Chopped green onion, sauerkraut, and coriander sauce: Heat the oil in a pan and cook the minced garlic with soy sauce. It’s simple to make but very delicious!

Are there any delicious noodles in your hometown?

Luoxiu Town has beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. Due to the traffic congestion and transportation difficulties in the past, there is no industry in the whole town, which means there is no pollution. You can drink the water flowing down from the mountains as it is sweet and soothes your throat.

The unique conditions have laid a good foundation for the development of Luoxiu rice noodles.

Since it is rice noodles, we have to talk about rice. What is surprising is that Luoxiu rice noodles use old rice. The longer the rice is stored, the better. The old rice after shelling is not used for cooking.

It's delicious, but it's called "hard" in local dialect, but it's an excellent ingredient for making rice noodles.

Just like making rice noodles, Luo Xiu rice noodles are soaked, then ground and steamed. The difference is that the steamed rice noodles must be sun-dried, cut into strips, and packaged.

Let’s talk about packaging in particular. People use local iconic dried water plants to bundle the weighed rice noodles, seal the outside with film, and then pack them into sealed boxes and store them in storage.

However, the gift boxes now launched no longer use water plants, but are vacuum packed.

It looks exquisite, but locals don't buy it. If you want to eat Luo Xiu rice noodles, you'd better buy simple ones, which are tied with water and grass.

The quality is the same, why pay for the outer packaging, when you can buy an extra pound of rice noodles with the money.

The way to eat Luo Xiu rice noodles is simple. You can directly put it in the pot under cold water. After boiling, add cooking oil, salt, and your favorite foods, such as bad chili pepper, scallion oil, bean paste, chili oil, etc.

Everyone remembers that rice noodles are already cooked. We only need to cook them until they are soft. That is, use chopsticks to pick up a stick of rice noodles. If you can easily pinch it off, you can take it out.

Nowadays, noodle shops outside like to use Luoxiu rice noodles, whether it is snail noodles, pig offal noodles, Guilin rice noodles, pig's trotters noodles, or stir-fried noodles.

Shops that specialize in rice noodles use rice noodles as a spare tire. When business is good and the rice noodles are sold out, they immediately soak a few piles of rice noodles and continue to operate.

Nowadays, everyone pays attention to the sense of ritual. The way of eating mentioned above is too simple. Now let’s talk about the way of eating that everyone likes.

Taking the most common pig's trotters powder as an example, first pack the pig's trotters, cut them into two pieces from the middle, then chop them into eight pieces, then blanch them and cook until the pig skin is soft.

The pig's trotters should be cooked over high heat throughout, and a handful of fennel should be added at the same time. The effect is not to remove the fishy smell, but to make the soup more milky and white, and the pig's trotters will taste faster.

After the pig's feet are boiled until tender, take them out and drain them. The next step is to fry them in oil.

Add light soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, spice packets, ginger and green onions to the soup to make brine.

The pig's feet are also fried here. Soak the pig's feet in brine for a few hours to make them delicious.

At the same time, soak the Luo Xiu rice noodles in water, no matter how long it takes.

This powder has a special characteristic: it becomes soft when exposed to water, but after it becomes soft, no matter how long it is soaked, it will not become rotten.

Scoop out an appropriate amount of rice noodles, blanch them in hot water for 1-2 minutes, put them into a bowl, pour in brine, add pieces of pig's feet, chopped green onions, and peppers of your choice, and you're ready to eat.

Friends often ask me, why do I need to prepare a separate pot of hot water to blanch rice noodles? Can’t I blanch it directly in the brine?

It really doesn’t work. It’s hard to control the quality and taste by scalding the noodles directly in brine.

Because the rice noodles will absorb the salty taste of the brine, it will definitely be too salty at the beginning, and too bland at the end. Only the middle part is tasty, which is difficult to control.

Moreover, during the blanching process, starch will fall off, making the brine thicker and causing a worse taste.
