Liangpi is a refreshing cold noodle dish made from wheat starch or rice flour, cut into wide ribbons and tossed with chili oil, black vinegar, garlic, cucumber shreds, and sometimes gluten (mianjin) or bean sprouts. It originated in Shaanxi Province, especially in and around Xi’an, where it remains a beloved street food and summer staple. The noodles are steamed, cooled, and chilled, then mixed with a tangy-spicy dressing just before serving. Served cold, Liangpi is enjoyed for its cool, chewy texture and bold, sour-spicy flavor, offering contrast to the region’s heavier hot dishes. Common variations include Hanzhong-style Liangpi (spicier) and rice-based Liangpi (softer and whiter).
