Exercise 1
Regan Noodles is different from cold noodles and noodle soup. Noodles are cooked in advance, mixed with oil to dry, and then heated in water when eating. With seasoning, the finished noodles are crispy butter, delicious and attractive.
First, powder the noodles. Many food markets in Wuhan sell fat and alkaline noodles, which are also cheap. After you buy it, boil the water in a big pot, throw the noodles in after the water is boiled, and you can pick it up in one or two. Never cook it too soft, or you can't eat it. Spread the fished noodles on the chopping board, blow them to death with an electric fan, pour oil while blowing, and stir them with a long tool (such as chopsticks for frying fritters). The ultimate goal is to grease each side, which should be tough, biting, but not raw. It takes a lot of skill. No matter how delicious the seasoning is, the noodles with the wrong taste will lose the style of Regan Noodles.
After mixing the noodles and cooling them, start to prepare seasonings. Sesame paste should be authentic and sesame oil should be authentic. Then use this authentic sesame oil to slowly boil the authentic sesame paste into a thin paste. Must be mixed with sesame oil. Many street stalls mix sesame paste with hot water to save money. Can it taste good?
In addition to sesame sauce, soy sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, chopped green onion and pepper, you can put Chili sauce in those who like to eat spicy food, which is the basic member of Wuhan Regan Noodles. In recent years, sour beans, kelp, diced radish and pickles are often added. Although delicious, it hides the original aroma of sesame paste from another angle.
Everything is ready. Let's start now. Boil a pot of boiling water, throw the powdered noodles in, roll them up and take them out. People are already ripe. Add the above seasoning, less soy sauce and more sesame sauce, that's how you eat it, and in moderation. If it is too dry, you can add a little broth or beef soup. Ok, start enjoying the delicious food in this place, but don't burst your stomach ~! Haha ~

Regan Noodles is the first choice snack for Wuhan people, so there is no need to say anything about Wuhan people's feelings for it. People who have been to Wuhan from other places think of Wuhan again, mostly because they think of Regan Noodles in Wuhan. Regan Noodles is no longer just a snack for Wuhan people or friends who have spent some time in Wuhan, but a feeling. If you don't eat it, you will feel homesick, and if you eat it, you will smell fragrant.
The origin of Regan Noodles is actually very simple: probably in the 1930s, a Wuhan man who sold bean jelly and noodle soup for a living was afraid that the unsaleable noodles would turn sour, so he cooked the noodles, fished them up and spread them on the chopping board, accidentally bumped into a sesame oil pan and sprinkled sesame oil. The next day, he scalded the cooked noodles with boiling water several times, put them in a bowl and added seasonings such as chopped green onion. The result is very delicious. In this way, he inadvertently produced the famous Regan Noodles.
It is this unintentional work that is loved by Wuhan people, and almost all of them have booths in Regan Noodles. The earliest formal storefront was Cai's. After a hundred years of washing and training, Cai's taste is clean and refreshing, delicious, and deeply loved by the general public, enjoying the reputation of famous snacks in Wuhan. However, it has declined in recent years, which is probably related to the ubiquitous Regan Noodles stalls and the lack of a good development path.
Although delicious, friends from other places can't enjoy this blessing, because now they can only cook and eat. When I was in Shenzhen before, I missed Regan Noodles very much. I often had to change trains twice, but it was never authentic. But things are different now. Wuhan Guanlida must be the research and development of Food Co., Ltd. for many years, and finally successfully produced the bagged Regan Noodles in Dahankou, which is almost original.
