Taizhou ginger-broth noodles 姜汤面
Taizhou ginger-broth noodles is featured among the local specialties of Zhejiang.
Ginger gives the broth a warming, peppery character. Toppings vary and may include seafood, egg and vegetables.
How it is made
Ginger is used to build a strongly aromatic broth in which noodles and assorted toppings are cooked. Taizhou-area versions may combine seafood, egg and vegetables with the ginger base.
Flavour & texture
The broth has a warm, peppery ginger bite rather than necessarily a chili burn; tender noodles absorb that aroma.
Local roots & traditions
Ginger-soup noodles are part of Zhejiang's coastal food repertoire and have a more distinctive broth than a generic seafood noodle bowl.
