| '''Crossing the Bridge Noodles''' (Simplified Chinese: 过桥米线; Traditional Chinese: 過橋米線; Pinyin: ''Guò qiáo mǐ xiàn''; also '''guoqiao mixian'''; crossing-the-bridge noodles) are a Yunnan rice-noodle meal: a large bowl of extremely hot broth arrives under a layer of insulating oil, while rice noodles and small dishes of thinly sliced meats, egg, vegetables, and seasonings are served separately for the diner to add in sequence so the broth cooks delicate ingredients. The dish is closely associated with '''Mengzi''' in southern Yunnan; Mengzi preparation technique is listed among China's national intangible cultural heritage projects (2014). The famous scholar-and-wife bridge story is a '''local legend''', not a fully documented single invention. Soft exclusive restaurant inventorship claims are folk.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing-the-bridge_noodles Source]</ref>
