Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info As early as the 30s, Master Wu relied on a porridge shop for a living, and he mainly used this coke ring, according to the old man, the coke circle was made, and after more than a week, the coke circle was stunned and not skinny, and it was still crisp. Later, he was more famous, like the king of Jiaoquan in Nancheng - Master Wang Wenqi. There is also Master Ma Qingcai of the snack bar of Longfu Temple in Dongcheng, these are all big names in making coke circles.

In fact, don't underestimate this simple and ordinary focus circle, there is a lot more attention to it in the middle. Let's talk about this noodle first, you can't just make any noodles, that is particular about the noodles of the wheat mill in the Zhangjiakou area, you have to ask why? Listen to me slowly: this mouthful of wheat red skin is round grains, so the fried burnt circles are large and crispy. Of course, if you are making it at home and you can't find this noodle, you can replace it with 3 percent first-class flour and 7 percent standard flour. There are more than 10 kinds of salt, lump alkali, alum, peanut oil or sesame oil in the next ingredients, and the noodles should be mixed 4 times before and after.

In addition, the knife work is also exquisite, cutting the dough into small strips more than an inch long, and then taking two small strips and overlapping them, and then cutting a slit along the length. Then put it in the oil pan, when the small strip floats in the hot oil, quickly turn it over, and then insert the chopsticks into the seam, touch the seam wide, and then use the chopsticks to cover the seam, draw a few circles in the oil, and form a circle. In addition, like out of the pot or something, they are all knowledgeable, and the master with good craftsmanship pays attention to one or two sides out of 8, and a pound of noodles out of 80, no more, no less, see how difficult it is to really do this coke circle. But now it is difficult to eat authentic coke circles on the street, at present, the "diligence" of the capital can blow up a few coke circles like that, the real name of the coke circle is "coke" circle, the coke circle is black, chewed in the mouth, hard and skiny, not the taste of the authentic coke circle at all.
