The Concept
HONGUO is originated from Yunan. “Cross Bridge Vermicelli” has over a hundred year of history.
There was a legend told that there lived a studious scholar who like others studied in an island in the middle of south lake. As he studied very hard, he forgot his meals that were prepared by his devoted wife and were left cold.
The wife then brewed a chicken soup in a clay pot for the husband. Later, the food remained untouched but she discovered the food was still hot. The heat was maintained due to a layer of chicken oil and the clay pot. From then on, she used this method to keep the soup hot and added vermicelli, vegetables and slices of meat into the soup just before eating.
Soon after, others adopted her cooking method and name the dish “Cross Bridge Vermicelli” as the wife had to cross the bridge daily to the island to deliver the vermicelli to her husband.
Today, “Cross Bridge Vermicelli” is a very popular Yunan dish all over China, and is sometimes called “Love Bridge Vermicelli” because of her devotion.
