In Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, there are many snack bars selling spicy vegetarian rice noodles.

The Wangji spicy vegetarian rice noodle shop located in the city's Yunyan district is famous among locals.

The snack is mainly made of sour rice noodles, which are thicker than ordinary vermicelli. After being fermented, it tastes sour and has a slightly acidic odor. It is easy to break when cooked, but tastes soft and smooth.

To make the most authentic Guiyang spicy vegetarian rice noodles, one only needs to boil the sour rice noodles in the pot for about three minutes, season them with salt, ginger, garlic, coriander, soy sauce, and sesame oil, add fried peanuts, rose-flavored salted turnip, and mung bean sprouts, and finally drizzle pepper oil on it.
