Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles 过桥米线 →

A very hot bowl of rich broth is served with rice noodles and separate accompaniments. Thin ingredients may be added in a set sequence, so staff guidance is part of the meal rather than a decorative ritual. Smooth noodles and tender additions meet a savory broth whose surface can retain considerable heat. The visible oil means temperature is easy to underestimate.
