Snail noodles exported to US
Rice noodles with snails, a signature dish sold at street stalls in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, are being exported to the United States, a company says. A combination of Han, Miao and Dong cuisine, luosifen is made from pickled bamboo, dried turnip, fresh vegetables and peanuts, and served in a spicy noodle broth flavored with river snails.
In Liuzhou city, Guangxi, luosifen is usually sold from roadside stands or in night markets. When served in luxury hotel restaurants in Liuzhou, snails may be included in the dish. In recent years, several luosifen restaurants have been established in Beijing, Shanghai, HongKong and even overseas.
On Friday, about 50,000 packets of such noodles, worth about 600,000 yuan (about $87,000), were shipped to the US, says Jia Defa, manager of Liuzhou Luozhuangyuan Food Company Ltd.
