The origin of dandan noodles is different, but the teachers in the Sichuan cuisine faction generally believe that it should come from eastern Sichuan. The reason is very simple, the three major factions of Sichuan cuisine, Shanghe Gang (western Sichuan region), Xiaohe Gang (Yanbang cuisine), and Xiahe Gang (eastern Sichuan region) each use chili peppers in different ways, and the use of chili peppers in dandan noodles is the usage of Xiahe Gang. One of the main raw materials, Chuandong cuisine, that is, the old pickles called by the people of Sichuandong. And not Sichuan winter vegetables. It is a specialty of the Dazhou area.

The so-called "shaved pick-one is hot", and the same is true for the picks of dan noodles: this end is a briquette stove, and there is a pot sitting on it, and of course there is hot water in it; At the other end are the dishes, chopsticks, spices and buckets for washing dishes. Then you can use the flat shoulder on your shoulder, swaying, trembling along the street, and shouting while walking: "Dan Dan Noodles, Dan Dan Noodles" The name of Dan Dan noodles comes from this special era and selling methods; Dandan noodles are well-known for their seasoning and common noodles.

Let's talk about noodles first, in fact, they are called noodles or toppings by people from other provinces. Sichuan people are accustomed to divide noodles into three types: soup noodles, thin marinated noodles and dry noodles. Soup noodles are noodles with soup, such as braised beef noodles, beef noodles in clear soup, stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms, etc.; Dilute braised noodles are thicker than noodles, and there is usually a thickening process, such as braised noodles, garlic eel noodles, etc. Dry stewed noodles refer to fried noodles, which are generally more dry, such as noodles with mixed sauce and dandan noodles.

The dough of dandan noodles is very distinctive, we are used to calling it "crispy noodles", as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is delicious, and it is not difficult to make: take the pork leg meat and chop it into minced meat, and the sweet noodle sauce is dissolved with a little oil; Then put the pot on the fire, put a little oil to heat, then fry the minced meat, add cooking wine to fry the water, add salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate to taste, and then put in an appropriate amount of sweet noodle sauce and fry until fragrant, the minced meat presents an attractive brown color (if the color is lighter, you can add a little soy sauce), gently spit out the oil to be able to get out of the pot and put it aside.

Don't be seduced by this aroma and can't help but steal two mouthfuls, and guess you'll turn the dough into a dish. Let's talk about seasoning. There are a lot of seasonings in the bowl of dandan noodles: salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, broken rice sprouts, chopped green onions, and a little fresh soup, and some people will add some crushed peanuts and sesame powder to enhance the flavor. It may seem like a lot of work, but that's where the Sichuan chef comes in.

Sichuan chef Gao Ming is high at using taste to stimulate your taste buds and absorb your appetite with taste, so that people can't forget it after eating; The subtlety of Sichuan chefs lies in the ability to combine a lot of seasoning ingredients together, so that they can be blended and unified, and one flavor is better than another. Stir-fry the noodles and put the seasonings in them, and you can start cooking the noodles. Once the noodles are cooked, put them in a seasoned bowl and sprinkle with a little pasta.
