Guilin Rice Noodles

Guilin Rice Noodles rank as the most affordable and widespread breakfast option on this list, with 98% of Guilin residents eating them daily in deeply flavored pork and herb broth costing just 5 Chinese yuan per bowl. The rice noodles are 1.5 millimeters thin and pre-fermented for 12 hours, giving them a springy texture that absorbs broth 20% more efficiently than Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles' wheat strands. The herb broth alone contains 12 varieties of local ingredients, a complexity that rivals any pricier soup base on this top 10.
