The popularity of Anhui beef noodles in Shijiazhuang often makes people wonder. Is there a possibility that the word "Anhui" does not refer to a place name but is just a trademark, just like I named my puppy "kitten". Of course, this is just a joke. Although the Shijiazhuang and Anhui boards are all labeled as "authentic", the real origin of boards and is actually in Anhui.
Just like and KFC also took the localization route to China, after Anhui Banmian traveled over the mountains and ridges to Shijiazhuang, it also gained local characteristics in terms of color, fragrance and flavor. Judging from the appearance, Shijiazhuang's Ban Mian is made of wide and chewy noodles with a rich soup base, beef and vegetables. Nowadays, the Pan Mee that people eat is richer in content. In addition to meat and vegetables, there are also soy products, braised eggs, ham and other ingredients.
Although Anhui Pan Mian can be said to have been developed in Shijiazhuang, its original origin was in Taihe County, Anhui, and its predecessor was Mutton Pan Mian. It is said that the origin time was during the Three Kingdoms period, and the inventor was Zhang Fei . Zhang Fei has a strong taste and doesn't like the texture of noodles that are soft and watery, so the chef smashed the noodles on the chopping board to make them stronger, then added herbs and mutton to stew them together, and the mutton noodles were created.
Perhaps it is because there are so many Anhui specialties that Pan Mian is hard to find on the streets of various cities. From Hefei to Huangshan, from Bozhou to Anqing , the top is poor and the bottom is blue, and the bottom is nowhere to be found. You can only come to Fuyang. Only in the Taihe County of the city can you eat the most authentic Anhui pan noodles - Taiban No. 1 in a small county.
