Tips

usage
The gē reading is bound to 饹馇 gēzha, a regional pan-fried cake of millet or bean flour. This is the rarer of the two readings — the everyday one is toneless le in 饸饹 noodles.

Components

radical
饣 shí
food; to eat (radical form of 食)
The side-form food radical 饣, a compressed 食, marks 饹 as something edible, the same radical found in 饭 rice and 饼 flatbread.
phonetic
各 gè
each; every (here phonetic)
Right is 各, the phonetic. It points more clearly to the gē reading; in the common word 饸饹 it has weakened to a toneless le.
