A great summer dish, this Sichuan street snack can be found throughout China. It’s got a nice sweet, sour, and savory sauce with an optional spicy kick.
If you’re familiar with this dish, we add spices to the soy sauce here – not everyone does this, often you’ll just see sweetened soy sauce. The whole essence of this dish is that there’s tons of variations, and this is the one we prefer 🙂

Also, a huge thank you to Trevor James, a.k.a. the Food Ranger. Because we live in Shenzhen, we didn’t exactly have any Chengdu street food B-Roll handy. He was nice enough to give us permission to use some of his clips, so check out the whole video of his Chengdu street food tour: https://youtu.be/V9FpUSigyX8 (the Liangmian are at 8:51) In his videos they do a real nice research job… going to some of the tastiest restaurants/stalls in China, so give his channel a look if you like food/travel shows.

ABOUT US
—————————————————————————————–
Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) 🙂
We’re Steph and Chris – a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China – you’ll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that’s been living in China and loving it for the last nine years – you’ll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.
This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you’d get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what’s made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients – but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
