Chen Chunlin
In Chen Chunlin's heart, making rice noodles soup base is the most important, and the soup has a strong umami flavor, and the rice noodles will be delicious. Therefore, every morning, Chen Chunlin's shop will stew freshly bought chicken and simmer it over low heat. Chen Chunlin recognized a reason, the family thinks the soup is delicious, the guests will naturally like it, boil it over high heat to remove impurities, and then simmer it slowly to enhance the flavor, and boil it at night, so that the soup stewed out tastes mellow enough.
Although she is the most familiar hometown flavor, Chen Chunlin does not have much experience in making it, and at first, she washed the rice noodles in cold water, which turned out to be time-consuming and hard. Although the warm water is better, the inner core of the rice noodles is still hard after cooking. In the end, she decided to use hot water soaking instead, and the effect was the best, but to endure the pain of hot hands, Chen Chunlin chose to persevere. After cooking the rice noodles, Chen Chunlin will first take them out for later use. Then, she adds a generous amount of stock to a small pot and heats it until it boils. In order to make the soup taste more delicious, she specially added a lot of ingredients to enhance the freshness.
In ham rice noodles, there is a protagonist who is ham. Chen Chunlin said that the hind legs of the pig are called ham, and the front legs or other parts can only be called bacon. Chen Chunlin's hometown Xuanwei has a large temperature difference, moderate humidity and cool climate, which is very suitable for the drying and aging of ham. She also has a way of selecting hams, every time she buys ham, she will bring a tube that can be pierced into the ham, pierce it to the deepest part of the ham, and then pull it out and smell the smell, the good ham and the bad ham can be smelled at once.
In addition to ham, Chen Chunlin also has to prepare rich side dishes. Stir-fried chicken nuggets, quail eggs, mushrooms, baby cabbage, leeks, tomatoes, these fresh ingredients are added to the stock and boiled for a few minutes to allow the flavors of all the ingredients to fully blend.
To make rice noodles, Chen Chunlin uses the original soy sauce produced by the time-honored brand, Liubiju, which is refined from selected high-quality non-GMO soybeans and through multiple processes. No preservatives, sweeteners or freshness enhancers are used to maintain the inherent flavor characteristics of high-salt dilute fermented soy sauce, and the sauce is rich in aroma, delicious and mellow in taste.
The head of this issue
—— Chen Chunlin ——
The power is to the extreme
Chen Chunlin is a native of Qujing, Yunnan Province, 47 years old this year, and she has been a full-time mother for more than ten years before becoming the head of taste. After living in Beijing for many years, Chen Chunlin has never eaten rice noodles from his hometown, and he always feels that something is missing in his heart. Later, in order to alleviate the pressure of life, she felt that she should do something for her family, and maybe the taste of her hometown was an opportunity. With the pressure of real life and the confidence in the food of his hometown, Chen Chunlin saved up his strength and rented a small stall with his cousin of Xuanwei, Yunnan, his hometown, to open a Yunnan snack stall and sell rice noodles.
Just like soup has to be boiled little by little, Chen Chunlin's business is also working hard day by day, although the location is not obvious, and she has no experience in running a restaurant, but with love and diligence, she has created her own new life.
After opening the store, Chen Chunlin got to know a lot of fellow villagers, and he was able to eat traditional Yunnan snacks that were difficult to find in Beijing, which made the fellows very surprised and very happy. By running snacks in his hometown, Chen Chunlin not only achieved financial independence, but also found a way to express himself and gain a sense of belonging in a foreign land. She hopes that her children can also grow up to be hard-working and responsible people by seeing themselves start their own businesses, and she will be a role model for them.
