If you’re already in Henan, it’s worth the extra drive to Yuzhou (especially Shundian Town) just for a bowl of 杂炣 (locally “zake” / “zazha”).
15 yuan (~US$2) buys a heaping, steaming bowl packed with springy Yuzhou sweet-potato glass noodles, cabbage, golden fried tofu shreds, and generous pieces of beef offal (tripe, intestine, liver…) in a rich, long-simmered bone broth.
A spoon of chili oil on top and the colors alone — milky broth, bright greens, red oil — make you hungry before you even sit down.
This 600-year-old market snack is now municipal intangible cultural heritage. Locals tear a crispy shaobing into it and finish every drop.
Who here would actually eat this?
Drop a 🍜 if you’d slurp the whole bowl.
