When it comes to Wuhan food, there is always a bowl of Wuhan hot dry noodles. In the hearts of Wuhan people, it is the bite that they miss the most when they return to their hometown.
Today, Wuhan hot dry noodles have gone all over the country, and the streets everywhere are wafting with the smell of hot sesame seeds. In the impression of foreign friends, it is a familiar and unfamiliar existence.
More and more friends from all over the world are full of awe for this bowl of noodles, but they don't know how to start:
"There are hot dry noodles all over the street, which one to eat?"
"Black tahini? Yellow tahini? Is there a difference? ”
"Hot dry noodles are still divided into factions? How to count authentic? ”
Now, officially introduce you to Wuhan hot dry noodles. When you stir up this bowl of noodles all over the country, here are ten things you should know:
Playing in Wuhan, punching hot dry noodles is a must in the strategy, which is the most worth trying?
Although Wuhan holds a hot dry noodle contest every year to compete for the first and second place, there is no such thing as "the best hot dry noodles" in Wuhan.
Wuhan people often feel that the hot dry noodles downstairs are authentic and honest, and the flavor is the best.
Probably because there is always a "secret recipe" in the shop downstairs. And the most difficult condiment in the secret recipe, I guess is the daily accumulation of human feelings.
It is said that tahini is the soul of Wuhan hot dry noodles, do you know that tahini is actually divided into black tahini and yellow tahini? Black sauce and yellow sauce, who is better?
Most of the yellow tahini on the market today is made by stir-frying white sesame seeds and grinding them at low speed. The sesame seeds have been roasted beforehand, so the color is slightly yellowish.
Yellow tahini has a smooth texture and a nutty aroma.
Black sesame paste is ground with black sesame seeds, the sesame flavor is thicker, there is a loss of imperceptible bitterness, mixed on the noodles slightly thicker.
Wuhan people love tahini deeply, whether it is white sesame or black sesame, mixed in hot dry noodles, it is good sesame!
In addition to the black and yellow distinction of tahini, Wuhan hot dry noodles are also divided into dry and wet.
The dried pie is lubricated by tahini, and the noodles are eaten with the strength and sesame flavor, and the noodles are slightly dry, and the slight alkali taste of the hot dry noodles can be tasted by chewing carefully.
Wet shops are more focused on brine and red oil.
The taste of brine and red oil is different from one house to another, so the "personality" of wet hot dry noodles is more prominent. After adding brine red oil, the hot dry noodles have a richer flavor, are more oily to mix, and are smooth to eat.
Have you tried hot dry noodles with coffee?
At noon, Wuhan Daddy sat in a café sipping coffee with a bowl of hot dry noodles and enjoying a Chinese-style brunch. Such a wonderful-sounding scene happens every day in Wuhan's "improper coffee".
On the "Li Huangpi Road" crowded with more than a dozen cafes, you can often see Wuhan people holding a cup of ice American style in their hands and eating noodles seriously.
Hot dry noodles that keep pace with the times, both ground gas and foreign gas. Not just too early, hot dry noodles are already a popular brunch package option.
The legend of the invention of hot dry noodles in Wuhan stems from a coincidence: a shopkeeper who sells flour noodles for a living mistakenly spilled oil on the half-cooked alkali noodles, and when he cooked the noodles the next day, he found that the noodles soaked in oil were tough and smooth.
After the noodles are cooked, mixed with tahini, sesame oil, salt and other spices, the aroma is overflowing, and the hot dry noodles are born.
Today, before dawn, the streets and alleys of Wuhan will float with the sesame aroma of hot dried noodles. Such a delicious coincidence, ironed every Wuhan morning.
Shan noodles are the secret of hot dry noodles.
The cooked noodles are spread out on a huge board, and two huge fans open their bows left and right. Drizzle with sesame oil and use two long chopsticks to stir the noodles up and down.
Many long-established stores in Wuhan insist on dusting their own noodles, and some start work at two or three o'clock in the morning. Even in the cold winter and heat, it still insists.
Hot dry noodles to hand first thing, mix! The Wuhan dialect is pronounced "bèn".
Mixing hot dry noodles is exquisite, the action should be sharp and skillful, so that the noodles are evenly wrapped in sauce in a short period of time.
The noodles will become lumpy (sticky) for too long, and it is often difficult for novices to control. Teach you two tricks:
(1) Quickly pick up the bottom of the bowl noodles with chopsticks and put them down, repeating several times, the sauce will be basically even.
(2) Eat more and practice more, and be diligent to make up for it
The high bench is the table, the low bench is the seat, and the Wuhan people who are too early in the store door have achieved a unique scenery that is too early on the street.
Whether riding an electric donkey or driving a luxury car, premature Wuhan people will honestly get out of the car, buy hot dry noodles and bring them to the bench to sit and eat.
Influenced by the culture of the dock, Wuhan people are too early and fast, a bowl of hot dry noodles, ten minutes to suck out, so they are very tolerant of the premature environment.
The immersive experience of Wuhan is premature, starting with the use of the pinch bench. Sitting on a small bench, with noodles in your mouth, and in front of you is a hot morning, it is a kind of life interest.
Eating noodles in a bowl is a skill of Wuhan people. From subway stations to office buildings, Wuhan white-collar workers call it "the distance of a bowl of hot dry noodles."
There are rumors that Wuhan people can eat noodles with their left umbrellas in their left hand and their right hands on rainy days, and their little thumbs still hook a cup of mung bean soup, walking like a fly.
However, this is the result of wuhan people's training since childhood, do not easily imitate.
It is too early to say, in fact, many breakfast restaurants in Wuhan are open 24 hours a day, does it sound a bit magical?
At 4 or 5 a.m., when the whole world is closed, only hot dry noodles will soothe your stomach and soul.
Taxi drivers stop at the side of the road between night shifts, a bowl of warm hot dry noodles is served, and fullness and happiness come easily.
