In Beijing homes, making fried sauce noodles is both an art and a tradition. Families knead the dough by hand and cut it into delicate strands that dance in boiling water. Meanwhile, pork belly simmers in fermented soybean paste to create a rich, savory sauce. Served in blue and white porcelain bowls, this dish is more than just food - it's a symbol of a warm welcome. The hours spent rolling the dough and simmering the sauce reflect a deep respect for one's guests, transforming a simple meal into an expression of cultural heritage. For Beijingers, sharing homemade noodles with fried sauce is an invitation to enjoy centuries of hospitality.
