Flour is a very common ingredient, can make a variety of food, we kneaded out of the noodle is generally divided into three kinds of noodles, hot noodles, hair noodles and dead noodles. There is a big difference between these three kinds of noodles and their uses are completely different.

One, hairy noodles

Hairy noodles are the most used in life, first the yeast with warm water, pour the right amount of flour in the pot, add warm water to the flour in small amounts, first stirred into flocculent, and then kneaded into a smooth dough. In a warm environment, the dough will ferment for about an hour until it doubles in size, at which time we can start to make a variety of pasta. The texture of fermented pasta is much sweeter and softer, and it can be used to make steamed buns, cakes, rolls, buns and so on. Hair pasta is easier to digest for people with a weak stomach and is more nutritious than the other two.

Two, dead noodles

Dead noodles are very simple to make, put the flour into the pot, directly add cool water, mix into flocculent after kneading into dough, do not need time to wake up, can be used to make dumplings, noodles, cakes, etc., eat more chewy. Dead noodles are relatively indigestible, so people with a weak stomach should try to eat less food made from dead noodles.

Three, hot noodles

Hot noodles also do not need to wake up, and the only difference between the dead noodles and hot noodles is that you need to use boiling water to mix the noodles. First, pour the flour into a bowl, add freshly boiled water to it, stirring as you add it, and then knead the dough after the flour has cooled. The characteristic of hot noodles is that the food is sticky, and it is also troublesome to handle, and it is easy to stick to your hands. The hot noodles are used to make the sugar cakes sold outside, which are soft and tasty, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior, while hot noodles are seldom used to make home-made pasta.

So the three kinds of flour are fundamentally different, the taste is completely different, we should choose the way to mix the noodle according to the cuisine we are making. In addition to these three kinds of noodles, we can also make semi-hot noodles, first with boiling water and noodles, followed by adding the right amount of cold water, eating soft and chewy.
