The water is a kind of food that we people in Gansu, and even in most of the Northwest China, like to eat. But as we are always in Shanghai, it is very rare for us to eat it again. Although there are some places like Dunhuang Pavilion and Dunhuang Hotel that have water noodles, but for some folks who are far away from these northwestern style restaurants, eating a meal of water noodles has become a kind of luxury.
This summer, I in the parents of the remote command, try to make their own water, I did not expect success. Now there is no need to worry about not being able to eat the water. Now I will introduce the method of making slurry water to you, and the old folks who have the conditions can also try to make it by themselves ah.
The first thing is to choose the vegetables. The Gansu slurry is mostly made of bitter clover, which is naturally not available in Shanghai, but you can use celery leaves, or cabbage leaves and other coarse fiber vegetables instead. I found the vegetable market has a kind of Shanghai people called chrysanthemum cabbage, compared to the good. It's just a bit expensive . Wash the bought vegetables. Boil a little with hot water, water that is open can be, you can add less diluted powder owed. Then pour the vegetables and water into the container to store the pulp water, the first time to do the pulp water, because there is no primer, you can wait for the cooled down into a small amount of vinegar to make acid. Remember not to put in the vinegar while the water is hot. Well, let it sit like this for two or three days, and the delicious slurry water is ready.
The thing to note here is that the paste water is very afraid of oil in the process of making. Sometimes a little bit of oil can spoil the whole pot of slurry. Therefore, the chopsticks used for washing, cooking, serving, and even fishing are best used for special purposes or washed very well to ensure that the slurry will not go bad.
Here are some common ways to eat the water:
1. Water. This one needs no introduction, Gansu people know how to do it. Another point is that if you keep the pot and chopsticks clean during the cooking process, and use the noodle broth to cook the dishes for the slurry, you can make the slurry taste more beautiful. Because there is starch in the noodle soup, it can play a role in fermentation.
2. Although I have not personally done this, but I have seen family members do it, it is also very simple. Boil a pot of water, and then slowly sprinkle in the Pods of flour, while sprinkling and stirring. When it boils, pour in some of the slurry and put some salt on it. It's hard to wash the pot after eating
3. Take some of the slurry water with hot water rinse a few times, dry the water, cool. Put some salt and monosodium glutamate, in the use of dried chili peppers and garlic as a lead, with hot oil splash, that is a delicious cold dishes. This summer I am eating cold slurry dishes, drinking beer, sitting on the couch to watch the World Cup, huh, so that drinking beer will not be fat
Well, we know, you may as well do it yourself, maybe also can make a delicious slurry. If there are other experiences, I hope to also come to exchange
