cakes)
A coarse grain combination of corn flour and oat flour, shaped like small mooncakes. Add some mustard greens and pickles for an exquisite flavor!
7. Sea Buckthorn Juice
Freshly squeezed sea buckthorn juice from Hengshan Mountain. Sour to the point of squinting, yet with a sweet aftertaste. A Hunyuan-certified "Vitamin C bomb."
8. Smoked Pork Knuckle
Wood-smoked aroma infused into the skin and meat. The fatty parts are glistening, and the lean meat is tender. Eating it with a hot bun is incredibly fragrant!
9. Fried Rice Cakes
A must-fry for Hunyuan people during festivals! Yellow rice flour wrapped around red bean paste; crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with a flowing filling when bitten.
10. Potato Starch Dumplings
Dumplings with translucent potato starch skins, filled with carrot, Q-彈 (QQ-bounce).
11. Mutton Stew with Sea-Shaped Dough Balls
A fresh combination of "mountain and sea"! Hengshan Mountain mutton and starch dough balls shaped like seashells; the soup is milky white and incredibly fresh. A must-have for warming the stomach in autumn and winter.
12. Cold Pig Head Meat
Sliced pig head meat slow-cooked in old brine, mixed with garlic paste and vinegar. The combination of fat and lean meat is so fragrant that you'll want to lick your chopsticks clean!
13. Mustard Greens Pickles
A staple on the Hunyuan breakfast table! Sliced mustard greens, pickled until crispy, perfect with porridge or noodles.
14. Di San Xian (Three Fresh Vegetables)
Potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers, the "three brothers" stir-fried until coated in sauce, oily and lustrous. The Hunyuan version is even crispier than the Northeast Chinese version!
15. Millet Cold Cake
A combination of millet and glutinous rice, with a layer of dense red date paste. Chilled and drizzled with honey, it's refreshing and sweet; a "Chinese tiramisu."
16. Guo You Rou (Meat Stir-fried in Oil)
A famous Shanxi dish with a Hunyuan flavor! Tender and non-greasy slices of tenderloin, paired with wood ear mushrooms and garlic chives. One plate can go with three bowls of rice.
17. Cold Pork Skin Jelly
Pig skin boiled into a crystal clear jelly. Cut into pieces and drizzled with chili oil and vinegar, with a wonderful bouncy texture!

The bold aroma of charcoal-grilled meat! The skin is crispy with a honey glaze, and the juices spurt out when torn apart. A carnivore's delight!
19. Cold Oat Noodles
Oat flour rolled into long noodles, mixed with cucumber and carrot shreds, sour and spicy, an "low-calorie cold noodle dish."
20. Eggplant Box
Eggplant stuffed with meat filling, coated in batter, and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. Dipped in garlic vinegar for a refreshing taste; a childhood flavor of Hunyuan people!
21. Braised Fish
The Hunyuan version of "abundance every year"! Carp raised in the Hengshan Mountain springs, slow-cooked in rich soy sauce, with gelatinous fish skin and tender fish meat so delicate that chopsticks can barely hold it!
22. Stuffed Pancakes
Crispy skin, fragrant filling, the king of carbohydrates! With pork or red bean filling, pan-fried until golden brown on both sides; even though it's hot enough to burn your mouth, you still have to shout "delicious!".
23. Smoked Eggs
A companion to Liangfen (jelly noodles) for the people of Hunyuan! Wood-smoked with amber patterns, the egg white is springy, and the yolk is sandy and flavorful. One after another, you can't stop eating them.
24. Wild Mushrooms Stir-fried with Pork
Wild oak mushrooms from Hengshan Mountain and local farm-raised pork. The freshness of the mountain delicacy meets the aroma of the meat. Full of wok hei, you can eat three large bowls of rice with this dish!
