Shanghai cold noodles

Overview

Shanghainese have a special liking for cold noodles. During the hot season, almost every household will make a large bowl of cold noodles, a few dishes of various kinds, or make a few more dishes as toppings, just like lunch and dinner. The best way to eat cold noodles is to pair them with a cold drink, red bean shaved ice, or iced sour plum soup, a mouthful of cold noodles, and a mouthful of ice-cold drinks, which makes people feel extremely cool and comfortable.
