Wanquan Food Diary (5) | noodles

Wanquan Ancient City did not produce wheat, but Wanquan people have a lively mind, a skillful mind, convenient transportation near the dam (quinoa producing area), and a series of articles on large-scale processing of gnome processing, making quinoa processing its own traditional industry, quinoa noodles becoming a dominant product, and noodle noodles becoming the traditional flavor of Wanquan Ancient City. Legend has it that the Qing Emperor Kangxi also came to Wanquan to taste the noodles. In order to consolidate the unity of the multi-ethnic state, Kangxi made several inspections of the northern Part of the Country. Once I came to Wanquan, I summoned a local chef to eat local specialties. The cook made noodle nests and mushroom lamb broth. After Kangxi ate it, he left a mouthful of incense and asked why the noodles were so fragrant? The cook explained that this is a "three-cooked" food, which must be fried before grinding, and the noodles should be poured with boiling water, and then steamed in the basket. So, its fragrance is incomparable. Kangxi couldn't help but sigh: "The noodles are really all the food."

The story of Kangxi eating noodles did not go away, and the value of Wanquan noodles increased greatly. When outsiders come to Wanquan, they must first taste the perfect noodles, eat them straight with joy, and always carry some back as gifts to relatives and friends when they leave. Wan Quan people are also impressed by the noodles, more careful in processing, the most important of which is to explore the "fried wheat deflation" of the unique skill: fried wheat can not be fired, the fire is mushy, the noodles are black and not tendons; the fire is small and not cooked, and the hair is sticky and fragrant. The heat should be just right – each grain of vinai is evenly heated during frying – expanding – bursting – degassing. The noodles fried in this way are white, tender and fragrant. According to the investigation and research, there are about dozens of practices of Wanquan City Noodles: pushing nests, rubbing fish and fish, pressing bars, feeding bases, playing bread cakes, sticking cakes, dumplings, lazy rolls, cut strips, yam fish, yam cakes, yam balls, etc. Here are a few typical noodle recipes:
