The famous noodle soup pian’erchuan (片儿川) is said to have been created by the time-honored noodle restaurant Kuiyuanguan (奎元馆) in Hangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. To make this special pian’erchuan noodle soup, the chef first uses lard to fry sliced pork before adding sliced bamboo shoots and soy sauce. Hot water and pickled Chinese cabbage are then brought to the boil to make the sauce and added to the noodles.
Ershao on fifth floor of 3.3 Shopping Mall now brings pian’erchuan to Sanlitun, selling three categories of noodle, including fish, shrimp, braised pork, pork liver, rib, beef tenderloin, and shrimp with pork noodle soups (RMB 22-52); noodles served with various sauces (RMB 36-58); shumai, a type of steamed dumpling (RMB 22-28); and wontons (RMB 12-18).
