Vermicelli is a common dry goods, easy to preserve, a variety of ways to eat, loved by people.
In the summer, my family often eats noodles, such as cabbage fried noodles, cold mix noodles, shabu-shabu, etc., smooth and flavorful, making people appetite. Whenever I don't know what to eat, I will make a bowl of chutney powder, eat "sour, spicy, fragrant", always not annoying. When eating hot pot, vermicelli is also what I must order, the taste Q is smooth and smooth, the disadvantage is that it is easy to cook.
Have you found that the noodles in the hot pot restaurant are very "resistant to cooking", even if they are cooked for 10 minutes, they will not break, why? Resistant to cooking or not, which is a good vermicelli? Today I will talk to you about the skills of picking vermicelli.
The most common vermicelli is sweet potato flour, as well as potato flour, pea flour, etc., and the best quality is sweet potato flour.
Every winter, is the peak season of noodle sales, often see the big car selling vermicelli, there are many kinds of vermicelli on the car, the price gap is very large, 3 ~ 15 yuan 1 catty, what is the difference? Before I thought it was all vermicelli, Try to save money to buy a few pounds of 5 yuan, the result is not resistant to cooking, boiled for 2 minutes on the break.
I asked the chef to learn that the cheaper the price, the worse the quality of the noodles. The 5 yuan 1 kg of vermicelli I bought is not real sweet potato flour, but adds tapioca flour, potato flour and other starch, so it is not resistant to cooking.
15 yuan 1 kg of vermicelli is a pure sweet potato flour without any additives, this kind of vermicelli is resistant to cooking and is not easy to break.
In order to reduce the cost, 80% of the "boilable" noodles in the hot pot restaurant will not use sweet potato flour, but add edible glue noodles, so they are both resistant to cooking and tendons. When buying vermicelli, if the price is less than 10 yuan per catty, it is definitely not a real sweet potato vermicelli. Those more than ten yuan a pound of vermicelli may also be adulterated, which requires us to distinguish carefully.
What is the difference between real sweet potato noodles and noodles with edible glue? The aunt of the vermicelli workshop said that as long as you remember 4 points, you can see "glued vermicelli" at a glance, not deceived.
A trick to identify vermicelli
(1) Look at the color
The color of sweet potato vermicelli varies greatly, and it is true that it is black, yellow, blue, and transparent, but the whitened vermicelli is generally filled with other starches.
(2) Look at toughness
Vermicelli is dry goods, no moisture, although there is a certain toughness can be bent, but the texture is brittle and can be easily broken by hand. If it is still continuous after folding in half, it must be added with edible glue.
(3) Look at the burning state
When I was a child, I often stuffed the vermicelli into the hearth, the vermicelli would expand and bubble, and after burning, it was white, and it became a powder when pinched by hand, which is the real sweet potato vermicelli. If it does not bubble after burning, and the color is black and hard, it is a fake sweet potato noodle.
(4) Smell the smell
High-quality vermicelli soaked in hot water for 5 minutes, you can smell a faint sweet potato flavor, no other odor. If the vermicelli has a musty, odorous, irritating odor, etc., the quality is very poor and it is not recommended to eat.
The above 4 points are all skills for buying bulk vermicelli, after all, you can see, touch, and smell, but how to choose bagged vermicelli? Just remember 2 points, guaranteed to be real sweet potato flour.
1, ingredient list - the raw materials of real sweet potato powder are only sweet potatoes (or sweet potato starch), water, if there are other ingredients, it is fake.
