The picky taste buds were finally conquered by the special snacks! Pagoda Mountain, Qingliang Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain in Yan'an are within easy reach! The northwest cave-style gate exudes an alluring aroma! Minjie 15 yuan, full! Two ways of eating dry mixed 15 kinds of small ingredients are placed opposite each other, and the red and green chili sauce and pickled leeks are staggered, which makes me appetite at first sight. The soup mixed with sour pickles is extravagant! The "pork fat" in the 15 kinds of ingredients makes the porcelain spoon resonate many times when it collides with her.

The shop is not big, with several wooden tables, and the simple menu is clearly visible. A vegetarian Minjie costs 15 yuan, and a mutton Minjie costs 20 yuan. There are also mutton, side dishes, etc. After ordering a vegetarian Minjie, rice soup and kimchi were served for diners to enjoy first, and then a large plate was brought up. 15 kinds of seasonings were placed on a mahogany tray, which was amazing. A noodle dish actually has so many ingredients. Some of them are understandable, and some are not recognizable at all. The 15 kinds of seasonings are roughly leeks, coriander, chives, old Shaanxi black sauce, and lard. The second row is Ganquan tofu cubes, Zeberry oil, sesame salt, tomato sauce, chopped green peppers, dried tofu, beef sauce, pickled mustard, and pea garlic sauce. After the seasonings were served, a large bowl of vegetarian soup was served. The soup contained potatoes, beans, tofu, tomatoes, etc., which was light and not greasy. It can be drunk as a soup, or it can be added directly to the Minjie to eat together. It is super delicious and affordable.

On a certain group buying APP, "Lao Shanbei Minjie" ranks first on the list of popular snacks and noodles in Baota District, Yan'an City. After watching the light show on Baota Mountain, my family and I followed the navigation and walked to pick grass. [Location] Along the most prosperous "Eastern Street" in Yan'an, cross the Yanhe Bridge to the east (the best place to take pictures of Baota Mountain), and turn right at "Xingyun Lane" not far away. The store is on the right hand side of the west side of "Xingyun Lane". [Environment] The cave-style facade is very local. The area is not large, decorated in the folk style of northern Shaanxi, with 8 square tables in the store, and the front store and the back kitchen. [Dishes] [Minjie] A special pasta in northern Shaanxi, similar to He Lao, made of white flour, corn flour, bean flour and noodles, pressed on a mesh iron plate, with a soft and glutinous taste, rich nutrition, and a good food for the stomach. The store provides 15 kinds of small ingredients that can be mixed with noodles, and also provides a pot of tomato and egg stew for guests who like soup noodles. 15 yuan/portion, 12.9 yuan for group purchase, unlimited free refills, so affordable, must be recommended with five stars. To be honest, customers spend 12.9 yuan and can eat as many bowls as they want, which is very tempting for customers with big appetites. The store provides free noodle soup, which is hot, delicious and thirst-quenching. [Stewed mutton] Tender and not smelly. The price of 65 yuan/bowl is a bit expensive. [Yellow steamed buns and oily steamed buns] Soft and glutinous texture, red bean paste filling, sweet and delicious. [Comment] It tastes delicious, full, affordable, and a great dinner.

The mutton from northern Shaanxi is tender and fragrant, and every bite is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds. It not only represents the characteristics of local cuisine, but also a true portrayal of the enthusiasm and simple life of the people of northern Shaanxi.

The old Shaanxi mutton is tender and juicy, with a mellow but not greasy taste. Every bite seems to be telling the vastness and breadth of the Loess Plateau, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
