Food starts with noodles

Are you so determined?

After he finished taking the photos, he noticed that the license plate number of this big G was Xiang A, so he greeted Yuan Kang familiarly: "Is your car? It's so handsome!"

Yuan Kang smiled and chatted with him about Shanxi.

"When I was studying in Taiyuan, the coal ash I inhaled in my stomach every year was enough to make two briquettes. However, the environment there has improved a lot in recent years, and there is no more coal ash in the sky."

Guo Xingwang nodded: "It is true that there is less coal ash. Since entering Shanxi, Grandpa Feng has been talking about it. Shanxi has changed, and it doesn't have the same taste as before.

At that time, I didn't know what he was talking about, but now it seems that I can't see the soot all over the sky, and I can't get used to it. "

Several people chatted and entered the restaurant, Guo Xingwang greeted everyone, then strolled to the kitchen.

You have to go to work when you come back, so you can't be idle.

Moreover, he also shoulders the mission of revitalizing Shanxi pasta, so he cannot be lazy.

Not only did he not choose to take a day off, but Shi Lei also changed into his overalls and went to the back kitchen to start working, which made Xu Zhuo curious for a while, whether he was going to collect music or do some kind of workplace development training?

How did you come back from running around and become so dedicated to your job?

or……

Turning around, in the name of team building, let everyone in the store follow Feng Weiguo out for a walk?

Half an hour later, Feng Weiguo appeared at the door of the back kitchen.

Well, I changed my clothes, washed my face, and seemed to have shaved my beard.

The whole person looked at least five years younger than when he got off the car.

Well, I want to make a good impression on my fans.

It was only at this moment that Feng Weiguo had time to chat with Yuan Kang, asked about Yuan Desheng's situation, recalled the past at Yangzhou University together last year, and then brought the topic to Shanxi cuisine.

To be precise, it is related to the noodle dish of oat noodles and 栳栳栳.

Youmian 栲栳栳 is a kind of pasta made with oat noodles. Because it looks like 栲栳, which is also commonly known as a bucket, it is called 饺面栲栳栳.

The reason why there are two "栳栳" is mainly related to the pronunciation of Jin dialect. There are many overlapping words in Jin dialect, and 栲栳栳 is one of them.

The so-called naked noodles refer to flour made from naked oats.

Oat noodles contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and other nutrients and pharmaceutical ingredients needed by the human body, which can treat and prevent diabetes, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and other diseases, and are also rich in linoleic acid , has obvious effects on human metabolism.

Eating oat noodles is a tradition in northern Shanxi and even in Hebei and Mongolia.

In fact, there are Mongolian oat noodles in Jiang Dabiao's Mongolian restaurant next door.

However, Mongolian oat noodles are generally eaten as noodles, which are not the same form as oat noodles.

After talking about this, taking advantage of everyone's excitement, Feng Weiguo got up and went to the back kitchen to prepare for making, so that everyone could have a good taste.

Because besides him and Yuan Kang, no one else had ever seen oatmeal 栲栳栳, and didn't know what it tasted like, so they couldn't join this topic at all.

As one of the top ten pasta dishes in Shanxi, it is not difficult to make oat noodles, but it is somewhat different from pasta made of wheat flour.

For example, oat noodles need to be mixed with boiling water, then steamed, and finally served with toppings or dipped in garlic and vinegar sauce.

Yuan Kang was not very interested in the production process. Taking this opportunity, he drove back to the company to handle the work at hand, and uploaded the video shot yesterday.

In the past two days, the number of hits on Xu Wenhai's video has increased significantly, and some fitness bloggers and food bloggers jumped out to discuss Xu Wenhai's practices.

Some people say that the calories are still very high, and some people say that it can't achieve the purpose of health at all.

In particular, several methods of chicken breast meat in the first phase were criticized by a group of fitness enthusiasts.

In the eyes of these people, chicken breast can only be boiled, and other methods are heresy, and all are not good for health.

But more people think that while pursuing health, it is understandable to make a little concession to delicious food.

Let’s talk about Xu Wenhai’s several methods in the video. He didn’t put any oil at all, and the amount of salt was very small. How could it become an unforgivable crime?

This kind of dispute exists on several platforms.

As for the instigator of the dispute, it was naturally Yuan Kang.

He used this tactic when he was promoting Xiangmanlou, and now he uses it more easily. He can easily stir up disputes between the two parties, and from time to time he will use a trumpet to act as a rationalist and make sarcastic remarks.

While Yuan Kang was building fires everywhere, Feng Weiguo was in the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant, starting to make oat noodles.

First put the oat noodles, which are darker in color than the flour, into a basin, then pour boiling water into them, stir them into flocs with chopsticks, and then knead them into dough.

When kneading the dough, Xu Zhuo took over the job.

Pasta is Mr. Xu's strong point, and he is also very interested in this Shanxi cuisine with a strange name.

So I wanted to give it a try.

It is not important to learn how to learn, the key is to have a sense of participation, so that the taste of eating will be better.

After kneading the oat dough, Feng Weiguo said: "Actually, at this time, divide the dough into small pieces and steam it in a steamer, the texture will become smooth, but it's a bit troublesome to make..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhuo took a kitchen knife and cut the dough on the chopping board into several pieces.

For the sake of delicious food, what is a little trouble?

Besides, there are steaming cabinets in the store, so you can steam it however you want, for as long as you want, and it has nothing to do with trouble.

However, this dough is meant to be hot, so if it is steamed again, it will become stickier.

Will this really be tasty?

Chapter 1018

Following Feng Weiguo's instructions, Xu Zhuo flattened the divided dough slightly with his hands, then placed it flat on the steaming plate, and sent it into the steaming cabinet to start steaming.

"Grandpa Feng, how long does it take to steam this stuff if it is thoroughly steamed?"

Feng Weiguo said with a smile: "15 minutes is enough. This step is mainly to let the dough relax with heat, so that the dough will become smooth."

Naked oats are very different from wheat because they grow in alpine regions.

For example, naked oats have to go through three stages of life and three crops from harvesting to serving the table.

The naked oats are harvested and pulled to the field for threshing. These naked oats are all raw, which can be regarded as "a lifetime".

If you want to grind naked oats into oat flour, you have to fry the oats first like making sesame oil, which is "one-cooked".

After the naked oats are fried and ground into flour, they become raw again, so this is "second raw".

When kneading oat noodles into dough, boiled water should be used to knead the noodles. The boiled water has already cooked the noodles, which is "secondary cooking".

The reconciled dough is processed into the shape of 栲栳栳 again, and it becomes a raw embryo, which is "three lives".

The ready-made 栲栳栳 is steamed in a pan, and after steaming, it becomes "three-cooked".

The three raw and three cooked naked oats not only reflect the rarity of food in the alpine region, but also reflect the rarity of this delicacy.

Perhaps it is this kind of tossing that endows the oat noodles with deliciousness and deliciousness.

Let this unique delicacy stand out in Shanxi, which has a wide variety of pasta, and successfully ranks among the top ten pasta.

While steaming the dough, Feng Weiguo was not idle, he began to prepare the toppings for the noodles.

The delicacy of oat noodles and 栳栳栳 needs to be eaten with toppings or dipping sauces. The most common ones are mutton toppings, tomato scrambled egg toppings, and vinegar garlic or chili oil dipping sauce.

Some places also make some marinade similar to fried sauce, which is also very delicious when poured on the steamed kale.

After all, today is a show, so Feng Weiguo prepared a rich topping and dipping sauce.

There are four kinds of toppings alone, including mushroom topping, tomato egg topping, mutton topping and pork belly topping.

The dipping ingredients include garlic vinegar and chili oil from the store. He said that there is still chili sauce in Shanxi, but there is no such thing in the store, and the chopped peppers made by Xu Zhuo can't be eaten yet, so he can only give up.

The method of all kinds of saozi is relatively simple, that is, cut the meat into small pieces, then stir-fry them in a pot, add water to simmer slightly, and add some side dishes, that's it.

To put it aside, Feng Weiguo had to do all these things himself.

But it's not necessary now, he just mixed various ingredients and handed it over to Guo Xingwang to do it.

Well, the apprentice is just a tool man.

No need to be white.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Xu Zhuo brought out the dough from the steamer.

Now the dough looks softer and smoother than before.

After it cooled slightly, Xu Zhuo kneaded the dough again according to Feng Weiguo's reminder.

Oat noodles are different from flour. If wheat flour was tossed like this, it would have been useless for a long time.

But the oat noodle dough is still very chewy, and kneading is a bit similar to the dough for braised noodles.

The grain grown in the alpine region has a gluten quality that is incomparable to that of the plain area.

After kneading the dough, you don’t need to wake up the dough, just knead the dough into long strips while it is still warm, and then divide it into small doses slightly larger than your fingertips.

Next, it's time to make the shape of 栲栳栳.

Feng Weiguo took a noodle agent and put it on the chopping board to flatten it, then put it on the surface of the kitchen knife, and pushed the noodle agent forward with the part of the tiger's mouth.

Then, the surface agent becomes an irregular strip.

And because it is pushed out from the tiger's mouth, the thickness of the dough is not consistent.

But if you want delicious oat noodles, you have to do this.

Remove the dough piece from the knife surface, and roll it on the index finger to form a hollow cylinder shape. This is the raw embryo of oat noodles.

Put the finished cylinders vertically on the steaming tray one by one, and when the steam in the steaming cabinet came up, Feng Weiguo asked Xu Zhuo to put the steaming trays into the steaming cabinet and start steaming.

The steaming time of oat noodle 栲栳栳 does not need to be too long, just steam for five to six minutes.

Because the oat noodles are basically cooked when kneading them, and the dough is steamed for more than ten minutes, at least it is almost mature.

So steam for a few more minutes, heat up the Kao Kao and eat it.

After 8 minutes, Xu Zhuo brought out the steamed 栲栳栳 from the steam cabinet, and then carefully took out these cylindrical pasta with chopsticks and put them on a plate.

Put a spoonful of Guo Xingwang's toppings on it and you're ready to eat.

"Mutton simmered mushroom soup, the family eats Shijiaxiang, come, come, Xiao Zhuo, try this delicious Shanxi food."

Feng Weiguo handed Xu Zhuo a plate of 栲栳栳 topped with mutton saozi for him to taste.

Xu Zhuo was not polite either, he picked up a cylinder mixed with mutton sausage with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, after chewing for a while, his eyes widened immediately.

this thing...

It is so delicious!

The taste of oat noodles is slightly harder and more chewy, but because of steaming during the production process, the taste is a bit slippery, which is a bit like an enhanced version of knife-shaved noodles.

On the surface of the oat noodles, the uneven folds pressed out by the tiger's mouth are covered with mutton soup, which tastes very delicious.

Moreover, these soups add a little more fragrance and moisture to the strong noodles. After eating, I just want to continue eating, and I don't even care about applauding.

After eating several mouthfuls in a row, Xu Zhuo took one from the side plate without toppings, dipped it in the prepared garlic dipping sauce and put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, a strong hot and sour taste spread in the mouth.

This hot and sour flavor paired with the gluten-like texture of oatmeal gluten immediately sublimates people.

It seems that everything in the world has become unimportant, and only the idea of ​​continuing to eat is left in my mind.

This is probably the charm of food, right?

As for the other toppings and dips, the flavors varied, but were all very tasty.

Xu Zhuo ate two plates in a row before putting down his chopsticks with a full belch.

Delicious, really delicious.

When he was doing it just now, he searched for relevant information, and said that when Qianlong went to Wutai Mountain, he lingered on this delicacy, saying that eating this delicacy was a joy in life.

Xu Zhuo lost all interest immediately.

Because there are too many dishes in the food circle next to Qianlong, an Internet celebrity in the Qing Dynasty, so many that it makes people feel a little tired.

And almost all delicacies have such a set of rhetoric, which is really uninteresting.
