Nanning is the capital of Guangxi, is a city with a long history, known as the "Green City of China". The unique geographical location and climatic conditions have formed a unique eating style of Nanning people. Nanning has many delicacies, and Old Friend Powder should be one of the most representative delicacies!
Speaking of old friend powder, you can't help but mention this old friend powder shop on Qixing Road, this store is located opposite the First People's Hospital of Qixing Road, is one of the most popular restaurants in Nanning, a 24-hour shop, basically every day is overcrowded, a day casually sell 1,000 bowls of rice noodles are not a problem.
Opened for many years of time-old brand, a row over two shops, not far apart, the big storefront inside like a big canteen, very spacious, but the environment is very simple, the tables and chairs are the style of the school canteen, the floor is also very greasy. Many powder shops in Nanning are like this, but it does not prevent them from flowing like clouds of customers every day.
The legend of Laoyou powder was created by a tea house owner for his old friend to cure the cold, and unlike other powders, its practice is very technically demanding on the chef, so it limits its development in other places, and only in Nanning can these old shops really taste its deliciousness.
Stir-fry ingredients such as sour shoots, tempeh, chili peppers, garlic rice and various meat ingredients in oil, then add the broth to a boil, and then add the rice noodles out of the pot. Although it seems like a very simple process, it is not the same thing to operate, basically every chef cooks a different taste, all have their own advantages.
The characteristics of old friend powder are sour, spicy, fresh, the most traditional old friend powder actually began to use beef minced and noodles, with old friends after the material is fried, add broth to cook, but after development, now the most common is pork and beef slices, noodles have also been changed to rice noodles instead.
In fact, the taste is similar, but the ingredients inside are not the same, and the old friend flavor of the bottom soup is still the same. The soup base of the shop's old friend is very thick, and each powder is full of soup, which is fresh and fragrant. The texture of rice noodles is slippery and delicate, and it is very smooth and enjoyable to eat in a big mouthful.
Old friend fried powder is also very delicious, the heat control is very good, the wok is full of gas, the powder is very Q bomb, the meat is also very tender, and there are sour shoots, tempeh and other condiments, very fragrant!
