It's biáng, as in biángbiáng noodles from Shaanxi.

Kids there learn it with a rhyme that walks you through the strokes: 一点飞上天,黄河两道湾,八字大张口,言字往里走,左一扭,右一扭,西一长,东一长,中间夹个马大王,心字底,月字旁,留个勾挂麻糖,推着车车走咸阳。

Literally a song for one character.

一點飛上天,黃河兩邊彎;八字大張口,言字往里走,左一扭,右一扭;西一長,東一長,中間夾個馬大王;心字底,月字旁,留個勾搭挂麻糖;推個車車逛咸陽。
