Hainan flour is the originator of the Hainan rice noodle family. It is made by marinating rice noodles with more than a dozen unique seasonings. Hainan powder source began in Fujian Minnan. Legend has it that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a resident surnamed Chen moved to the old city of Chengmai to process rice noodles. Due to the good business and many learners, Hainan powder is all over the island. The "Zhengde Qiongtai Zhi" records that at that time, there were 121 larger markets on the island, all of which had Hainan powder plus workshops and small stalls. Over the years, the Hainan flour all over the place has also changed to the local name, but Haikou still retains the old name, so the commonly known Hainan powder is also called Haikou pickled powder.
In the past, Hainan noodles were a traditional snack in the Haifu area. Locals eat Hainan flour as breakfast and as a meal; eat it normally, eat it during festivals; eat it themselves and treat them to guests. Just like the people of Guangzhou who invite friends to their homes often say, "Come to my house and drink soup!" In the same way, what the Haifu people said was: "Go to my house and eat powder!" ”。
Generally speaking, Hainan powder also includes Lingshan coarse powder (that is, Baoluo powder), Lingshui acid powder, Chengmai powder, Jiaji beef brisket powder and so on. The ingredients of semolina are relatively simple, only add hot sauerkraut beef soup to the semolina, sprinkle a little shrimp paste, tender peppers, green onions, fried peanuts and rice, etc., called "semolina soup". The fine powder is more exquisite, and it is eaten with a variety of ingredients, flavors and sauces to be stirred and marinated, called "pickling powder". Hainan flour usually refers to this kind of "pickled powder".
Hainan flour tastes fragrant, soft and smooth, stimulating appetite, so eat more without being greasy. Spicy with a little chili sauce is more flavorful, and when a small amount of powder is left at the end, a small bowl of hot mussel soup is added and eaten, which is full of fragrance and endless aftertaste.
