Authentic Luosifen is not smelly!

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★

## Essential Ingredients and Tools

> For the sake of home cooking, making Luosifen from scratch using river snails, sour bamboo shoots, etc., is not practical. Therefore, this recipe is based on packaged Luosifen.

### Ingredients

- One package of packaged Luosifen, which should include:
  - Rice noodles
  - River snail meat pack (may be included in the topping pack)
  - Soup base pack
  - Topping packs such as sour bamboo shoots, peanuts, fried tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, etc.
  - Seasoning packs such as vinegar and chili oil

### Tools

- Pot

- Induction cooker / Stove

- A pair of chopsticks

## Calculations

- Based on personal experience, one package of packaged Luosifen is sufficient for one person's meal (even though it looks like a large pack).
- Water: 1L

## Instructions

- Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil.
- Add the rice noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- Add the soup base pack, adjusting to your taste.
- Add some topping packs, such as wood ear mushrooms, peanuts, and river snails (these toppings need to simmer for a while to absorb the flavor).
- Add the seasoning packs, adjusting to your taste.
- Stir and then transfer the contents into a bowl.
- Add the remaining topping packs, such as sour bamboo shoots and fried tofu skin (these toppings are not suitable for soaking in the soup for too long).
- Enjoy your meal.

## Additional Notes

- If you prefer chewier noodles, reduce the cooking time for the noodles in the second step.
- If you want to add a fried egg to your Luosifen, please refer to the fried egg tutorial.
- Choose your toppings according to your personal preference.
