As the #Wuhan #summer #heat approaches (it's only 33ยฐC today, so we're not there yet) there's a couple of perfect comfort foods for coping with it. Today's lunch is #ๅ็ฎ (#liรกngpรญ, lit. "cold skin"), it's originally from #Shวnxฤซ (often spelled #Shaanxi to distinguish it from #Shฤnxฤซ without having to use tone diacritics) but has since spread around pretty much the entire northern half of #China to all the provinces neighbouring it, including where I live in #Hubei. You can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liangpi
Served chilled, it is one of the best ways to combat summer heat, able somehow to cool better than the Wuhan-local #ๅ้ข (#liรกngmiร n, lit. "cold noodles") despite those being chilled as well.
What you see here is the liangpi before it gets mixed up. Only barely visible in the shot (through the little loop of noodle at the very bottom) is the preserved egg that was added because I love #CenturyEggs.
