If you don't eat for three days, your body will be shaken.

For people in many places in the northwest region, stir-fried noodles are a very common noodle dish. They are available in restaurants and every family can make them. It is very popular among everyone.

When it comes to stir-fried noodles, the essence lies in "stir-frying". When stir-fried, the four flavors of meat, vegetables, noodles and soup are mixed together, which is the authentic local flavor.

In addition, the way to eat it is also very particular. Noodle soup is a must, and crunchy raw garlic is also indispensable. When you have everything ready, you can only have a meal of fried noodles.

However, the noodles in the restaurant are not that delicious now. Because there are so many people, the chef is anxious and the noodles are taken out before they are broken. It is too hard to chew, but it is still delicious and smooth as the home version.

Below, I’ll teach you how to make the authentic home version.

The first step of Northwest Fried La Tiao: Prepare the main ingredients.

First, let’s prepare the noodles.

This noodle can be made into hand-pulled noodles, or you can buy smooth round noodles from noodle shops.

I didn’t use hand-pulled noodles this time because the process of writing an article seemed too complicated. I will explain in detail how to make Northwest people’s hand-pulled noodles in two days.

Secondly, prepare some beef.

Just a small piece of beef is fine. I just bought it from a butcher shop. It costs more than 40 pounds. I plan to cut it into small pieces and freeze it.

Step 2: Prepare auxiliary ingredients.

The auxiliary ingredients are various matching vegetables. There are many choices for this, and you can decide the side dishes according to your own preferences.

For example, this time, we first shred the green and red peppers.

If I can tolerate spicy food, I prefer chili peppers, which are quite flavorful.

Prepare some tomatoes, the soup will be better, and the soup base will be very beautiful.

The only downside is that the tomatoes are a bit sweet now.

More onions!

You can also replace it with garlic moss, which can fully enhance the flavor of this dish of noodles.

Prepare some more green vegetables.

For example, zucchini and small celery stalks are good choices.

In terms of color matching, red and green will also look good.

It goes without saying that garlic and ginger are essential for cooking.

Step 3: Boil the noodles in cold water.

Why not stir-fry the vegetables first but cook the noodles first? Because the noodles are very smooth and chewy. After boiling, you don’t have to worry about them getting lumpy together and the texture won’t be chewy.

Boil the water, add the noodles, and cook until the texture you like is good. If it feels too hard, you can add cold water in the middle, but don't cook it too soft when making stir-fried noodles.

Look, this noodle is very elastic and very smooth. You need to add cold water twice in the middle when you buy it.

After cooking, pour cold water.

After that, immediately drain the water and fish it out.

Just leave it as it is, no need to mix it with oil. The oil is mixed in restaurants because it is left for a long time and the quantity is large. This problem does not exist at home.

Step 4: Stir-fry.

First sauté the ginger and garlic, stir-fry the meat, add peppercorns, thirteen spices, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. These seasonings are enough.

Then, add the tomatoes, stir-fry for a few times and then add some water to make the soup. It is best to add more water.

Then, add the garnishes, the ones that are not easy to cook first, and the garnishes that are easy to cook can be put later.

Add salt. After frying, you can transfer it to another bowl or just leave it like this if there are many pots.

Step 5: Mix and fry.

Turn on the heat, put vegetables on the bottom, noodles on top, and add some soy sauce.

Mix and stir-fry so that the flavors of meat, vegetables, noodles and soup are fully mixed under the heat of fire to release the maximum fragrance.

Step 6: The delicious food is ready. According to the way Northwest people eat, it would be delicious to have a bowl of noodle soup with just garlic!

The recipe is so simple. To make this noodle dish, you don’t need to fry other vegetables at all. The nutrition of the side dishes is enough, and there is no need to cook the soup. The noodle soup is the most authentic and comfortable partner.
