Zunyi Traditional Bean Curd Noodles

Zunyi Douhua Noodles is a signature snack from Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, belonging to the Guizhou cuisine. This dish features soft, smooth noodles with a rich spicy aroma and distinctive flavor. Originally developed from Buddhist vegetarian noodles in the early 20th century, Zunyi Douhua Noodles is a uniquely characteristic Guizhou snack. Made primarily with noodles and cooked mainly by boiling, it offers a savory and delicious taste.

Legend traces its origins to the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty, when it began as a vegetarian dish served by charitable families to pilgrims visiting Xiangshan Temple. To maximize flavor while keeping profits minimal, many contributed recipes and techniques. By the Republican era, it had evolved into the authentic Zunyi Douhua Noodles we know today.
