Tips

1. If you want to eat hot and sour noodles, the first step is to boil the broth. I use Using two stick bones and a chicken rack, the pot of broth can not only be used to make rice noodles, but also can be used to stew cabbage, cook wontons, etc.

2. It has been introduced before that using Lithospermum is used to boil red oil. The color is really beautiful. It also has the effect of dispelling fire and reducing dryness. It is very suitable for people like me who love spicy food.

3. Fried peanuts really don’t need a lot of oil. A tablespoon is enough, because peanuts themselves have fat, and a little oil can fry them crispy. Note that when the peanuts turn red in cold oil, take them out to prevent them from burning

4. In order to save fuel , in order to save trouble, I made the soybeans in the microwave. The finished product is very crispy, no less than fried or stir-fried. It should be noted that: (1) The soybeans can only be microwaved after they are dried, so that the soybeans will be crispy (2) ), it is best to lay the soybeans flat on the bottom of the plate without overlapping, so that they are heated more evenly and mature at the same time

5. Soak the sweet potato starch in cold water first, and then cook it in the pot. The prepared starch will not stick to each other. , soft, tough and chewy, with a better taste
