Although there are thousands of noodle restaurants in Xiangyang, no one can say which one is the most authentic!
There are decades-old noodle restaurants that have been passed down for three generations and have become the favorites of gourmets, and there are also rising stars who occupy the top of the major must-eat lists with their unique tastes.
However, the ever-changing noodle restaurant can be called authentic in the hearts of Xiangyang people, and it must be inseparable from these three key elements!
First, the noodles must be alkali noodles, although there is no previous nest noodles, but only the beef noodles made of alkali noodles can be called Xiangyang beef noodles!
Second, the oil must be made of butter, that mouthful of butter, how many Xiangyang people's initial memory of beef noodles, on the authentic, butter must be the way!
That last key point is fried tofu! Although many times we will ignore this inconspicuous point, but the beef noodles of Lao Xiangyang are indispensable to this bite!
If the alkali noodles cast the bones of the beef noodles, and the butter piles up its flesh and blood, then the soul of the beef noodles must be the "fried tofu" that should not be tolerated!
In this case, almost most noodle restaurants can restore the old taste of the year, but the fried tofu can no longer find a few.
Maybe it's too much trouble to fry, or maybe it's the soft and rotten taste of tender tofu that has changed the taste buds of most Xiangyang people.
But whenever we are asked by foodies, "Where are the noodle restaurants for fried tofu?" "When we did, we knew that the soul of this beef noodle was never forgotten.
The surface of the fried bean bubble is golden, and there is almost no meat inside, but it is this "thrown" texture that is the most juice-sucking.
Chopsticks press it to the bottom of the bowl, soak in the rich noodle soup and then stuff it into the mouth, a bite is a mouthful of juice, this taste is simply refreshing!
The following is a search for noodle restaurants that are still using fried tofu, so let's find our original memories together!

///
We have visited nearly 100 noodle shops, many of which have been open for decades and have taken over the burden from their parents generation to generation.
There are also noodle restaurants that boast of learning traditional crafts, pull a piece of red cloth and write the word "authentic" with a big hand, but they do not stop cooking every two days.
There are many criteria for judging whether a beef noodle is delicious, and people with a weak taste will feel that it is refreshing and refreshing, spicy, and will feel spicy enough to taste.
But if you only talk about authenticity, in this era, you are still willing to work hard to fry beans every day, and it will not be too bad.
Which noodle restaurant do you love to eat?
