Difficulty Updated 1/25/2026

Ingredients and Tools

  • One bag of packaged luosifen, which should include:
  • Rice noodles
  • Snail meat packet (may be in the seasoning packets)
  • Soup base packet
  • Pickled bamboo shoots packet, peanuts packet, tofu skin packet, wood ear mushroom packet, etc. ingredient packets
  • Vinegar packet, chili oil, and other seasoning packets
  • Tools
  • Cooking pot
  • Induction cooker/stove
  • A pair of chopsticks

Measurements

  • Based on personal experience, one bag of packaged luosifen is enough for one person for one meal (even though it looks like a big bag)
  • Water 1L

Steps

  • Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil
  • Add the rice noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together
  • Add the soup base packet, adjust to personal taste
  • Add some of the ingredient packets, such as wood ear mushrooms, peanuts, and snail meat (these ingredients need to be cooked for a while to absorb flavor)
  • Add the seasoning packets, adjust to personal taste
  • Stir, then scoop out and put into a bowl
  • Add the remaining ingredient packets, such as pickled bamboo shoots and tofu skin (these ingredients should not be soaked in the soup for too long)
  • Enjoy the meal
