Macheng Fish Noodles Lailai
Macheng fish noodles, also known as vertical noodles, have a processing history of more than 1000 years, and are known as one of the four treasures of Macheng (fish noodles, pottery, chestnut, twist). There is also a short story about fish noodles: "It is said that a long time ago, there lived a Magu at the foot of Wunao Mountain in Macheng. One day, when Ma Gu was cooking noodles, she poured the freshly cooked fish soup in. When her family eats noodles, they all say it's delicious. Smart Magu thought, would it be better to make noodles with fish and flour? So I took the clean meat of fresh fish, made it into paste, put it into flour, and made the first bowl of Macheng fish noodles. Fish noodles soon spread all over the countryside, and people came to learn the craft. They also compiled a children's song: "The rolled noodles are like origami, the cut noodles are like flower lines, and they go around in the pot like peony in a bowl. "
Method for making Macheng fish noodles
There are many ways to eat fish noodles, such as simmering soup, stir-frying, stewing, frying, steaming, cold salad and so on. Here will mainly introduce several common ways to eat.
1, simmer/soup:
Fish noodles are suitable for all kinds of meat stews. First, when the meat is half cooked, take 200 grams of fish noodles and simmer for about 1 hour. You can eat the fish noodles when they are scattered. The simmering time can be flexibly controlled according to the maturity of fish noodles and fish meat. If you simmer for a long time, the soup taste of fish noodles will be fresher. Fish noodles will be crystal clear and elastic when picked up, and the soup will be milky and tasteless. This is the main way to eat fish noodles.
2. Stir fry:
Fish noodles can be used as ingredients for all kinds of cooking. Put 400 grams of fish noodles in a boiling water pot and cook for about 20 minutes. Use chopsticks to rotate and stir in the pot until the fish noodles are scattered, and pick them up for later use.
3, frying:
Fried fish noodles are a good appetizer on the table. Pour the cooking oil into the pot to boil, then fry the fish noodles in the pot for 3-5 minutes (the fish noodles are golden yellow), and take them out after the oil temperature drops.
4. Cold salad
Boil the fish noodles with clear water first, then wash them with clear water, filter them and put them into the tableware. Sprinkle ginger, garlic, chopped green onion and dried chili into it evenly, boil in an iron pan and pour in an appropriate amount of cooking oil evenly. Stir well and serve.
5. Hot pot:
Fish noodles are excellent ingredients for hot pot. Cook the cooked fish noodles directly in various hot pots. It is worth noting that the fish noodles must be boiled and scattered before entering the hot pot, and then put into the pot. It is difficult to directly cook and disperse pie-shaped fish noodles into hot pot.
