Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

For the sake of home cooking, making Luosifen from scratch using river snails, sour bamboo shoots, etc., is not practical. Therefore, this recipe is based on packaged Luosifen.

Ingredients

  • One package of packaged Luosifen, which should include:
  • Rice noodles
  • River snail meat pack (may be included in the topping pack)
  • Soup base pack
  • Topping packs such as sour bamboo shoots, peanuts, fried tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, etc.
  • Seasoning packs such as vinegar and chili oil

Tools

  • Pot

  • Induction cooker / Stove

  • A pair of chopsticks

Calculations

  • Based on personal experience, one package of packaged Luosifen is sufficient for one person's meal (even though it looks like a large pack).
  • Water: 1L

Instructions

  • Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the rice noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
  • Add the soup base pack, adjusting to your taste.
  • Add some topping packs, such as wood ear mushrooms, peanuts, and river snails (these toppings need to simmer for a while to absorb the flavor).
  • Add the seasoning packs, adjusting to your taste.
  • Stir and then transfer the contents into a bowl.
  • Add the remaining topping packs, such as sour bamboo shoots and fried tofu skin (these toppings are not suitable for soaking in the soup for too long).
  • Enjoy your meal.

Additional Notes

  • If you prefer chewier noodles, reduce the cooking time for the noodles in the second step.
  • If you want to add a fried egg to your Luosifen, please refer to the fried egg tutorial.
  • Choose your toppings according to your personal preference.
