The vermicelli of this dish is oily, soft and tender, the meat foam is fragrant and tender, and the flavor is unique. It is the top grade of home cooking.

The origin of this dish is said to be related to Dou E, a character written by Guan Hanqing, a playwright in the Yuan Dynasty. The talented talent Dou Tianzhang, who should act for the upper dynasty, gave his daughter Dou E to the creditor, Granny Cai, as a child bride before Chuzhou left. Dou E was filial to her mother-in-law in Cai's family and served her husband.

While seeking medical treatment for her mother-in-law, she also tried to make some delicious meals in a variety of ways to help her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law gradually got better. It was just that the economy was strained due to sitting and eating, Dou E had to bite the bullet and go to credit. Before the meat case, the meat seller said: "The money you owed the last two times has not been repaid, and you can no longer take credit today." Dou E had to ask for it, but the meat seller was entangled and cut a small piece of meat. To Dou E.

It's time to cook, Dou E thought, what can I do with such a bit of meat? Her thoughtful gaze fell on the top of the cupboard, where there were a handful of fans left over during the Chinese New Year. Dou E took off the vermicelli, soaked it in boiling water, then cut the meat into minced pieces, added scallions and ginger, sautéed in the pan, put in the soy sauce and vermicelli and fry for a while, and finally added green garlic and pepper to the pan.
