Today's summer, the sound of cicadas chirping, the clamor is getting louder and louder.
The temperature is soaring, the appetite is low, and the only bowl of cold noodles that can save the taste buds is also.
At the beginning of summer, Wuhan cold noodles shine on the scene. On the small carts in the streets and alleys, the signboard of "cool skin noodles are for sale" was hung uniformly.
In the middle of the night, on the supper table of the food stall, the sound of "boss, add a piece of cold noodles" rises and falls, just a mouthful of cold noodles, and then a plate of XUO edamame, Coke beer unlimited, Wuhan people's summer is complete.
But cold noodles are not a patent of Wuhan, from the south to the north, there are cold noodles at summer tables all over China.
Cold noodles are also known as "over the water", and ancient times are called "cold tao". According to legend, before Wu Zetian entered the palace, he was burned on his tongue when eating noodles with his playmates, and the two of them studied and innovated the way to eat cold noodles.
In Jinhua, Zhejiang, the rice is ground into a pulp, steamed and pressed into strips to dry, when eaten, boiled in boiling water, and then repeatedly over the cold water, sharp green peppers and garlic hot oil stir-fry, add a few spoons of watercress sauce mix well, shaped like rice noodles "cold tao" completed.
Chicken shredded cold noodles are the leaders of Sichuan cold noodles, and red oil spicy seeds are a must. Three silk toppings are the classic of Shanghai cold noodles, meaningless which three silk, vegetarian zi bai silk, carrot shredded, green pepper shredded, meat shredded chicken, meat shredded, ham shredded, can be mixed and matched.
And when northerners are homesick in Wuhan, they will go to Lanzhou ramen shop to ask for a bowl of cold noodles, give tomatoes, no sesame sauce, and go home in one bite.
As wuhan people love sesame sauce is the Beijinger, the northern sesame sauce is thicker, pepper oil cucumber shreds, like according to personal preferences to a little water radish, celery minced and pickled toon minced, qi work.
Wuhan cold noodles, the biggest feature is the fusion of north and south, to rough and refined. Love sesame sauce is no problem, Sichuan's fine alkali noodles are also OK, vinegar and sesame oil, and add a little sugar, as for the side dishes ingredients all depend on the mood of the noodle seller. Spicy is fragrant but not spicy, especially in line with the taste of Wuhan people.
Digging deeper, probably Hubei is rich in crayfish, and the two are naturally perfectly matched, so that the cold noodles will be on fire in Wuhan.
Wuhan cold noodles, take more fine alkali noodles.
Unlike hot dry noodles, fine alkali noodles are more rooted and easy to taste. The noodles are boiled to seven or eight minutes, fished up with sesame oil, and then quickly mixed with the help of a fan to spread the cold, the "shan noodles" in the Wuhan population make the fine alkali noodles after cooling more delicate, and the noodles after stirring remove the stickiness and the taste is more refreshing.
Eating noodles in the heat of the summer, the light smells its name, as if it has the magic of cooling down. High temperature heat wave, a bowl of refreshing cold noodles without a trace of heat, noodles refreshing and neat, sneaking down the stomach, straight to the stomach to dissipate the heat.
On the streets of summer, Wuhan people's love for cold noodles is no less than a bowl of hot dry noodles when it is too early. In fact, in the summer, the people of Wuhan are too early to change into cold noodles.
As for what is the soul of the cold noodles, I grabbed a few friends casually, but I didn't expect a thousand people to have a thousand faces.
Some people grit their teeth at the tahini in the cold noodles, and some people support it with enthusiasm, throwing down a sentence: "Wuhan's cold noodles do not have the reason for the tahini?" ”。 Some people pointed out that the cold is the difference: "Is there a difference between cold noodles that are not cold and hot dry noodles?"
Many friends put the focus of their souls on small dishes, and some must add Shanghai ribbon to the cold noodles, "cold mixed kelp silk is crisp, but also give people a kind of seaside fantasy, more summer." "Unconvinced is the cucumber silk bean sprouts vegetable party," cucumber and bean sprouts are yyds, the thickness of these two makes the taste of a bowl of cold noodles more layered, missing can eat can be cool? ”
Ham sausage lovers are astonishing: "Cold noodles without ham sausages are like eating hot dried noodles without taking capers, and snail powder without sour shoots." The thick starch is inexplicably fragrant, and the color of the face can be better when the ham is put on. "Not to be underestimated is peanut rice, which determines how many bowls some people have to eat.
For the sauce, everyone also has their own love. Vinegar should be in place, otherwise there is no sour feeling of relief. The chili oil must be fragrant, and after stirring, each noodle should be stained red and fragrant. It is difficult for people who do not eat garlic to understand why cold noodles should be added to garlic water, and garlic eaters have to repeatedly instruct their bosses: "More garlic water." "The lingering aroma of garlic will make them taste the cold noodles at noon until the evening."
The discussion of the soul of the cold noodles is not fruitful, and it is not tight, and it will never delay the noodle eaters to come to a bowl of cold noodles. Carefully selected, eating noodles strategy sincerely offered.
