Hot-dry noodles are Wuhan’s specialty food. What should be the authentic way to make hot-dry noodles?
There is a shop that mixes eggs and flour evenly, and uses a dough press to process it into strong noodles. There are various shapes of medium thickness. The key to hot-dry noodles is to use boiled water and fresh water. The skill is very mature. Pick it up. It should not be too raw or too cooked, as this will affect the taste and texture. After picking up the hot-dried noodles, place them on the chopping board and add some oil to shake them. The purpose is to prevent the whole noodles from sticking together. Let them cool and start selling them as soon as possible. The noodles come with all the main condiments, including minced garlic, authentic sesame sauce, xiangxiang, etc. People line up to eat this kind of noodles every morning. After eating this noodles, I have never eaten any other noodles again. I never get tired of it.
Hot-dry noodles may seem simple, but they are actually very particular. This authentic method is the secret of every family. There is definitely no answer to this. But there is one thing. Let me summarize the soul of hot dry noodles: they are fragrant when heated (sesame sauce aroma), dry but not mushy. The noodles are chewy and smooth, salty and sweet. Those hot dry noodles that have a lot of auxiliary ingredients such as sour beans and so on are definitely not authentic. Wuhan hot dry noodles are one of the traditional popular snacks in Wuhan. Generally speaking, they are cooked alkaline noodles mixed with oil. A spoonful of sesame paste, chopped onion and ginger, a spoonful of garlic water, salt, MSG, soy sauce, pepper, spicy radish cubes, mix well.
First of all, the noodles must be alkaline noodles, thick and round, and thin ones are for cold noodles. Secondly, there must be more water when cooking the noodles. If there is less water, the noodles will easily burn. Then, don’t make too much noodles at one time. , when the noodles are ripe, you can cook them, and then use cooked oil on one side, but the oil temperature should not be high. Generally, I fry a plate of peanuts and wait for the oil to cool down naturally. One side, the area should be wider, and the oil should be even and even, not too much. The last thing is the ingredients. The sesame sauce should be seasoned with sesame oil. The spicy radish and green onions should be chopped carefully. The noodles should be cooled naturally. Just cook them to the core when eating. Do not over-burn them. At the end, I emphasize that the noodles must be thick, round and alkaline noodles. The noodles are eight mature and cooked with oil on one side.
