The dish's name is a pun — 'chang' (intestine) and 'wang' (blood curd) together sound like the word for 'prosperous.'

Wheat noodles are served in a broth built with pork intestine and coagulated pork blood, topped with chili oil and pickled vegetables.

Why it's made this way: The name's lucky double meaning helped the dish's popularity spread among superstitious customers and vendors alike.
