Gourd head

Gourd head
With vermicelli as the base, add broken buns, then cover the pig's large intestine, and finally blanch it with boiling soup to become a well-known snack gourd head in Xi'an. There are different opinions on the origin of the name gourd, among which the name is the most reliable because the pig's large intestine resembles a gourd, and some people also called it "fried white sausage" in the early years. Its soup is made from pork bones and chicken, and the soup is fresh and smooth, and the color is mellow. After several processes such as rice, pinching, scraping, turning, picking, bleaching, boiling, and drying, the fresh large intestine is cleaned, and there is no fishy smell when it is put into the bowl and served, and it is fat but not greasy. Supplemented with sweet garlic and kimchi, it makes the gourd head more refreshing.
