Shanxi noodles

Shānxī Yóumiàn Kǎolǎolǎo (Shanxi Oat Noodle Rolls) are a traditional Shanxi dish made from oat flour (youmian). The dough is rolled into thin sheets and then coiled into small cylindrical shapes, resembling honeycombs. Steamed and served with savory toppings, these noodle rolls have a distinctive chewy texture and nutty oat flavor.
