A-Jun Master Braised Noodles Introduction
In the early days, Lu Mian (braised noodles) was primarily shared by the Minnanese during weddings, birthdays, and various celebrations, as a way to distribute the noodles among neighbors and share the festive atmosphere. After finishing the meal, neighbors would present small congratulatory gifts along with the bowl of noodles to the host family, conveying blessings as well as the spirit of reciprocity. Thus, Lu Mian earned the nickname "congratulations dish." Even a seemingly plain bowl of Lu Mian carries the wisdom and stories left behind by our ancestors. Today, at "A Jun's Lu Mian," located across from the grade one historic site Chihkan Tower, they not only adhere to traditional methods of cooking Lu Mian but also continue to tell the story of Lu Mian, allowing diners to enjoy the aromatic and smooth noodles. A bowl of seemingly ordinary Lu Mian includes ingredients such as cabbage, radish, enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, sliced pork, and fish paste.
