The key to making Lanzhou slurry noodles is still the composting of the slurry. In fact, the production of slurry water is not complicated. But it must be clean. The process must avoid the infection of other bacteria. The best thing to do is to make pottery products, that is, clay pots. If not, a glass one will do. The main ingredient for making slurry water is to compost it with vegetables. Celery, lotus flower and lettuce are usually the best. The vegetables can be washed, shredded, sliced or sliced into large pieces and placed in a jar. Then pour in boiling clear noodle soup (or make a little clear noodle soup with noodles). When it cools, add the starter. By "starter," I mean yeast. The general practice in Lanzhou is to ask your neighbors for some old syrup to put in as yeast. If you don't have it, you need to make the yeast first. It is actually very simple. Is to mix a little cornmeal with cornmeal paste, and then let him ferment into yeast (see its slightly bubbly, smell its sour flavor can be) - find a ball of white flour to put the sour can also be, generally poured into the primer, placed in four or five days can be eaten. Do not need to seal, cover the lid can be.

Made good pulp water, never hand with a utensil directly to the pulp water pot to reach in and scoop out. Remember to use a dedicated utensil scoop. Before use, it is best to use boiling water again before scooping. This is mainly to prevent other bacteria from invading and infecting the fermented syrup. In Lanzhou people's words is the pulp water "whitening", if infected by other bacteria, you will see the pulp water on a layer of white foam like things, the pulp water should be poured out, because the pulp water is contaminated, has been bad.

Depending on the local temperature, the water should be renewed regularly. Generally, the temperature is very high update to be faster; on the contrary, you can half a month update can be. The so-called renewal, that is, fishing out the soaked for a period of time

the dish, into the new dish re-added water soaking. Fished out of the old vegetables, also known as pulp water vegetables, can be directly cold or for cooking fried food can be. Its taste is slightly sour, add some seasoning, strong flavor, excellent taste.

It is important to note that some of the commercially available syrups now have vinegar, which is not good! Be careful to judge when you eat.

There are many ways to eat pulp water:

First of all, it is a pure green drink without any additives, the pulp water filtered, plus sugar - very good to drink, sweet and sour cleansing, I remember when I was a child, many of my classmates in the summer class will be brought as a summer drink, decompression, detoxification and defeat the fire, it's great!

Choke syrup water, another way to drink. The cilantro, green onion, pepper, dried chili pepper, salt with hot oil in the frying spoon chili, pour into the filtered syrup water can be, can be used as a drink with meals, the flavor of some for the thicker, that is, mixing syrup surface or syrup fish fish soup.

Pulp water, preferably hand-rolled noodles, noodles should be rolled out evenly thick and thin, rolled out, stacked neatly. Cutting the noodles must be fine and uniform. When the noodles are cooked in the pot, use the chili oil to make a good stock to pour it, can be eaten. The accompanying vegetables are chopped raw pickled leeks and red chili peppers, which are salty, spicy, sour and sweet, giving people a thirst-quenching and refreshing sensation. But the surface of the water is a very bland food, so the way to eat is to eat with almost cold meat pig's feet, elbow meat, etc., as well as very spicy tiger skin chili, will make you appetite, meat and vegetarian, so eat nutritious and not greasy, really summer dishes.
