China is divided into the south and north, resulting in different dietary differences, part of the people eat rice, part of the people eat noodles. Of course, in addition to local differences, the different tastes of individuals also affect the choice of staple food. And is located in the Qinling Huaihe River on the line of Henan region, a small part of the region to eat rice, most of them are eating noodles, today we understand, in Henan more fire noodles - braised noodles.
First, the unique practice of braised noodles.
Braised noodles are made from selected flour, which is kneaded by adding salt and alkali and warm water, and kneaded repeatedly to make it stronger. It is then left for some time, rolled out to a width of four fingers and a length of about 20 centimeters, the surface of the noodles is smeared with vegetable oil, and then wrapped up piece by piece. It's easy to say, but it's still hard to make a better tasting, more robust braised noodle.
Second, it is difficult to make authentic chow mein.
The most critical part of chow mein is the soup base, and it is very important to make a pot of fragrant soup base. Henan chow mein is mainly based on mutton soup, made of mutton, mutton bones and a variety of Chinese herbs simmered together for five hours, so the soup base is very fragrant and thick. Add the ingredients, such as seaweed, thousand sheets and fungus, and finally add the braised noodles, sprinkle a handful of parsley, a bowl of fragrant mutton braised noodles is made. So it's hard for outsiders to learn how to make the soup base, and even though it doesn't look difficult, it's the Henan people who are best at making an authentic braised noodle dish.
Third, the flavor is difficult for outsiders to accept.
Henan braised noodles with mutton braised noodles is the most famous, in Henan Province, basically everywhere you can see the mutton braised noodles hall, but some foreigners do not like the stink of mutton. Plus there is a Chinese medicine flavor in the soup base, so the general people in the field don't like the flavor. Another reason is that the portion of braised noodles is basically large, like some people who do not often eat pasta, order a portion can not finish, feel very wasteful, basically seldom go to eat, which is also difficult to open the market for braised noodles.
Currently, there are more ways to eat chow mein. Like when we eat hot pot will also choose the next chow mein, under the sea of the pulling master, pulling chow mein's technique is particularly unique, skillful, and pulling the chow mein is also more delicious, is very strong.
So the chowder can come out of Henan, the key lies in the choice of the way to eat chowder. Hot pot with braised noodles is also a better means of promotion, the key is that people have to master the unique production methods of braised noodles, to create more ways to eat braised noodles, not just raise meat braised noodles, in order to make braised noodles with a variety of edible methods to go farther and spread more widely.
To cherish and promote the cuisine of chow mein, do you know how to make chow mein more delicious? Do you know how to make chowder more delicious?
In Beijing Jianguomen outside an authentic soup chowder, authentic hair white lamb soup is not nasty, chowder wheat tough, three or two slices of mellow lamb, one or two red goji berries embellishment, shredded seaweed, quail eggs, a little, two plates divided into sheng cilantro, sugar and garlic guests to choose their own. Three or four configurations, each bowl of 32-36 yuan, and other cooked dishes five or six kinds of small dishes can be another point. Spacious and clean business fast food layout, every day at noon, evening guests. Guests are not only Henan hometowns, guests living in the capital for three or two years, Northwest, Northeast, Yunnan and Guizhou, Beijing and Shanghai colleagues often eat there overtime snacks.
The key to food is authentic, clean and tidy environment, fast food, repeat customers will be more and more.
In Beijing also encountered other hometown chow mein hall, most of the taste is more authentic, but the restaurant environment is poor in Henan restaurant is a common phenomenon, not as big or small restaurants in the South or other will be clean and tidy, the price of 9-12 yuan consumption is not expensive, but also more than Henan hometown or nearby construction workers are the main guests.
In Shanghai on business, ate two Henan chow mein, clear soup, the toughness of the surface is still there, but there is no strong white soup, chow mein is less soul. Cilantro, shredded seaweed as if no money, or hometown is too honest, add too much, clamor. Many people in the south do not eat cilantro, can be a slight variation, let the guests add their own. Store meal guests are not many, business is estimated to be difficult to long.
Every year, also back to his hometown in Henan a few times, Zhengzhou, Luoyang chow mein hall environment and hardware, these five or six years to change a lot, the taste of the overall people satisfied. The only thing is that it is salty, not in line with the health requirements of less salt now.
Feeling Henan catering lack of industry associations of integrated management, no basic standard requirements. Chowder should be in the material, fire, appearance, etc. to make basic requirements, allowing regional characteristics of differences and types of combinations, but the basic things can not be abolished.
Seeing your question, I suddenly recalled the two years I stayed in Henan. Indeed, chow mein is really everywhere in Henan.
But when I think about it, I don't think I've seen braised noodles anywhere else in the years since I came out of Henan.
Friends who have eaten chow mein know that chow mein is made from wide noodles and some vegetables and meat mixed with a "special soup" that is boiled early and flavored in several ways.
In fact, look at the northern people are also to the noodle-based, such as in Qinghai side, the noodles, noodles, noodles, sheep intestines noodles, gunpowder, the same are made of flour. Let's not talk about other noodle dishes here, let's talk about Qinghai's noodle sheet! It is also divided into soup noodle sheet and fried noodle sheet.
And the width of this soup noodle sheet is actually similar to the width and thickness of Henan's chow mein, except that chow mein is in the shape of a long strip, while the noodle sheet is almost in the shape of a square. The "appearance" of Qinghai soup noodles and Henan braised noodles aside, the ingredients, the strength of the noodles, the combination of meat and vegetables, and the production process are virtually the same.
The same is true of Shaanxi's pants noodles (which are much simpler to prepare).
So, if you say that Henan chow mein can't go out of Henan, it's better to say that Henan chow mein just changed its "name" and "form" to go into the north and south of the Yangtze River.
The above is just a personal opinion, just for reference, thank you!
