Wenzhou pig powder facts for kids

Wenzhou pig powder (Chinese: 温州猪脏粉; pinyin: Wēnzhōu zhūzàngfěn) is a noodle soup dish made with rice noodles, pig intestine and duck or pig blood. It comes from Wenzhou, in Zhejiang, China. It can be eaten at breakfast or throughout the day.

Intestines are cooked in aromatics such as rice wine, soy sauce, ginger, soybean paste, or garlic until softened. Blood is added in a congealed form (such as pig blood curd) along with noodles, and the dish is finished with scallions.

In an effort to give consistent English names to 50 popular Wenzhou dishes, Zhejiang Vocational and Technical College of Industry and Trade called it "Rice Rolls with Boiled Pig's Intestines" in 2008.

As people from Wenzhou moved out of the city, they also introduced this dish to other regions. However, as the region develops and people in Wenzhou become more affluent, fewer people have been making authentic Wenzhou pig powder.
