Noodles, a handmade pasta as thin as hair, white and smooth, resistant to storage and cooking, is mainly round and thin in shape. Traditional noodles are made from wheat flour, salt and water, then hung and dried in cut strips and bundled, and finally stored and sold.
Most of the northern region is dominated by pasta, so noodles can be seen everywhere. It is said that as early as the Tang Dynasty, there was already noodles, but at that time it was not called this name, but called "noodles", so noodles were also called "dragon noodles".
In Shaanxi, many places have the habit of eating noodles, every New Year's Festival, marriage and funeral, the host's family set up a banquet, in the morning are mainly noodles, such as oil soup noodles, sour soup noodles, noodles, etc., because the place is different, so the name and practice are also different. Because there are so many diners, the noodles are too busy to make them, so they use the noodles that have been prepared in advance.
Take my family's side (Xianyang, Shaanxi), from the beginning of the New Year to the seventh day of the first year, every household's breakfast is indispensable to pour soup noodles, some children do not want to eat, adults will tell children, the New Year to eat poured soup noodles can grow a child. Therefore, near the Spring Festival, the sales of noodles will increase greatly, walking on the street everywhere to sell noodles, most of which are handmade by themselves, but there are also many shoddy.
The traditional noodle production does not contain any preservatives and additives, and the reason why it can be stored for a long time is because it is hung and dried, so that the noodles have no moisture and can naturally be stored for a long time. The color of a good noodle is a little yellow, and if you find that there is an abnormal whiteness of the noodle, then the noodle is likely to have a whitening agent.
Pour soup noodles, pour soup noodles, so soup is the soul. When I was a child, I was always very confused, why the soup noodles that the family usually made were never as delicious as those made in the New Year, obviously made by the same mother, how can there be such a big difference?
Later, I learned that the soup noodles eaten in the New Year, the soup base is made of broth (soup for boiling meat), which has the aroma of various large ingredients, plus the fresh aroma of the broth, do you say that this noodle can not be fragrant?
In addition to the soul pouring soup, the side dishes in the soup are also very exquisite, my family is mainly based onions (green onions), egg skins, pay attention to a little people will put yellow cauliflower and fried dried beans, some places will also put fungus and fried meat in advance.
Such a bowl of noodles with soup and ingredients, a mouthful of noodles, the whole mouth is filled with the oil aroma of soup, that feeling is really a kind of enjoyment! Every time I eat it, the last bowl is served with noodles with soup.
There is also a essence of eating soup noodles, that is, "a chopstick head", which means that the noodles can be clamped with chopsticks, and only in this way can we eat the aroma of soup and noodles, so pouring soup noodles is also called "a mouthful of incense". Pouring soup noodles are mainly divided into two kinds, one is oil soup, one is spicy soup, I personally prefer to eat oil soup, but most of the time I eat spicy soup, because the family likes, the so-called I can only obey the majority!
In my memory, pouring noodle soup is a delicacy that can only be found during the New Year's Festival and a happy occasion at home, which is also my first and deepest impression of it. Although it has long been one of the main noodle dishes on the table in some places in Xianyang, if someone asks me what I want to eat in the New Year, the first thing that comes to my mind is definitely pouring noodle soup!
