	'''Youpo Noodles''' (Simplified Chinese: 油泼面; Traditional Chinese: 油潑麵; Pinyin: ''Yóupō miàn'') are a Shaanxi wheat-noodle bowl finished by ladling smoking-hot oil over chili flakes, scallion, and garlic so the aromatics ~~bloom—related~~ to but distinct from belt-wide [[Biangbiang Noodles]].		'''Youpo Noodles''' (Simplified Chinese: 油泼面; Traditional Chinese: 油潑麵; Pinyin: ''Yóupō miàn'') are a Shaanxi wheat-noodle bowl finished by ladling <b>smoking-hot oil</b> over chili flakes, scallion, and garlic so the aromatics bloom. The name highlights the <b>oil-splash finishing technique</b> (油泼), not a single mandatory noodle width. The dish belongs to Guanzhong noodle culture on [[Shaanxi Food]] and is <b>related to but distinct from</b> belt-wide [[Biangbiang Noodles]].

			=== Alias cluster ===

			In Guanzhong speech and menus, youpo bowls overlap with names for <b>hand-torn / hand-pulled</b> noodles such as 扯面, 拽面, 抻面, and related shop labels (sometimes including regional strip-noodle nicknames). These aliases describe <b>how the dough is handled</b> or local shop branding; they should be read as a naming cluster around Guanzhong wheat noodles, not as proof that every alias is lexicographically identical to youpo. Compound labels such as <b>油泼扯面</b> (oil-splashed hand-pulled noodles) explicitly combine finish + dough handling.<ref name="wp-biang">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biangbiang_noodles English Wikipedia — Biangbiang noodles (notes youpo chemian as an alternate label in some usage)]</ref>

			=== Explicit distinction from Biangbiang Noodles ===

			<b>Keep the pages separate.</b> [[Biangbiang Noodles]] name a <b>wide, belt-like hand-stretched noodle</b> (and a famously complex character); <b>Youpo</b> names the <b>hot-oil chili finish</b>. Shops often blur the two—serving oil-splashed biangbiang or listing "youpo biangbiang" hybrids—and some English sources list ''youpo chemian'' as an alternate Chinese label for biangbiang. Encyclopedically:

			* Order <b>biangbiang</b> when the selling point is belt width and slap-stretched dough.
			* Order <b>youpo</b> when the selling point is the sizzling oil-chili finish, which may sit on various noodle widths.

			This article does <b>not</b> merge the two dishes into one entry.<ref name="wp-biang" />

			Guanzhong cities—including Xi'an and Weinan-area reputations for wide torn noodles—anchor the style's regional fame within [[Shaanxi Food]]. Weinan and neighboring Guanzhong shops are often praised for wide torn belts that may then receive an oil-splash finish—reputation of place, not a legal protected-origin label. Diners recognize a finished youpo bowl by the crackle of hot oil meeting chili and the sudden bloom of garlic-chili aroma more than by any single noodle width.

			Wheat noodles; chili flakes or chili powder; garlic; scallion; smoking-hot vegetable oil; soy sauce and vinegar to taste. Vegetable toppings (bean sprouts, greens) are common. <b>Topping sauces</b> (浇头) may add tomato-and-egg, stewed ''lazhi'' pork (腊汁肉), or beef sauce; shop menus sometimes market two-in-one / three-in-one combinations when oil-splash noodles meet these toppings.<ref name="zh-youpo">[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B2%B9%E6%B3%BC%E9%9D%A2 Chinese Wikipedia — Youpo noodles]</ref> The dramatic pour is done tableside or at the pass immediately before serving.

			Youpo noodles belong to Shaanxi / Guanzhong everyday wheat-noodle culture documented on [[Shaanxi Food]], alongside [[Biangbiang Noodles]], [[Liangpi]], [[Roujiamo]], and [[Knife-cut Noodles]]. Oil-chili finishes are common across northwest noodle shops; youpo names the splash technique diners recognize by sound and aroma. Historical noodle-name trails in older Chinese culinary bibliographies are useful as <b>leads</b> only when the cited originals are checked separately; this page does not invent precise founding years. It is everyday restaurant and home food rather than festival-only cookery.

			Within Guanzhong foodways, oil-splash bowls sit beside knife-cut and cold-skin noodles as weekday staples: quick to finish once the dough and chili are ready, loud enough at the pass to announce service, and flexible enough to accept meat or vegetable 浇头 without changing the core oil-chili grammar. That flexibility helps explain why aliases proliferate on street signs while the splash finish remains the memorable cue.
