Macheng fish noodles lailailai
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, chestnuts and 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, while Ma Gu was cooking noodles, she poured in fresh fish soup that had just been cooked. When her family eats noodles, they all say it's delicious. Smart Magu wants to know if it is better to make noodles with fish and flour. So I took the clean meat of fresh fish, made it into paste and put it into flour to make the first bowl of Macheng fish noodles. Fish noodles soon spread all over the countryside, and people came to learn their skills and made up a nursery rhyme: "Noodles roll up like origami, noodles cut up like flower lines, and they turn around in the pot like peony in a bowl." "
The method of 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 stew 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 meat. If simmered for a long time, the soup taste of fish noodles will be fresher. When the fish noodles are picked up, they will be crystal clear and elastic, and the soup will be milky white 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. Boil 400 grams of fish noodles in a boiling water pot for about 20 minutes. Use chopsticks to rotate and stir in the pot until the fish noodles are scattered, and then pick them up for 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 then pick them up when the oil temperature drops.
4. Cold salad
First, the fish noodles are boiled with clear water, then washed with water, filtered and put into tableware. Sprinkle ginger, garlic, chopped green onion and dried chili into it evenly, and boil a proper amount of cooking oil in an iron pot and pour it 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 fish noodles must be boiled 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.
