Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles 兰州拉面

The flagship halal dish from China, hand-pulled noodles hail from the wild, sandy lands of northwest China.
兰州拉面是中国典型的清真食物，源于荒漠漫漫的中国西北地区。

Each bowl is as much handicraft as hearty meal.

在中国的很多临时搭建的开放式厨房中可以看到一个令人敬畏的甩面高手，把一个面团对折又拉开，将其变成细如发丝的面条，速度极快，大多数人还没决定要点什么拉面师傅就已经把面条拉好了。

A classic bowl of hand-pulled noodles comes with beef broth, slices of beef, coriander and spring onions.
一碗典型的兰州拉面中有牛肉汤、牛肉片、香菜和小葱。

Another popular derivation is knife-sliced noodles, or Dao Xiao Mian.

Sugar-coated haws (Candied haw/tong hu lu) 糖葫芦

This is an iconic snack in northern China, especially in Beijing.
糖葫芦是中国北方的一个标志性的小吃，尤其是在北京。

Sold by the stick, the dessert-to-go tastes great and looks greater -- bright red haws line up on a skewer in auspicious shapes, their sugary outer layers glimmering in the light.
糖葫芦是论串卖的。这种甜食看上去比吃起来还要更美味，亮红色的山楂果串成一串，看上去就喜庆，外面包裹的糖衣在日光下闪闪发光。

Its nearest counterpart in the West might be toffee apples (known as candy apples in North America).
在西方与糖葫芦最接近的甜食可能是太妃苹果糖（在北美叫作糖果苹果） 。

But haws are sourer than apples, so they offer a refreshing contrast to the sweet coating.
但山楂比苹果要酸很多，这种有别于糖衣的酸味让糖葫芦更爽口。

Cold northern winters ensure the sugarcoating is firm and crispy.
而北方冬天的寒冷让糖衣又硬又脆。

Stinky tofu 臭豆腐

Fried, braised, streamed or grilled -- stinky tofu is delicious no matter how it's prepared.
无论是深炸、红烧、蒸或烧烤——臭豆腐都是好吃的。

Somewhat similar to cheese, it's an acquired taste or one that perhaps you have to grow up with to fully appreciate.
这是需要后天培养的口味，你可能需要年纪大一点才能充分享受它的美味。这一点上臭豆腐和奶酪有点相似。

Stinky tofu is most popular in Hunan Province in central China, the Yangtze River Delta region (especially Shaoxing) and Taiwan.
臭豆腐是最流行的地区是湖南省、长江三角洲地区（特别是绍兴）和台湾。

Recipes vary from region to region, but the basic method is to let bean curd ferment in a special brine then deep-fry it.
臭豆腐的配方根据不同地区而异，但是基本的做法是让豆腐在一个特制的卤水里发酵，然后将其油炸。

It can be eaten with chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil or kimchi. Despite its underwhelming appearance and sharp smell, stinky tofu has a pleasant texture -- crispy on the outside, tender inside.
臭豆腐可以拌辣椒酱、酱油、香油或泡菜吃。尽管它的外观不起眼，味道呛鼻，但臭豆腐的口感却很好——外焦里嫩。
