在蘭州，回族人的早晨，從一碗熱氣騰騰的牛肉麵開始。

In Chinese western city Lanzhou, the morning of the Hui ethnic group usually begins with a steaming bowl of beef noodles.

回族是中國分佈最廣的少數民族，呈現「大分散，小聚居」的居住模式，在中國絕大多數縣都有分佈，西岸地區人口最多。

The Hui ethnic group is the most widely distributed minority group in China. They are scattered across the country but generally settle in concentrated communities within a region. Hui people can be found in the majority of counties throughout China, with the highest population concentration in the western regions.

分佈在中國西北的回族多以麵食為主。回族麵食的種類繁多，其中最為人知的是蘭州牛肉麵，長期以來各民族共同發明並傳承發展了這一製作技藝。直至上世紀初葉，回族師傅馬保子又對傳統牛肉麵的製作和調湯進行成功改良，最終形成「一清（牛肉湯清）、二白（蘿蔔片白）、三紅（辣椒油紅）、四綠（蒜苗和香菜綠）、五黃（麵條黃亮）」的獨特風格。

The diet of Hui ethnic group in northwest China centers around food made from wheat flour. Despite such food’s variety, the most well-known is Lanzhou beef noodles. Over time, different ethnic groups have collectively invented and passed down the techniques for making this dish. In the early 20th century, a Hui master named Ma Baozi improved the preparation and broth of traditional beef noodles, ultimately creating a unique style characterized by clear beef broth, white radish slices, red chili oil, green garlic sprouts and cilantro, and bright yellow noodles.

牛肉湯是面的靈魂，加入精心調配的香料，使用獨特的燉肉和調湯方法。拉麵的每一個環節都需要精湛的手藝和豐富的經驗。先是和麵、揉麵，然後經過師傅抻、搓、溜、甩、拔劑子，再根據食客喜好拉出粗細不同、不同形狀的麵條，最後色香味俱全的牛肉麵出鍋了。

The beef broth is the soul of the noodles, prepared with carefully selected spices and cooked using unique methods for stewing the meat and blending the flavor. Each step requires exquisite craftsmanship and extensive experience. From kneading and rolling the dough, the master skillfully stretches, twists, slides, tosses and pulls the dough, creating noodles of various thicknesses and shapes according to the preferences of the diners. Finally, a bowl of flavorful and aromatic beef noodles is made ready.

在絲綢古道的駝鈴聲中，蘭州牛肉麵伴隨了人們的漫長時光。張家川回族自治縣的群眾走出大山，到全國各地甚至海外開辦餐館，這已成為當地鄉村振興的主導產業。如今，蘭州牛肉麵在中國乃至全世界範圍內傳播，以其獨特醇香的口感征服了海內外食客的味蕾，受到越來越多人的歡迎。

Amidst the ringing camel bells on the ancient Silk Road, people enjoyed Lanzhou beef noodles during their long journeys. Local residents from Zhangjiachuan Hui Autonomous County have ventured out of the mountains and opened restaurants across the country, making Lanzhou beef noodles a leading industry for rural revitalization. Nowadays, Lanzhou beef noodles have gained popularity not only in China but also worldwide. With its unique and savory taste, Lanzhou beef noodles have captured the palates of diners both at home and abroad. Behind its increasing popularity lies a glimpse of Chinese culinary culture making its way to the world.
