The rain passed through the Golden City Pass, and the white horse slipped back. The Yellow River has been in the water for several times, and the road to the river is poor.
The noodles have a thousand threads of fragrance, but only Master Ma's. The flavor is hard to come by again. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was so happy to see you again.
Sunrise, read the scripture, twilight fall white tower empty. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it.
It's not about the five springs, it's about the clean air. The sound of the waves in the mountains is so loud that you will be able to enter the fairyland in meditation.
It can be seen that as early as the Qing Dynasty, "Lanzhou Beef Noodles in Clear Soup" was already a delicious snack in Lanzhou.
The Lanzhou beef ramen in clear soup is the flavorful snack of Lanzhou. Just like the ancient Silk Road that stretched for thousands of miles, Lanzhou Beef Ramen also has a long history, Lanzhou Beef Ramen is said to have originated in the Tang Dynasty, but it has been unable to be verified due to its long history. The real Lanzhou clear soup beef ramen is Henan Province, Huaiqingfu (now Henan Boai County) Qinghua cart beef old soup noodles evolved, cooking beef when cooled has become a jelly gelatinous substance, that is, the old soup, is the cart beef in the most flavorful, delicious, this soup is to do the top of the beef noodles. Lanzhou's beef noodles began in the Qing Dynasty during the Jiaqing period (1799), the Department of Dongxiang Ma Liuqi from Henan Province, Huaiqing Province, Qinghua Chen Weijin place to learn to bring to Lanzhou, and then by the descendants of Chen and the sound, Ma Baozai and others to "a clear (soup) two white (Bak Kutsu) three green (cilantro and garlic mustard) four red (chili) five yellow (noodles yellow bright)" unified the standard of Lanzhou! The standard of Lanzhou beef noodles was unified. In the following two hundred years of long years, a bowl of noodles and renowned in the world, with meat and soup fresh, fine noodles and famous at home and abroad, into all parts of the country, won the domestic and even the world within the scope of the praise and honor of the diners, in 1999 was identified as one of the three major Chinese fast-food pilot to promote varieties of the country, known as the "China's first noodle", become a bunch of food and beverage industry, an oddball. In the meantime, the wisdom and hard work of Chen Ma and countless other chefs specializing in beef noodles in clear soup have been condensed. Today, the clear soup beef noodles because of the delicious flavor, affordable, not only abound in Lanzhou, but also in the provinces of the country and even many countries and regions of the world have Lanzhou beef noodle hall, Lanzhou is worthy of the world's hometown of beef noodles.
Lanzhou beef noodle in clear soup is a fast food that also maintains the characteristics of Chinese food, which is part of Lanzhou culture. The basic style of this traditional beef noodle dish is still there, but the content has been constantly being added and subtracted. The red chili oil has already floated all over the bowl, and some people have to add more, looking for a strong feeling. Some people want to garlic and cilantro, as if it is intended to be close to the green, advocating the natural. Many noodle shop appeared "plus meat" with small vegetables supporting a series of new varieties. Lanzhou clear soup beef ramen not only inherited the essence of the traditional beef noodles, maintaining the original flavor of the Chinese national food culture, but also in accordance with the modern fast-food concept of development, so that the development of this national snacks.
The making of beef noodles requires flour, beef and dozens of spices. It is estimated that a small store of more than 40 square meters consumes about 50 kilograms of beef and 8 bags of flour every day; while those large stores tend to consume more than a dozen bags of flour daily. Plus radish, cilantro, garlic and a variety of seasonings, Lanzhou's beef noodle shop every year to drive the consumption of raw materials are more than 520 million yuan. It is with the consumption of beef noodles, to a large extent, driving the cattle industry in the Loess Plateau in the east of Lanzhou and the flour milling industry in the Hexi Corridor in the west. In addition, an army of traffickers has been formed around the transportation and marketing of beef noodle raw materials.
Lanzhou beef ramen is commonly known as "beef noodles" in Lanzhou, which is the most characteristic mass economic snack in Lanzhou. Lanzhou people make beef noodles made a name for themselves, so that people are addicted to eating. Later generations then generations of innovation, hard to play this noodle culture to the extreme, playing a famous world. Lanzhou Ramen is a soup noodle, and it is also a "clear soup noodle", and its splendor is the clear soup. Firstly, the noodles are boiled and then the muddy noodle water is separated, and secondly, the beef broth added is clear without adding soy sauce and other colored substances. Lanzhou clear soup beef ramen inherited the traditional beef ramen technology, choose the best flour, add no harmful substances and flour agent, in accordance with the traditional method and the noodles, kneading, beating, waking up, and pulling the noodle agent, and then by the ramen master with the hand-stretching, to watch the process of pulling the noodle as a general watch performance. A mass of noodles in the hands of the noodle master can be pulled out of the big wide, wide, leek leaves, two columns, two fine, fine, hairy fine, a nest of silk, buckwheat ribs and so on more than ten different shapes of noodles, so fresh noodles, naturally, than a variety of mechanisms, dry noodles more delicious, skilled noodle masters can pull out 6 to 7 bowls of noodles per minute. Chinese food pay attention to color, flavor and shape, fresh and bright rich colors to stimulate people's appetite, make people appetite. Generally speaking, Lanzhou clear soup beef ramen soup using beef, beef liver, beef bones, butter and more than ten kinds of natural spices boiled into a fragrant, natural spices in the digestive ingredients more make people's appetite, especially the "Ma Jia Da Shi beef noodles" its seasoning formula is unique, the soup is refreshing, all flavors are harmonious, the beef is soft in the tendon, the taste is long! The noodles are soft, smooth and flavorful with white radish, red chili oil, green cilantro, and are even more delicious. It is the best of Lanzhou beef noodles.
I often watch the horse family brothers beef noodle ramen master Ma Ga three pull noodles, noodles and not soft and not hard, pull up like a tendon, two arms if there is not a handful of strength how to do? Noodles can be pulled very fine, his noodle pulling is really a masterpiece. The more he was praised, the more he shook his head and danced like he was performing magic. The noodles are even thinner than hanging noodles, and they are so easy to eat. Various shapes of noodles satisfy the different preferences of different consumers. Boys eat "two fine" (a little thick), girls eat "fine", middle-aged and elderly people prefer "leek leaves" and "hairy fine" (finer). "(finer); cultured intellectuals love to eat "fine" and "leeks", under the drudgery of the workers and peasants, soldiers and fierce man but favors "wide" or even "wide". "and even" big wide "(two fingers wide, wide pants)...... and Lanzhou people eat beef noodle to which one has been printed into the subconscious, less change. Different personalities and different people have created various types of beef noodles, and the diverse types of noodles have shaped the culture and temperament of Lanzhou people. "Hairy thin" is gentle, "head thin" is easy-going, "two thin" is masculine, can be as thick as a child's little finger, chopsticks clip up the fluttering like a carp. Originally the beauty of ramen is in that bite, more or less toughness, unlike the machine noodles as bad, the reason is to pull a long time, the toughness of the noodles to pull out. "Leek leaves" to give you calm, "wide" to give you bold, "big wide" to make people mighty ...... as if the girl, The old man to eat "big wide", the boy, mangy man to eat "hairy fine", will be wrong. So Lanzhou beef noodle is sensual, humanized, very well integrated and easy-going. What a person wants, temperament, good and bad Bi see, this is the eyes of the Lanzhou people popularized beef noodles.
Don't look at the noodle master manipulating the noodles, a rubbing a pull, even stretching a few times, that is, like a magic trick to pull around a bowl of long thin noodles, it seems easy, in fact, do the noodle process is complex. The traditional practice of using "ash" and noodles, and noodles are "three times water, three times ash, nine hundred and eighty-one times kneading". One of the ash, in fact, is alkali, but not ordinary alkali, it is with the Gobi Beach produced Peng grass burned out of the alkaline material, commonly known as Peng ash, added to the noodles, not only makes the noodles have a special flavor, and pull out of the noodles smooth through the yellow, sinewy and strong. In recent years, it has been replaced by a special noodle-making agent. The technique of noodle making is still the most crucial. First of all, the choice of toughness of high-quality flour, half a day in advance, by the bladder round power of the young man will first be a large group of soft noodles repeatedly pounding, kneading, stretching, wrestling, rolled into long strips, pulled into a 30-mm thick, chopstick-length a strip of noodles section, and then along with the preferences of the diners, pulling out the size of the different thicknesses of the noodles, like to eat the round noodles, you can choose a thick, two thin, three thin, thin, fine, fine, hairy 5 kinds of styles; like to eat a flat noodle, you can choose to choose a large wide, Wide, leek leaf 3 styles; want to eat out of a sharp-edged, ramen master will pull a bowl of special "buckwheat flute" for you. Ramen is a masterpiece, a noodle section just to pull a large bowl of noodles, every pull, to be folded back once in the wrist, pull to the end, hands up and down a few times, the noodles are flexible and long, uniform thickness. Watching ramen is like enjoying an acrobatic show, pulling to the end of the "a pull and a flash" and as if the dancers are waving colorful ribbons. Lanzhou Ramen noodles are made by stretching the noodles themselves, but it is not its unique feature. Many places in China have stretched noodles, but the cooking methods are different. The finer the noodles, the better. In some technical competitions, the masters usually compete to see who can stretch more noodles from the same piece of dough. The thinness of the stretched noodles becomes a masterpiece. No matter how thin it is, Lanzhou ramen noodles are required to be tough, commonly known as "strong", and after being cooked, they should be able to "stand" in the bowl, that is to say, once they are fished out with chopsticks and put down again, the noodles can keep their upright shape for a moment in the bowl, or else they are "Otherwise, the noodles are not strong enough to be stretched. Stretched noodles are unfermented "dead noodles", the volume of small containing more noodles, a bowl of noodles usually use three or two flour. Some of the first time to eat the big-bellied amateur like eating ordinary noodles, a mouthful of two bowls, the results hold up to the night is not hungry. Formed in the northwest region of Lanzhou beef ramen essentially belongs to the halal food, China's halal food in the flavor, more than five spices. Lanzhou ramen soup also has a heavier spice, the recipe is very delicate, in Lanzhou some famous beef ramen store spice recipe absolutely confidential to outsiders. But **** the same characteristics are: beef ramen soup is fragrant, spicy, numb, and heavier flavor.
Beef ramen's strengths and weaknesses in addition to the noodles, the most important secret lies in the soup, Lanzhou people eat beef noodles, first drink a mouthful of soup, we will know whether it is authentic. Since the Qing Dynasty during the Jiaqing period, Qinghua Chen Wei Jing made the first bowl of beef noodles, the soup recipe is passed down from generation to generation, the so-called broth is not water with salt, but mainly more than ten kinds of spices and beef broth boiled. The soup is made of fat and tender yak or yellow beef from the Gannan grasslands, plus beef spinal cord and leg bone (commonly known as the stick bone), beef liver, some also added to the chicken broth, and then proportionally add peppercorns, grass jelly, cinnamon, ginger and other spices in the oversized can-shaped iron pot and then add the local specialty of the green radish slices can be simmered into the broth, the gas aroma and flavor, bright and clear. The broth is very flavorful and clear. Only the broth that has been prepared is used for serving. Cooked ramen noodles are topped with broth and served with diced beef, cilantro, garlic cloves, and red chili oil. The only thing missing from this is the daikon! Just like martial arts, the ultimate state is to go back to the basics, and this "Qing" is naturally fragrant. Perhaps soil and water are also a factor, Lanzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in a valley on the beach, is the capital of the province above the city of the best groundwater quality. In addition, Lanzhou's edible beef is mainly produced in Gannan and Qinghai yaks, yaks are short and healthy, high spine armor, small drooping skin, long hair, black or black and white spots, tail hair fluffy, adult weight of 200-300 kilograms, cold-resistant, growing in the altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level on the plateau, able to survive in the air between the high mountain peaks, long growing period, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong. It has a long growing period, strong strength and cold resistance, and is known as the "boat of the plateau". The natural free-range yaks in the unpolluted pasture environment of the plateau, in addition to their delicious taste, have been consuming a lot of wild grasses and medicines (e.g. Bei Mu, Cordyceps sinensis, Panax quinquefolium, safflower, etc.) for a long time, and so the local herdsmen say: "Our cattle and sheep are eating Chinese herbs, drinking mineral water, urinating and defecating on the Six-flavored Dihuang Pills! ". This sounds a bit exaggerated, but on the other hand, it reflects that yak meat is indeed natural and pollution-free. Its meat has the function of repelling wind and cold, but also can cure stomach cold, rheumatism, rheumatoid and other diseases, have nourishing Yin and kidney, strong body effect, its nutritional value is very high, no matter how, how the field can not make the real authentic Lanzhou beef noodles.
Northwest people like to eat spicy, eat Lanzhou beef ramen without chili is not the authentic way to eat. Lanzhou beef ramen chili is also very delicate. To keep the soup clear, you can not directly into the chili noodles, otherwise the chili noodles will stain the soup red, not clear soup. Chili must be accompanied by sesame seeds and several spices first warm oil fried to a certain fire, fried into red oil red chili mixed into something. The fire is not enough, the oil has no spicy flavor, the fire is too much, the chili paste, it becomes black. Red oil and red chili pepper into the bowl, chili and red oil floating in the soup, not mixed with the soup, soup is still clear, and use chopsticks to pick up the noodles, chili oil attached to the noodles, the red light shining, very greedy appetizing.
