Noodle tea, is a snack spread in Tianjin Beijing, the use of millet noodles and corn flour, mixed in a certain proportion, and then add water and into batter, until there is no gnocchi, and then add water to boil, during the non-stop stirring, to prevent the paste bottom, good after turning off the fire, need to put a while, we call squat for a while, wait until slightly solidified, can start selling. Spread the sesame paste in sesame oil, sauté the sesame seeds over low heat until golden brown, then add salt and let cool. When it is in full bloom, take a wide-mouth bowl, first hold a spoonful of porridge, spread the bottom of the bowl, then sprinkle it with a layer of sesame salt evenly, then cover it with porridge, and then a layer of sesame salt, to completely cover the yellow porridge, and finally use chopsticks to drizzle the prepared sesame sauce, a bowl of double-ingredient noodle tea is ready. Tianjin people eat it with freshly steamed sesame sauce flower rolls, steamed cakes or hot fried cakes, and now many people also like to accompany sesame cakes, sticks and dumplings. When eating, holding the bowl with one hand, turning the side to drink, drinking to the end, the noodle tea is gone, the bottom of the bowl is clean, which is very similar to the fried liver in old Beijing.
With the passage of time, tianjin's early breakfast can choose more and more types, at least can eat for a month without heavy samples, many young people after 90 even noodle tea and tea soup are not clear. The shops that make noodle tea are basically family-run, because the people who like to eat are concentrated in middle-aged and elderly, there are not many market competitors, so the business is not bad, and the second and third generations of many stores have begun to take over, but there are still many inheritances that have disappeared unconsciously. Today we want to talk about Shanggangzi noodle tea, although it is a relatively good situation and is also very famous, but he has experience that other noodle tea operators do not have. We started from the beginning, in the early years of the "Shanggangzi noodle tea" in Shanggangzi Hutong, Hebei District, was particularly sought after by the people, often just after dawn noodle tea has been sold out, "Shanggangzi noodle tea" has also become a famous snack in Tianjin. When the public-private partnership was in place, there was a discontinuity in Shanggangzi noodle tea, but the "Shanggangzi Noodle Tea", which was famous in the streets and alleys decades ago, can still be found now, and it is Wang Zhongzhong, the descendant of Wang Changrong, the founder of "Shanggangzi Noodle Tea", who sells noodle tea. Wang Zhongzhong recalled: "Grandpa began to prepare noodle tea materials at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night every day, and used stone grinding to grind millet noodles by hand, which could grind 20 pounds in two or three hours, and probably sold more than 200 bowls. Noodle tea is made every day before dawn, and it is sold out at dawn. ”
Today's Shanggangzi noodle tea has long been moved to the building group behind the Post Office of Jiangdu Road in Hebei District, a simple door-facing room, and even the signboard is gone, but what remains unchanged is the taste of noodle tea. As well as customers who have eaten for many years.
Every morning at 6 o'clock, the noodle tea stall opens, a big iron pot that grunts and boils, on top of which is a wooden board, a pot of sesame sauce, a pot of sesame salt, and the delicious noodle tea comes out of here.
The environment is extremely simple, there are a few simple tables on the side of the road, but every old man who eats noodle tea has an unspeakable satisfaction on his face, which is a snack that does not like to eat at all, so after everyone gets up, what is left is a clean empty bowl.
Traditional Tianjin people eat noodle tea is generally double-layered, but with the change of young people's tastes, it is now possible to add several layers of ingredients to choose.
Can't wait to scoop up the sesame sauce sesame salt on the top, it will reveal the yellow chengcheng like millet porridge below the millet noodles, fragrant sesame salt, thick and slippery sesame paste, mixed with degreasy and fragrant millet batter, if you bite into the freshly baked sesame cake, that feeling, to taste the taste, the most important thing is that people with rich nutrition and bad teeth can also eat. Speaking of this, everyone may think that this issue is coming to an end, in fact, it is not, everyone has forgotten the different experience of the Shanggangzi noodle tea that the bun brother said before, why the store does not have a signboard, there may be foodies who have begun to doubt, There is also a Shanggang noodle tea on Zhongshan Road in Hebei District, what does that have to do with this one? Please keep reading, there will be an answer.
In recent years, a most famous representative of Tianjin's noodle tea industry has emerged, basically from 2006 to the present, basically all the food and snack recommendation posts will appear in the Zhongshan Food Street in Hebei District Zhongshan Road Shanggang Noodle Tea. Bun Zige is connected to a lot of information from the side, such as this Shanggang noodle tea in Zhongshan Food Street is opened by the employees of the previous Shanggang Noodle Tea; the sign is Shanggang Noodle Tea, and I dare not use the three words of Shanggangzi and so on. In the spirit of being responsible for the food, Brother Bun wants to determine the authenticity of the news through the comparison of taste, and Brother Bun believes that there is no wind or waves, so there is a shop in Zhongshan Food Street.
Shanggang noodle tea is located in the middle of Zhongshan Food Street, the door face is not large, but because there is only one around, it is still easier to find.
Two tables at the door, three tables in the house, plus the queue of people, it seems that there are many people, and the customers sitting there are mainly elderly, but it feels like half tourists and half are nearby residents.
When queuing, Brother Bun was not idle, collecting useful information around. Not to mention, it really let The Bun Brother find some "clues".
The introduction on the wall and the group photo of the star, careful friends will find that all the information is from 2007, the previous things are blank, and there is no mention of the inheritance of Gangzi noodle tea.
When the queue came to the front, the bun brother found that the pot containing the porridge was a plastic bucket, and there was no fire underneath, as if it was made from elsewhere, it was brought over, and the bottom was surrounded by cloth to keep warm. This bun brother's impression of him is not good, I have seen the noodle tea placed on the fire small fire insulation, and I have also seen a shop that does not do a lot, a small bucket of a small bucket, this is what, porridge is not hot, sesame sauce will be hated to eat. Looking at the so-called ice cream noodle tea on the wall, I think this is a waste of tradition.
With one last bit of anticipation, I stood at the door of the shop with a bowl of noodle tea and began to taste it. The results were really disappointing.
The color of the porridge at the bottom is white, I don't know what kind of noodles are used, and it is warm, during the period, the thin water-like sesame sauce is left along the edge, and the sesame salt is eaten into the mouth, and the strength is bitter. To tell the truth, Brother Bun zi didn't eat much noodle tea, but this time I really barely ate half a bowl, and the rest was directly placed on the table, and then I walked away without looking back. The results are obvious, and all kinds of signs make me believe that the previous rumors are correct, that Gangzi noodle tea on Jiangdu Road is the inheritance, and that Zhongshan Road is just grandstanding.
I hope you like the content of this issue, if there is a better suggestion, welcome to leave a message to the bun brother, everyone to study the food together. Thank you again for your interest and reading in this issue, thank you, we will see you in the next issue!
