History

  It is hard to trace back the origin of Guo Qiao Mi Xian (Bridge-crossing Noodle). According to some materials about this food, it might be originated from a bridge in southern Yunnan in Mengzi, where there is a rice vermicelli tradition at least 100 years old.
 
  And there is a story about Bridge-crossing Noodle. It is said that one day, a scholar was studying hard for his imperial exams. His wife was making a meal for him. She cooked many nutritious foods such as chicken soup, noodles. In order to make him eat conveniently, she combined all them just before eating, and them they became a nutritious bowl of steaming noodles. That is the origin of today’s Guo Qiao Mi Xian.

To the strange name of this food, there are many claims about the origin.
 
  A claim tells us that when a scholar asked his wife to buy a noodlefrom the other side of a bridge. So when the husband asked his wife the name of the novel dish, she replied Guo qiao mi xian or bridge noodle.
  Another story about the name origin is interesting. It was also about a scholar told his wife to buy a bowl of noodle for him.When the wife crossed the bridge to the husband, carrying the meal in a basket, she tripped and accidentally poured hot broth into the bowl of raw meat. When she opened the basket to have a look, the meat was found to have been boiled, but also tasted delicious.
