Rice is one of the favorite breakfasts of Xiaoxiang people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info In terms of shape, there are two main categories - round powder and flat powder. Among them, the round powder is divided into thick and thin, and the flat powder is also wide and narrow, and the thickness is also different.

It is generally made by putting rice noodles in a colander and blanching them in a bucket of boiling water, pouring them into a bowl with a soup base, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onions, topped with stewed stock and topped.

Compared with noodles, rice noodles have a more delicate and soft texture, and with steaming broth and various toppings, eating a bowl of rice noodles can warm the whole stomach.

But now Ding Yiquan's practice is very different from the traditional soup powder method.

He also blanched the rice noodles with boiling water, but he was not in a hurry to put them in a bowl, but immersed them in ice water to let the rice noodles cool completely.

"Huh, is he going to make noodles?" Dai Jili said in surprise.

In addition to the traditional soup powder, rice noodles also have a way to eat mixed noodles.

After the rice noodles are blanched, add light soy sauce, chili oil and toppings and mix well, without adding broth.

"It's not like it, it doesn't seem like you need to mix the noodles with water, let alone ice water. Will it taste good if it's so cold?" Lin Tong said with some doubts.

Ding Yiquan drains the blanched rice noodles, then puts them in a bowl, adds chili oil, chopped green onions, chopped peanuts, white sesame seeds, and finally pours a large spoonful of crimson meat sauce.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my cold rice noodles are finished. After making a few bowls in this way, Ding Yiquan said.

"Well, the action is quite neat, it seems that your store business must be very good. Wang Lan said with a smile.

"It's ok. Ding Yiquan replied shyly, and quickly put the bowls of mixed rice noodles on the cart, and the staff sent them to the judges and Liu Mang.

The rice noodles in front of me are not bad. Although it is a little different from the traditional soup powder, there is no trace of heat. But the crimson meat sauce, the emerald green onions, the white sesame seeds, and the bright red chili oil are incomparably incomparably indicative - I am delicious!

Liu Mang picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, savored it for a while, and shook his head gently.

"How is it, judges?" Ding Yiquan asked impatiently after seeing the judges finish eating.

"Young man, where is your store?" Wang Lan asked.

"What's wrong with it near the train station?" Ding Yiquan was a little curious, did the taste of this bowl of noodles have anything to do with where he opened a shop?

"No wonder!" Dai Jili also put down his chopsticks: "All the people who eat your noodles are tourists, right?

"Of course, my store is at the train station, so I don't sell it to passengers. Ding Yiquan was a little funny.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Listen. Ding Yiquan was a little apprehensive in his heart.

"With all due respect, your mixes look good, and the colors of the various ingredients are well blended, which makes people very appetizing at first glance. But the taste is a little unsatisfactory. ”

"I also agree with Mr. Dai. Lin Tong also nodded: "It's okay to eat a few bites, but the more you eat in the back, the more greasy it becomes, although it is not difficult to swallow, but it is far from an amazing degree." ”

"Really? I also found this problem and wanted to improve it, but I didn't know where to start. Ding Yiquan scratched his head.

"Xiao Ding, Master Liu Mang is here, he must know what the problem is. Wei Tao said.

"Master Liu Mang, is my mixed noodles really hard to eat?" Ding Yiquan asked.

"It's not unpalatable, but it's not tasty either. Liu Mang picked up the microphone: "Your initial idea was to make rice noodles more smooth and more suitable for eating on hot days, right?"

"That's right! I combined the cold noodle method in the north with the rice noodles in the south, and I thought that this method would make the rice noodles more refreshing and less sticky. ”

"Good ideas! I have my own ideas. Liu Mang picked up the chopsticks and mixed the rice noodles in the bowl: "But have you ever thought about it, you use pork filling with red oil to fry the meat sauce toppings, which is already greasy enough, but the ice powder does not have a little temperature, causing the fat in it to quickly condense together, of course, the more you eat, the more difficult it is to eat." ”

"That'...... Is there any solution to that?"

"Yes!" Liu Mang was sure: "There are two ways." One is to give up using meat as a topping, just put crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, and a little old vinegar. Second, don't use pork and other livestock meat to stir-fry meat sauce. Because animal fat is easy to solidify when cold, it makes rice noodles taste very greasy. If you change it to fish or jellyfish or squid, there will be no problem. ”

"Really?" Ding Yiquan's eyes lit up: "I'll try it when I go back." ”

"I'll teach you how to make a bowl, anyway, the ingredients are ready-made. Liu Mang thought about it and walked off the judges' seat.

"That's great!" Ding Yiquan became excited, he could get the on-site guidance of the kitchen god, and this show was not in vain.

Liu Mang walked to the stove, grabbed some rice noodles and put them in a colander: "Actually, the idea of cold noodles is really good, but you haven't really learned to cook, and you don't know much about the characteristics of some ingredients." Anyone who has studied cooking for two years would not have made these common-sense mistakes. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the rice noodles were boiling in boiling water, Liu Mang took a bowl and put a little sugar, salt, light soy sauce, chili oil, and old vinegar to make a simple soup base.

"The soup base is good, but you put too much chili oil in it, just a little garnish. ”

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he scooped up the rice noodles in the boiling water, then immersed them in ice water to cool, then drained the water and put them in a bowl. Finally, sprinkle the chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions, and the bowl of mixed noodles is complete.

Liu Mang handed the mixed flour to Ding Yiquan: "In the future, you can put in a little chopped mustard cube, which can also add more flavor." ”

Ding Yiquan stirred the rice noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, then picked up a pinch and put it into his mouth, and immediately blurted out: "Well, it's delicious!"

The rice noodles soaked in ice water are very smooth, and there is a slight coolness in the mouth. The amount of chili oil in it is just right, which stimulates the taste buds without feeling particularly spicy. The addition of old vinegar and a little sugar enriches the layering of the taste, sweet and sour, which makes people appetize.

"Whew!huh!" Ding Yiquan picked up a bowl of rice noodles with a few chopsticks, and then licked his lips unsatisfied: "Master Liu Mang, what is the approximate amount of your condiment?"

"Portion?" Liu Mang shook his head: "In Chinese cuisine, there is no clear amount of sugar, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, everything depends on the chef's grasp of the taste of the diners. If you remember this taste, it should be about the same for a while to explore it yourself. ”

"By the way, Master Liu Mang, does this fan have a name?" Ding Yiquan asked again.

"Haha, I didn't put anything except seasoning, I think it's better to call it bald powder. ”

"Bald powder, that's a good name!" Wang Lan laughed: "Master Liu, give me a bowl too." ”

"I want it too!" Dai Jili and Lin Tong said in unison.
