When Zhu, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, tasted "fried rice noodles" while giving lectures in Xinghua, he could not help clapping his hands and saying, "Delicious, delicious!"
Do you know the origin of this rice noodle? According to legend, during the Northern Song Dynasty (1064- 1068), Li Fan, commander-in-chief of Xinghua Army whose ancestral home was in Guangdong, worked day and night to help Qian Siniang build Mulan Bay. Because his mother was tired of eating rice noodles in his hometown, he invited a master to process rice noodles, and made this kind of work a household name in Xinghua and passed down from generation to generation, which was called "Xinghua rice noodles".
There are many ways to eat rice noodles, including scalded rice noodles with soybean milk, fried rice noodles with soybean milk, scalded rice noodles with porridge soup, scalded rice noodles with flat food, and even simple ways to eat boiled rice noodles. But it is generally divided into soup rice noodles and fried rice noodles. If rice noodles are cooked in local meat (vegetarian) seasoning, they will be fresh and moist. If the "three-in-one soup" of fried onion, ginger slices and lobster sauce is added to the rice noodles, it is called "onion rice noodles", which is a folk remedy for cold and cold. Soup rice noodles are easier to cook, which is characterized by more rice noodle soup. However, fried rice noodles are very particular about kung fu. Puxian people must eat fried rice noodles on festivals and various banquets, especially on Mid-Autumn Festival, winter solstice and New Year's Eve. There is a plate of fried rice noodles on the family dinner table. Especially in dim sum shops and pubs, the cooking skills of fried rice noodles are better.
It is said that the 18-year-old aunt fried rice noodles in Jiazhengmen, Cross Street, Putian City has a unique flavor. At that time, about five kilometers outside the east gate of the county seat, there was a natural village called Dongyang Village. Many families living here mostly live on the shadow (fruit) and rent of their ancestors, and none of them are farmers. Their descendants are called Dongyang Sunshe. Most of these grandchildren smoke opium. They can't sleep at night and can't get up during the day. I'm tired of eating a lot of delicious food. Suddenly, they thought of the fried rice noodles of the 18-year-old aunt, but going to the city about five kilometers to fry a plate of rice noodles will not only be cold, but also taste stale. What shall we do, Sun? She has an idea. Before dawn, he called the capable "General Tiger" to run into the city, knocked on the door and asked the eighteen aunts to fry a plate of rice noodles and put them in a rattan incubator, one by one. When the fried rice noodles were sent to Sunshe Opium Shop, they were still steaming and fragrant. This is the story of Sun She's "having dinner in the morning and evening" in Dongyang.
