Liangpi

Liangpi (simplified Chinese: 凉皮; traditional Chinese: 涼皮; pinyin: liángpí; lit. 'cold skin') is a Chinese dish composed of cold noodles made from wheat or rice flour. It is a specialty dish originating from Xi'an and forms part of the cuisine of Shaanxi Province, but has now spread throughout China. In northwestern areas of China, it is often called liangpi zi (凉皮子). While Liangpi can be eaten year-round, it is consumed by more people during the summer because it is served cold.
