Food starts with noodles

They always boil the sesame paste first, then add peanut butter, and then add light soy sauce, salt, sugar, oyster sauce or other condiments.

However, the ingredients are different, and the ratio of sesame paste is also different.

For example, when eating boiled mutton, the most authentic dipping sauce is Erba sauce with bean curd, chive flower sauce and shrimp oil.

But this formula will not work for hot dry noodles.

The sauce used to make hot dry noodles is very different from the dipping sauce.

First up is the amount of peanut butter.

The [-] sauce in the mutton has a high proportion of peanut butter.

In the sauce of hot dry noodles, the proportion of peanut butter generally does not exceed 20.00%.

Because when making hot and dry noodles, the peanut butter only needs to eliminate the bitterness of the sesame paste, and the amount of 20.00% is definitely enough.

The peanut butter is too delicate and has an indescribably sweet taste.

It's nothing to make a dipping sauce.

But when mixed with noodles, it will appear too sweet and greasy, making the noodles lose their refreshing characteristics.

The old man first scooped five spoonfuls of sesame paste into the bowl, and then spooned another spoonful of peanut butter. After a little stirring, pour in five spoonfuls of small ground sesame oil.

Then he took the chopsticks and stirred slowly.

Tahini is not only water-absorbent, but also oil-absorbent.

Xu Zhuo could see clearly that the ratio of sesame oil to sesame paste was almost one to one, no wonder those restaurants eliminated the oily method, the cost of this thing was indeed too high.

The top half of the bowl is sesame oil, and the bottom half is sesame paste. It was a bit difficult to stir at first.

However, as the stirring time increases, the speed of sesame oil visible to the naked eye is decreasing.

And more and more tahini.

When I first started stirring, the sesame paste was still a little sticky and couldn't blend with the peanut butter.

Now with the function of sesame oil, the two sauces not only blend together, but also emit fragrance.

"I'm just being lazy. In fact, I want to make a good sauce. It's the same as the Mizuki method. Add sesame oil in small amounts and many times, so that the sauce is evenly prepared."

But today's volume is relatively small, so there is no need to be so strict.

And today is mainly to teach Xu Zhuo, let him realize the difference in making sesame paste.

After the sesame oil in the bowl is completely incorporated into the sauce, the stirring comes to an end.

At this moment, the sesame paste in the bowl was much thinner than before, with a strong fragrance. When I picked it up with chopsticks, a thread of sesame paste dripped down the chopsticks.

Compared with Mizuki's sesame paste, this sesame paste is several grades higher in terms of consistency and fineness.

And because a lot of sesame oil is added, the taste of this sauce is very fragrant.

Next, the old man began to add condiments to the sauce.

One spoonful of soft white sugar, one spoonful of salt, two spoonfuls of light soy sauce, and one spoonful of oyster sauce.

After stirring evenly, a bowl of sauce for hot dry noodles is prepared.

"Grandpa, why do you need to add soft white sugar? Isn't white sugar okay?"

Soft white sugar and white granulated sugar are very similar, and both belong to white sugar.

But there are certain differences between the two.

The granules of white granulated sugar are relatively large and distinct, and it will make a rustling sound when it is poured out.

And the soft white sugar is all finely divided powder, which looks soft, like snow, and is very susceptible to moisture. It cannot be poured out when used, and can only be scooped with a spoon.

The old man stopped what he was doing, scooped up some soft white sugar and brought it to Xu Zhuo's mouth: "Open your mouth."

He fed Xu Zhuo a spoonful of soft sugar, and then asked, "Did you find anything?"

Xu Zhuo smacked his lips. In such a short period of time, the soft white sugar in his mouth had already melted to pieces. He didn't have time to chew it.

"It melts very slowly and tastes very sweet."

The old man took another spoonful of white sugar and fed it into his mouth: "What about this?"

Xu Zhuo felt that his mouth was full of white sugar. After these small particles entered the mouth, instead of melting, they stuck to the mouth.

He opened his mouth to chew a few times, making a creaking sound, and it took a long time for the white sugar in his mouth to melt.

And compared to the soft white sugar just now, the sweetness of this white sugar seems to be much lighter.

The old man said: "White sugar is easy to melt and has a higher sweetness. It is the best choice to enhance the freshness of the sauce. However, soft white sugar is not suitable for heating to make pastries, and can only be used directly."

After explaining this, the old man handed the bowl to Xu Zhuo: "You can taste the taste first, and then try to make some yourself. Don't be afraid of failure. At the beginning, there will be problems of one kind or another."

Xu Zhuo nodded, took the bowl, and tasted it pretendingly.

When the old man started making it just now, he heard the system's beep, and learned the skill of making sesame paste, and it was a whole series of skills.

It can be said that as long as sesame paste is used, he can make it.

But now it seems that this skill is completely unnecessary.

Because even if you practice, it is easy to master the deployment of sesame paste.

Ugh!

It's a waste of time to study hard.

Xu Zhuo sighed, those who didn't know thought he lost tens of thousands of dollars.

Now that the skills are in hand, there is no need to wait any longer.

Xu Zhuo took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang on WeChat, asking him to come to the store to eat hot dry noodles tomorrow.

Well, we have to make hot dry noodles before the task deadline.

In case there is something unsatisfactory about Dajiang, you can still adjust it.

Da Jiang happened to come to the school tomorrow to ask Ma Zhiqiang to send the bidding materials, so he simply made an appointment with Xu Zhuo to treat Ma Zhiqiang to dinner in the store tomorrow.

In order to appear more formal, Jiang also invited Cui Yong to accompany him.

Xu Zhuo never expected that Jiang would be so proactive after sending his message.

A few words and a few words set a table for tomorrow's lunch.

Although Sifang Restaurant doesn't have any big dishes, let alone fresh seafood.

But small restaurants have the benefits of small restaurants.

It is very safe to entertain others in such a place.

If Ma Zhiqiang came out of the big hotel staggeringly drunk, someone might sue the school.

Although it is not a big problem to eat, it is inevitable that this kind of thing will not make people think too much when it happens during the bidding of campus bicycles.

But it's different in Sifang restaurant, no matter how much he drinks, no one will think of treating guests and giving gifts.

After all, this is a small restaurant on the side of the road. If you drink too much, you can only say that you are addicted to alcohol. Who would invite dinner in this kind of place without any problems, and there is not even a private room.

In this regard, Dajiang has very rich experience.

And another advantage of eating at Sifang Restaurant is that Ma Zhiqiang will be very relaxed.

The bond of acquaintance between the two is Xu Zhuo, so Xu Zhuo's presence is also conducive to closer relationship with Ma Zhiqiang.

After finishing the chat with Jiang, Xu Zhuo began to think about how to make the noodles for Reganmian.

Chapter 451

Hot dry noodles use alkaline noodles.

Although Xu Zhuo has never done it, it is not difficult to do it.

After all, he has almost learned all the skills in pasta.

What he can't decide now is whether to make the noodles by machine or by hand.

The hot dry noodles sold in the market are all round machine noodles.

I have never seen hot dry noodles made by hand rolling.

But the machine makes noodles, without the blessing of skills, it is estimated that the noodles will be very mediocre.

Xu Zhuo prefers to roll the noodles by hand.

But this time the target of the mission is Da Jiang. If Da Jiang thinks that round noodles are the most authentic, he will be blind.

So Xu Zhuo hesitated, not knowing which way to do it.

"Xiao Zhuo, when was hot dry noodles invented?"

Seeing that Xu Zhuo had been hesitating whether to roll the noodles by hand or by machine, the old man couldn't help asking him this question.

Xu Zhuo has been paying attention to hot dry noodles recently, so he is naturally very clear about the source.

"It was made in the 30s and has been passed down to the present."

The old man asked again: "In the 30s, were there noodle machines?"

this……

Xu Zhuo was stopped by the question.

The old man went on to say: "The person who made the hot dry noodles was a noodle vendor by the river bank. Even if there was a noodle machine at that time, he couldn't afford it."

These words woke up Boss Xu.

Yup!

There were absolutely no noodle machines back then.

The noodles made are either dried noodles or hand-rolled noodles.

Definitely not machine side.

So don't worry about it at all.

Tomorrow it will be fine to roll out the noodles by hand.

It doesn't matter if it's authentic or not, as long as it's delicious.

After thinking this through, Boss Xu suddenly became enlightened.

He was too entangled in authenticity before.

No matter the spicy radish strips, capers, or sesame paste, they are all prepared according to the authentic method, which is a bit upside down.

Whether the hot and dry noodles are authentic or not, we must first look at whether they are delicious or not.

Unpalatable hot dry noodles, if you follow the authentic steps, everyone will not like it.

Delicious hot dry noodles, even if some are not the same as the authentic way, everyone will still love it.

In the category of authentic food, the first thing to consider is food, and the second is to consider whether it is authentic or not.

If it is difficult to swallow at all, no one will taste the authentic food.

"Ding! The host understands the true meaning of gourmet food, and specially rewards the D-level signature food——Authentic Jingcheng fried noodles. Congratulations to the host."

This prompt sound made Xu Zhuo a little confused.

The system is convulsed today?

It stands to reason that I just figured out the relationship between the authenticity and deliciousness of hot and dry noodles, so I should reward the practice of hot and dry noodles, or other Wuhan snacks.

As a result, a fried noodles was rewarded.

Isn't the system a bug?

But Zhajiang noodles are Zhajiang noodles, it’s better than nothing.

Zhajiangmian is not suitable for eating in winter, and people in the Central Plains are not very popular with Zhajiangmen.

Compared with fried noodles, people prefer to eat stewed noodles or hand-rolled noodles.
