Chapter 524: Contributing to the recipe of the Central Plains

Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the north, if you want to talk about what to eat at noon, when you say to eat noodles, then the absolute force is hand-rolled noodles. If you want to eat noodles, it is absolutely necessary to mix noodles first, and then whether you eat knife-cut noodles or baked noodles, etc., in short, it is definitely freshly made.

But in the south, I rubbed it, said to eat noodles, and it turned out to be dried noodles.

Somen noodles are the same as instant noodles in the north, and they are food storage, which is eaten when you don't want to cook, or when you especially want to eat. Otherwise, you will never eat it on weekdays.

In later generations, Wu Yuanqing's family would never be able to eat somen once or twice a year, and other people's families were too. If there are guests at home, then they won't eat any noodles, unless there is really nothing to eat, but then the host will feel very rude and inconsiderate. If you don't have enough things at home, then the host will eat the noodles and won't let the guests eat them.

You can imagine what kind of existence it is in the north.

But in the south, somen noodles are eaten as a staple food, and when it comes to what you eat at noon, what you eat will be somen noodles. Not only in ordinary people's homes, but also in restaurants, the noodles are often made.

Wu Yuanqing, a northerner, went to a restaurant to eat, and when ordering, he always had to ask if you were using somen noodles, if he was somen noodles, he would never eat them.

As a northerner, two fools will go to restaurants to eat somen noodles, but southerners don't count, because they are used to that.

It's a dietary difference between the North and the South.

But in the Central Plains, which belongs to the junction of the north and south, it is said that wheat is produced here, unlike Hedong, because of the climate, many places can not grow wheat, only corn, millet, buckwheat, sorghum and other things.

But the pasta here is far inferior to Hedong, which is not able to grow wheat much, and it is not as good as Guanzhong.

The land of pasta is talking about Hedong instead of the Central Plains, which makes Wu Yuanqing very puzzled. In later life, he had a very good friend who was from Jiaozuo in the Central Plains.

Wu Yuanqing asked him what your noodles are more famous for, he thought about it for a long time, and then in addition to the stewed noodles, he thought for a long time and then held back a slic.

Mamma Mia, the stewed noodle bar must be a special noodle dish in the Central Plains, but you can pull a slice of it, hehe, Hedong, where is there no place in Guanzhong.

Then Wu Yuanqing understood that the wheat in the Central Plains is far less pasta than in his hometown Hedong.

Hedong, on Wu Yuanqing's family, the noodles often eaten are hand-rolled noodles, knife-cut noodles, steamed noodles, tadpoles, cat ears, stewed noodles, sharp points, rubbed tips, etc., it is easy to eat normally for a week without heavy samples.

There are quite a few types of cakes, just pancakes, among which the most commonly eaten are fermented cornmeal pancakes with saccharin, and green onion pancakes with white noodles and chopped green onions.

After the end, there is a dry noodle cake, that is, the dead noodles are used, and then a layer of salt, oil, and dough filling is sandwiched in the middle, the dry noodle cake is the best when it is just baked, crispy, a hot breath with salt fragrance, and the oil fragrance goes straight to the nose, which is also Wu Yuanqing's favorite.

When he was a child, he liked to eat the most, and in the winter there was no heat, so his little man stood in front of the stove and held the money and told the boss that you would heat it for me, and then wait until the cake was heated before paying the money to the boss.

Then there are pancakes, which are often eaten with scallion pancakes, and the other is fried pancakes. This is actually very similar to the scallion pancake, but it is not as soft as the scallion pancake and the noodles, the noodles are harder, and they are fried in oil.

Another kind of Wu Yuanqing never forgets is that in winter, he will make fried noodles at home, this kind of fried noodles is not fried with boiled noodles, but fried flour. In their hometown, it is called tea, and there are also places called tea noodles, oil tea noodles.

There are differences in the method, their hometown is very simple, fried with millet flour or millet flour, of course, there are also white flour.

Stir-fry the flour with the fine powder of peppercorn grinding and salt, and fry it until it is browned. Then when eating, just boil the water and mix it with tea noodles, not as thick as other places such as oil tea, and add what sesame sauce and the like, they don't add anything, the tea soup is very thin and very thin.

Then the cake to be served with the tea is baked on the same day as the roasted tea noodles, and the cake is called sesame oil cake.

Not because the cake is made of sesame oil, but because the filling inside the cake is hemp seeds left over from frying oil.

Coarse cornmeal husk, with a thin layer of salted hemp seed shells sandwiched inside, take a bite of sesame oil cake, drink a sip of tea, it feels fragrant, delicious and bursting.

Well, I'm embarrassed to talk about it and talk away again.

At this time, Datang didn't have Hu spicy soup, even if there were no decent cakes, Wu Yuanqing felt unhappy, as a foodie, Wu Yuanqing felt that he should contribute to the recipes in the Central Plains.

He basically did what he could do about stir-frying, and it spread in the upper class in Chang'an, and even the main dishes of the restaurants in the East and West City have long since bid farewell to steaming and roasting, and have become all kinds of stir-fried dishes.

But the pasta, Wu Yuanqing didn't make a lot, and he often ate them, and as for the cakes, he also taught the cook to make scallion pancakes and fried pancakes.

The others are still stuck in memory and not taken out.

Since there is no one, then make your own spicy soup and all kinds of cakes, and forget the cakes that have taught the cook at home, and if you want to do it, you can make it that you have never done before.

It's easy to make Hu spicy soup, and there are no special requirements for pots, but you need to get some professional pots to make pancakes or something.

It's not that the pointed bottom pan can't be done, but it doesn't do much, and the uneven heating is not easy to control.

Therefore, he specially drew pictures for the blacksmith to create a new type of pot and pan that surprised the little son.

The stove is built, the firewood is lit and the coal is added, then the cold water pot is sitting, and then the mutton bones are put in, and let it cook the simple mutton bone broth on the side, Wu Yuanqing began to mix noodles in the clay pot.

Because the stove for making dry bread has just been built, and it needs to be burned to let the walls of the oven dry before it can be baked, so I can't make it today.

There are only three kinds of cakes that Wu Yuanqing wants to make today, and one of them is the most common snack on the street in later generations, egg scones.

The dough of the egg scramble is harder than the dough of the other two types of pancakes, so it is difficult and a little bit to live first.

Egg scones are said to have originated in Xinyang, but because there are such snacks in the north as Hedong, Guanzhong and other surrounding provinces, it is not easy to determine the specific origin.

The tricker thing to do about egg scones is how to make them into two layers. The method is actually the same as making dry pastry, that is, adding a little oil flour in the middle to make a puff pastry, or just brushing the oil.

In this way, when the side that has been brushed with oil or puff pastry is wrapped in the middle and rolled out again, it is put to the bottom of the oiled frying pan to the middle of it, and then you can pick it up with chopsticks and pour the beaten egg juice into it.

Then fry a successful egg scone on both sides and make more than half of it, and then add other accessories, such as sweet noodle sauce, chili spicy, anyway, what you add depends on what you have.

You are like Tianjin, where the egg scones are rubbed, where is the egg scones, that is, pancakes or pancakes made with egg liquid on the outside of the pancakes, and the middle is not a lettuce ham, people are sandwiched with shredded potatoes, mustard, or shredded carrots, etc.

Anyway, each has its own way, and Wu Yuanqing used the practice of his hometown in later generations.
