	'''Zunyi Mutton Rice Noodles''' (Simplified Chinese: 遵义羊肉粉; Traditional Chinese: 遵義羊肉粉; Pinyin: ''Zūnyì yángròu fěn'') are rice noodles in a ~~clear or lightly spicy~~ mutton broth with ~~sliced lamb—a Famous dish~~ of [[Guizhou Food]] ~~tied to the city of~~ Zunyi.		'''Zunyi Mutton Rice Noodles''' (Simplified Chinese: 遵义羊肉粉; Traditional Chinese: 遵義羊肉粉; Pinyin: ''Zūnyì yángròu fěn'') are a Guizhou city specialty of round rice noodles (''fen'') served in a fragrant mutton broth with thin slices of cooked goat or sheep meat, chili oil or toasted chili powder, and bright green garnishes. The bowl is closely identified with Zunyi in northern Guizhou and appears on [[Guizhou Food]] famous-dish lists beside other provincial snacks such as [[Silk Doll]] and [[Changwang Noodles]]. Guizhou food writing often groups Zunyi's style with other regional mutton-fen "schools" (notably Shuicheng, Jinsha, and Xingyi) rather than treating all Guizhou mutton noodles as identical.<ref name="paper">[https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_12663583 The Paper: Guizhou mutton fen "four schools" framing (Zunyi / Shuicheng / Jinsha / Xingyi)]</ref>

	== Characteristics ==		== Characteristics ==

	~~Broth~~ is mutton-forward and warming~~; noodles~~ are ~~round~~ Guizhou-style rice fen. ~~Chili~~ oil, cilantro, and ~~pickled vegetables are common~~ table ~~seasonings~~.		The hub of the bowl is a <b>mutton-forward stock</b>: bones and meat simmered until the broth tastes savory and warming without heavy cloudiness when well made. Noodles are Guizhou-style rice ''fen''—often relatively thick, porous strands that drink the soup—blanched hot before the meat and oil go on. Cooked mutton is commonly pressed and sliced thin so it lies as a soft sheet over the noodles rather than as large stew chunks.

			Seasoning grammar is chili-aromatic rather than Sichuan ''mala''-numbing as the main pitch: local bowls lean on <b>chili oil or toasted chili powder</b> (including styles associated with Zunyi's Xiazi chili-growing area), a dusting of Sichuan pepper powder, salt, and a scatter of garlic shoots (蒜苗), scallion, and cilantro. The word ''xiazi'' in "Xiazi chili" refers to <b>Xiazi Town</b>, a noted chili market near Zunyi—not shrimp in the soup.<ref name="paper" /><ref name="baikelead">Local Guizhou food writing and municipal tourism copy repeatedly pair Qianbei hemp goat (黔北麻羊) meat with Xiazi-area chili for Zunyi bowls; treat breed and chili-town links as regional identity markers verified across secondary reports.</ref>

			Texture contrast matters: soft rice noodles and tender sliced meat against the fragrant heat of chili oil and the fresh bite of herbs. Compared with Guizhou sour-hot rice-noodle bowls such as [[Suan La Fen]], Zunyi mutton fen centers animal stock and goat aroma first; compared with Yunnan [[Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles]], it is a single composed bowl rather than a multi-dish table set.

	== Ingredients (overview) ==		== Ingredients (overview) ==

	~~Rice~~ noodles~~, mutton~~/~~lamb~~ and bones for stock, ginger, scallion, ~~chili,~~ cilantro, optional pickled ~~cabbage~~. ~~Distinct from beef rice-~~noodle ~~shops elsewhere in~~ Guizhou.		Typical components (encyclopedic overview, not a recipe): Guizhou rice noodles or rice sheets; goat/sheep meat and bones for stock (local writing often prefers northern Guizhou / Qianbei goats for milder odor and tender meat); ginger and other aromatics for the pot; chili oil or toasted chili powder; Sichuan pepper powder; garlic shoots, scallion, and cilantro; optional pickled vegetables at the table. Exact chili pastes, fat enrichment, and noodle dryness vs freshness vary by shop. Peer Guizhou mutton-fen towns use related ideas with different chili and sauce habits.<ref name="paper" />

	== History and culture ==		== History and culture ==

	~~Named~~ on [[Guizhou Food]] ~~Famous lists~~ with ~~other provincial noodles~~ and ~~street snacks~~; ~~a morning staple~~ for Zunyi ~~locals~~ and ~~travelers~~.		Local and tourism accounts present Zunyi mutton fen as a long-standing northern Guizhou breakfast and anytime staple, with mid-Qing fame often <b>attributed</b> in city food writing; treat precise "founding century" claims as tradition rather than a single archival charter.<ref name="cca">Secondary reports credit Zunyi with a China Cuisine Association "Chinese mutton-fen gourmet capital" title (2017) and earlier "China Famous Snack" recognition for the dish—industry awards, not UNESCO listings.</ref> In Guizhou's wider snack map, the bowl sits with other municipal icons that visitors encounter on [[Guizhou Food]], while remaining distinct from Guiyang egg-noodle [[Changwang Noodles]] and from self-wrapped [[Silk Doll]].

			A widely reported <b>winter-solstice (冬至) custom</b> holds that Zunyi residents eat a hot bowl of mutton fen on Dongzhi, with folk talk that the meal "warms the whole winter." Present that as local seasonal practice and saying, not as medical advice.<ref name="dongzhi">[https://news.qq.com/rain/a/20201218A0EQX900 Tencent News / Guizhou coverage of Zunyi Dongzhi mutton-fen festival framing]</ref> Winter tourism festivals around the solstice have reinforced the association in recent years; this encyclopedia does not rank named shops or advertise festival brands.

			Industry and association notices also discuss craft standards and municipal intangible-heritage listings for related making skills in some Zunyi districts; cite such entries only as craft recognition when independently confirmed, and do not inflate them into national-level heritage without a matching list ID.

	== Serving and variations ==		== Serving and variations ==

	~~Breakfast~~ or any-~~time~~ bowl~~. See~~ [[Guizhou Food]] ~~and~~ [[Suan La Fen]].		Served piping hot as breakfast, brunch, or a casual meal any time of day. Diners may adjust chili heat, pepper, and salt at the table. Some shops offer mutton hot-pot or offal add-ons while keeping the same stock base; dry chili vs oil chili and the thickness of the ''fen'' create neighborhood variation. Outside Zunyi, restaurant versions may soften heat for visitors; inside the city, the bowl remains a benchmark local taste beside other Guizhou snacks on [[Guizhou Food]].

			Compare with [[Suan La Fen]] for Guizhou sour-hot rice noodles without mutton stock, and with [[Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles]] for a different provincial rice-noodle service model.
