A bowl of steaming hot rice noodles represents the breakfast ritual bred in the bone of Changsha people and a culinary heritage passed down through generations. For visitors from afar, however, taking on the entire process—from stir-frying toppings to cooking noodles—is an adventurous exploration into the flavors of this city. Today, Gassim, an African living in Changsha, will step into the battlefield of a rice noodle shop, armed with his taste buds that have yet to fully "surrender" to local flavors. Watch how he navigates the sizzling stovetop, skillfully handling the flying oil while preparing the toppings, and wrestles with slippery rice noodles using chopsticks.
