Lanzhou Ramen is essentially Lanzhou Beef Noodles, they are the same. The difference is the name. The reason is: Lanzhou Ramen is beef noodles made in Lanzhou by people from Hualong, Qinghai Province. Later, when it became famous, the people of Hualong applied for a trademark to prevent people from Lanzhou and other places in Gansu from using this trademark. In desperation, Lanzhou locals can only call Lanzhou Ramen Lanzhou Beef Noodles. However, no matter how Hualong people hold the exclusive trademark, Lanzhou Ramen will not have the authentic taste if it is not made in Lanzhou. Scholars have specifically studied this issue, and the fundamental reason is that the altitude of Lanzhou is just suitable for the boiling point of that kind of beef soup. As long as you leave Lanzhou, no matter how good the ingredients are, you can't make it taste like that. Therefore, in Lanzhou, Lanzhou Ramen and Lanzhou Beef Noodles are the same kind of noodles, which means the cat calls Mimi.
Lanzhou people say that my best specialty is clear soup beef noodles, but the national standard is changed to beef noodles. Where can I explain?
As long as it is called "Lanzhou Ramen", it is 100% unauthentic! Lanzhou only has "beef noodles"! I am a resident of Lanzhou from other places and have the absolute right to speak. Without further ado, I will just say that when my relatives from Shaanxi, Henan, and Jiangsu come to Lanzhou every year, the first thing they do is to eat a bowl of "beef noodles"! What does it mean?
