Crossing the bridge rice noodles has a history of 100 years, and its origin has a beautiful and touching story.
Crossing the bridge rice noodles originally originated from Mengzi county in southern Yunnan. According to legend, there is a South Lake (which still exists) outside the city. The lake is as clear as blue, and weeping willows line the lake. There is an island in the middle of the lake. There are pavilions and pavilions on the island. Moreover, there are forests of green bamboos and towering ancient trees. The scenery is beautiful and quiet, and the air is fresh and pleasant. It is a good place for students nearby to study poetry. A scholar went to the island in the middle of the lake to study for the exam, but because he was so immersed in his work, he often forgot to eat the food sent by his wife, and it was often cold when he ate it. Because of the abnormal diet, my body is getting thinner day by day, and my wife is very distressed. Once, my wife killed a fat hen, cooked it in a casserole and sent it away. After a long time, it was still warm, so she put it in with rice noodles and other condiments that the locals liked. It was delicious, and she liked to eat it when she was born. The virtuous wife often copied it and sent it away. Later, to be no.1, a scholar, was obsessed with his wife's kindness and joked that he had eaten chicken soup and rice noodles sent by his wife before he got into the exam. Because his wife had to go through a winding bridge to send rice noodles to the island, the scholar called this kind of rice noodles crossing the bridge, which was a beautiful talk for a while. People have imitated the practice of scholar's wife to eat rice noodles, and the rice noodles crossing the bridge have spread since then. After the processing and improvement of later generations, the rice noodle crossing the bridge is getting better and better, and it spreads farther and farther.
Crossing the bridge rice noodles is a famous flavor snack in Yunnan. Cross-bridge rice noodles are mainly made of soup, sliced meat and rice noodles with seasoning. The soup is boiled with fat chicken and pig's tube bones, and it is better to be clear and transparent. Cut chicken breast, pork tenderloin, liver, kidney flower and fresh fish into thin slices and put them in a small dish. The rice noodles are white and tough. At the same time, there are pea tips, yellow-bud leeks and tender spinach. When eating, fill the soup with a big sea cucumber bowl, and add monosodium glutamate, Hu Fu and cooked chicken oil. The soup is thick and does not emit a trace of heat. After the soup is served, knock the pigeon eggs into the bowl, then dip the meat slices into the soup, stir it gently, and instantly become white and tender. Then add fresh vegetables and rice noodles, and serve with Chili oil and sesame oil.
Yunnan rice noodles can be divided into two categories, one is made of fermented rice and ground into powder, commonly known as sour rice noodles, with complex technology and long production cycle. Features: Rice noodles are good in bones and muscles, smooth and sweet, and have a clear fragrance of rice, which is a traditional production method. The other kind is that the rice is directly put into the machine for extrusion molding after grinding, and the rice is gelatinized and molded by the heat of friction, which is called dry rice noodles. Dry rice noodles are dry rice noodles after drying, which is convenient to carry and store. When it is eaten, it is cooked and swollen. Dry rice noodles are hard, chewy and long, but lack the fragrance of rice.
Not only that, but also this way of eating is very particular. You must learn some common sense before eating rice noodles across the bridge for the first time. The correct eating method is not only related to tasting delicious food, but also to the personal safety of diners. At the same time, cross-bridge rice noodles will serve soup, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and flavored pickles dishes. Never try the soup first, because it seems that the temperature of a bowl of boiled soup without steaming reaches 170 degrees, and there have been incidents in Yunnan where boiled soup burns foreign tourists. Yunnan people who are used to crossing the bridge rice noodles will unhurriedly pick up the meat dish first, put all kinds of meat slices into the soup one by one in the order of Mr. Hou's cooking, and gently rinse the meat slices in the soup with chopsticks a few times, and suddenly the fresh meat slices turn white; Then put quail eggs, then put all kinds of ingredients in the vegetarian dish, chrysanthemum first, then others, you can choose or give up some varieties according to your own taste. At this time, the sea bowl has shown a moving scene of five colors, which is appetizing and mouth watering.
Next, it's time to cross the bridge-put the rice noodle bowl close to the soup bowl, pick it up with chopsticks, lift it up and put it into the soup, and build a continuous bridge between the two bowls. If you pour a bowl of rice noodles into it at once, it's not impossible, but it's just disappointing the artistic conception of crossing the bridge. Finally, choose several kinds of pickles dishes (mostly hot and sour) that you like. In the casual farmers in Yunnan, all these small ingredients are put aside, and guests can choose a few at will, while restaurants in cities generally only provide about two kinds. As the saying goes, there are not many small materials, which are intended to enhance the taste.
It is not easy to eat authentic rice noodles crossing the bridge, not only in Beijing, but also in Yunnan. Although it is a local snacks, a good rice noodle crossing the bridge requires very high raw materials and production process. Without the ability of transportation and procurement, or the management ability of scale and grade, it is impossible for a merchant operating outside Beijing or Yunnan to make it. Even for local chefs in Yunnan, it takes many years of experience to cook the cross-bridge rice noodles.
Most of the raw materials in the meat and vegetarian dishes are very particular. For example, fresh raw black fish fillets must be used for fish fillets, ham must have cloud legs, and bean sprouts should be pointed. In particular, the crispy meat in the meat dish is made of pigs that are raised by farmers and eat grain and vegetable leaves. After the pork belly is carefully cut and pickled, it is wrapped in pea powder and slowly fried. Many people can't think that such a simple small ingredient is actually quite a big question. Even the crispy taste made from different parts of pork will be different, so there is a saying in the industry that there is a dish of crispy, three-year apprentice.
