Noodle paste, Tianzi also loves to eat
Noodle batter also has a good name
It's called "Dragon's Whiskers Pearl Porridge"
Speaking of this beautiful name
I have to mention this legendary story
According to legend, one year the Qianlong Emperor came to a small village in Quanzhou
Unfortunately, the village was in the midst of a famine, and the villagers were too poor to open the pot
Just in time for dinner, Qianlong walked into Yi Xiucai's home
Xiucai's wife is in a hurry
Leave the house to gnaw on leftover pig bones and fish bones
Wash it and boil a bowl of soup
Then use chopped noodles and tapioca flour to make a bowl of noodle paste
When Qianlong ate it, he was shocked in his heart, "How can it be so delicious?" ”
Then he asked what this "dragon's whisker pearl porridge" was made of?
Xiucai's wife pretended to be a family secret recipe,
Processed with fine noodles and premium refined sweet potato flour
As soon as the emperor was happy, he rewarded this clever daughter-in-law
The noodle batter has also been passed down
Noodle paste, Minnan people eat so
Noodle batter as a traditional dish of southern Fujian
Nutritious and fresh in taste
It can often be seen at breakfast and supper
But the taste is still slightly different
Especially Quanzhou noodle paste and Xiamen noodle batter
Quanzhou noodle paste, more like paste
The noodles are very thin, the soup is thick and tastes like a paste
And the batter must be added with ingredients
Fritters, vinegared meat, braised eggs, large intestines, duck tendons...
Otherwise, there is no feeling of fullness when you drink it
Compared with
The noodles of the Xiamen noodle paste are thicker
The soup is not as thick as Quanzhou
Compared to Quanzhou with drinks
Xiamen's noodle paste is more like eating noodles and drinking noodle soup
Minnan people can't do without noodle paste
Not just because of its taste
It is even more because of its inheritance of the customs of southern Fujian
New Year's Festival, Red and White Celebrations
There are those for ceremonies, those for worshiping God, those who receive wind...
The noodle line is closely related to the folk culture of the Minnan people
