A-Jun's Braised Noodles Introduction
In the past, Lu Mian (braised noodles) was primarily shared by Minnan people during weddings and various celebrations, distributing the noodles as a way to foster a festive atmosphere with neighbors. After enjoying the meal, neighbors would return small gifts along with the bowls, conveying not only their blessings to the host but also the importance of reciprocity. This has led to Lu Mian being known as the "dish of good tidings." Even a seemingly ordinary bowl of Lu Mian carries the hidden stories that are the crystallization of ancestral wisdom. To this day, at "A Jun's Lu Mian," located directly opposite the Class I Historic Site Chihkan Tower, the tradition of cooking Lu Mian has been upheld. While recounting the story of Lu Mian, diners can still enjoy the fragrant, chewy, and smooth noodles. A bowl of what appears to be ordinary Lu Mian includes ingredients such as cabbage, radish, enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, sliced pork, and fish paste.
