Ga noodles are the most "everyday" food of Qinghai people, and there is no one.
"Ga" means small in the Qinghai dialect, which sounds a bit mean, but before "noodles", its meaning is really good, and it expresses people's love for it. Chinese is like this, the more you like a thing, the more you like to use the name "bad practice", such as "dog ignore", "dog leftovers", "two eggs", "fat Ni", etc., Qinghai's ga noodles are the same, "Ga" contains "big love", there is no high appearance, special grounding.
Because it is grounded enough, it is also very simple to make a piece of dough, knead the dough and cut it into short strips. After cooking the corresponding vegetables, meat, etc. in the pot, the short noodles are pressed open with both hands, elongated, and the noodles are taken in one hand, and the squares are pulled into the pot with the other hand, just like the autumn leaves, and in a few moments you can get the next big pot. Although it is fast to make, the final taste is very much test of the women's "tea and rice" craft.
How to say it, a good piece of dough as large as a fingernail, thin and symmetrical, called "nail dough piece", "bird tongue", the bad dough piece is large and thick, and the size is thin and thick, the shape is not formal, people ridicule it as "mouth noodle piece", which means that the face leaf is too large to put in the mouth. At the same time, the same noodles can make different flavors, which depends on what "material" you put in the noodles.
For example, it is now winter, there are fewer vegetables, if you put in the vegetable melon saved in the autumn, cut the same size as the noodles, this is called "vegetable melon noodles". After the dough is laid, the egg is beaten, which is also called "egg dough". Stop some fresh lamb, a pot of lamb flavor, this is also called "lamb noodles". If you beat the dough with a colander and add meat and fried sauce, this is also called "braised noodles". Beaten out and stir-fried with noodles and meat, it is called "fried noodles".
Qinghai people love to eat noodles, in the past almost everyone will make noodles, now will do less, everyone is directly on the restaurant to eat, restaurants generally do "fried noodles" and "braised noodles", but feel ... How to say it, A Qing feels like an assembly line product, the first time to eat a little amazing, the back seems to be no matter where to eat, it is a taste, less "home" feeling. Secondly, the most important thing about making noodles is "intentions", the conditions are more difficult, and the impact on them is not large.
Qinghai people used to say: "Three stones and one pot noodles", which means that in lang lang's vast grassland or long journey, three stones are put together, a pot is supported on it, and it is casually adjusted in the pot and pot, while pulling it down, it can be eaten when cooked. Legend has it that there was once a pair of lovers who were forced to leave their hometown, and in the uninhabited grassland, they only had a pot and a little noodles, and the capable girl actually kneaded the dough on her thigh, so she pulled out a pot of delicious noodles for her husband.
Because the noodles are a favorite dish of everyone, so on this basis, there are also many "little known" customs, in the past, if the man went to the woman's home to propose, the woman's family such as the top of the film, the man's family does not need to say it again, indicating that it was rejected, because the noodles are broken. If you put on a long ramen noodle, it means that marriage can be completed. If there are distant or honored guests coming home, you must not take the film, otherwise you will lose respect and hurt the guest. Family members want to go far away, and some places specially pull noodles to send them off, it is said that the noodles are expected to be done neatly and successfully by the people who go out.
However, these customs are no longer applicable, and the noodles are only "ga noodles", it is just a delicacy, which will be liked by more and more people, and will be remembered by more and more people. To tell the truth, Ah Qing thinks that he will favor Ga noodles in his life, because since he was a child, potatoes have been busy eating and tired, but Ga noodles have never been ~
How long have you not eaten ga noodles?
