The locals kneaded the dough into pieces as thick as copper coins, and then cut them into small squares with a knife, which looked like rice grains.
Then put these cubes in boiling water, and then remove the cold water after floating, so that the cooked rice noodles are not only smooth but also chewy.
Beef rice has paste soup and clear soup. Generally, Han people mainly make clear soup rice, while Hui people make paste soup rice.
The soup base of beef rice is boiled with beef bones, and then the secret spice powder of each family, as well as small ingredients such as tofu, vermicelli and beef, are added to make a pot. Starch is needed to thicken soup and rice, but not clear soup.
Steaming with steam and rich ingredients, rice soup is poured on the "small grains of rice" with distinct grains. A spoonful is full of fragrance, and the tip of the nose is sweaty, which is delicious.
In Qilian Road, Zhangye City, there is a kind of small rice, grandma beef rice. Because they are unknown, they are all old customers, for the taste of these 30 years.
This small shop was opened by Ma Shu (boss Ma Yun)' s grandparents in 1980, and in 17, Ma Shu (boss) and Li Yi (proprietress) came back to take over the shop. Their family cooked a little rice, traditional batter soup. In addition to tofu, vermicelli and beef that every household will put in the small rice, there are also red beans. It is said that grandma added it herself before.
The reason why their millet soup is rich and layered is because the fried rice base made by themselves will be put in the soup. This small rice base is fried with 30 kilograms of fresh beef and more than 30 kinds of spices mixed with butter and rapeseed oil, with a fragrant smell.

Now that I'm old, I just want to be steady.
