Chapter 763: The Hollow Noodles on the Tip of the Tongue

Deidara had a hint of discoloration in her eyes and cautiously tried it.

Suddenly, the taste exploded!

The soup is spicy and hot, the meat is evenly tender, and the flavor is fragrant!

There is nothing to say about the delicious food, and there is no way to find fault with it!

So, Deidara feasted on a large piece, swept away, and there was not a drop left, which was really a feast for the eyes and mouth!

Meanwhile.

Inside the kitchen.

Yang Ming is preparing to cook a new dish called hollow noodles.

That's right, it's the hollow noodles that appeared in the Tip of the Tongue series.

Hollow noodles are slender, soft and strong, boiled in the pot for a long time, delicious, because the noodles are hollow, so it is called hollow noodles, as early as more than 500 years ago in the Yuan Dynasty was famous, and as a "tribute", every year to the royal family, has been followed until the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is also called "tribute noodles", and it is a very famous dish in the Manchu and Han banquets.

In the world of Little Master, there is a special chef cooking competition, as the protagonist of that world, he once used beef tendon noodles to win, and the beef tendon noodles made by Little Master are taken from hollow noodles, which is a kind of food innovation.

Traditionally, the core skills of each craft have been kept secret and straightforward.

So before, Yang Ming would also guess that the hollow noodles were like a candy blower, first wrapped in sugar packets and then drawn at both ends, so as to form a hollow in the middle of the sugar shreds?

However, sugar can instantly condense and the surface is easy to stick, and the different materials make its production methods inevitably different.

In fact, the hollow noodles are mixed with fine flour plus an appropriate amount of oil and salt at the same time in a large wooden basin specially used for noodles, kneaded into thin strips, wear a small stick at both ends, store for several hours, wait for the oil and salt to fully penetrate, hang on the wooden frame two zhang high, slowly pull down with both hands, when pulling to a certain length, the dough silk forms a hollow, and then let it fall naturally, the sun drys, take both ends for the noodles;

The technique of hollow noodles is very complex, and there are processes such as mixing noodles, kneading noodles, resting noodles, pan large strips, pan small strips, dough groove hanging on the awake surface, hanging on the hanger, etc., and the hollow appears when the first plate is large.

The large strip is sprinkled on the pavement and rolled into a strip, and the auxiliary noodles in the past are millet noodles, but now they are grain noodles, and the proportion of thick and thin flour is slightly different, which may be the core of becoming hollow.

After many stretches, the hollow always exists, it is worth mentioning that the hollow is not the traditional straight line hollow, but the spiral hollow, even if it is as thin as a hair, the face and eye are like the tip of a needle, which is of course not unrelated to the proportion of water, surface and salt.

It's a great test of a chef's abilities.

In this process, whether it is the weather or the temperature, it is the key to the success or failure of the dish, and the chef needs to be very careful and delicate.

As the saying goes, "somen noodles don't mix salt", but hollow noodles are actually "salty noodles".

The use of various tile pots, surface troughs, hangers, face columns and other tools, the change of seasons, the dryness and humidity of the air, and the timing of waking up and drying noodles are all the crystallization of the wisdom of folk production and life practice for thousands of years, and they can never be learned at a glance.

Handmade hollow noodles, 13 processes, 4 times of fermentation, each noodle stretched to 3 meters long, baptized by the sun, after 17 hours, has long been miraculously hollow, the achievement of soft wheat taste, no muddy soup, no sticky lumps, long cooking is not easy to rot and not easy to break.

Due to the relatively long production time of hollow noodles, the hollow noodles placed in front of Yang Ming were made by him before.

Hollow noodles are a little clumsy, but they are a source of deliciousness.

Hollow noodles are different from ordinary noodles in that there is a small hole in the middle of the noodles that seems to breathe.

Therefore, although the noodles are slender, they can absorb a lot of soup, are resistant to cooking and easy to taste, and are still transparent when cooked, which is much more refreshing and thorough than ordinary dried noodles.

It is made of stone-ground flour, mud pond noodles, handmade, refined by more than a dozen traditional processes, and has an incomparable taste and nutrition of machine noodles.

I saw that the hollow noodles made were like silver wires, thin and hollow, and they could be breathable by blowing, and they were very appetizing at a glance.

Since the texture of the hollow noodles itself is very good, there is no need to cook them in a complicated way.

The way to eat hollow noodles is different from ordinary dry noodles, when boiling, it is necessary to put twice as much water as ordinary dry noodles, take a small handful and cook a large bowl, and there is no need to put oil and salt and other condiments after cooking, however, if it can be accompanied by chicken soup or other condiments, the taste is more delicious, for people who have lost appetite or have recovered from a long illness, it can arouse appetite and strengthen the body.

Therefore, Yang Ming and chicken soup are boiled together, and the noodles absorb the essence of the soup, and they taste like fresh chicken, plump and satisfying, and have an aftertaste.

The noodles are good enough on their own and don't require special recipes and ingredients to be delicious enough. Cook for 1 minute, stir in some gravy and soy sauce.

It is worth noting that when cooking hollow noodles, you must cook the noodles in wide water, put a spoonful of salt and a little cooking oil in the water, the noodles will be stronger and not easy to lump, just boil the pot under water for about a minute and a half, and then go through warm or cold water again, otherwise the noodles will not be elastic enough.

While the people in Deidara were anxiously waiting, the waiters came out of the kitchen with bowls of hot hollow noodles.

The steaming, fragrant, smooth and soft hollow noodles, the white noodles, the yellowish sesame oil, the green coriander, and the chocolate-colored noodle soup with vinegar alone are mouth-watering.

Smelling the fragrance wafting out, everyone suddenly lit up!

"What a fragrant smell!"

"Boss, what kind of face is this?"

Deidara picked up a column of noodles and looked at the hollow in the middle of the noodles, which was very strange, and her heart seemed to be tickling, and she felt extremely curious.

Yang Ming smiled: "The face is like its shape, this is a hollow surface." ”

"It looks so good! It's completely different from the noodles I've eaten before, and it has a charm that appeals to me!"

Deidara sighed again and again, he couldn't care about going to work, how could he still have the heart to work at the moment of food!

Thinking so, Deidara opened her mouth and began to eat the noodles.

"Suck and suck, suck and suck......"

A crisp sound rang out, and Deidara used so much force that the juice splashed and landed on the table, condensing drops of yellow soup.

As soon as he entered his mouth, Deidara was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"It's delicious, isn't it?"

"It's so smooth and chewy, it's hard to describe this deliciousness in words!"

"The taste of the noodles is very special, not only refreshing and chewy, but also a bit of magical springiness. ”

Just as Deidara was eating refreshingly, he suddenly found that the bowl was already in the end, and he couldn't help but let out a complaint:

"Oh my God, why is there only such a small bowl, and I finished it so quickly!"
