I'm not from Hangzhou, but I have eaten over the bridge rice noodles in Hangzhou.
Rice, and even over the bridge rice noodles is a specialty of Yunnan, come to Yunnan or eat authentic Yunnan over the bridge rice noodles friends most of the praise, because over the bridge rice noodles taste fresh and moderate, not too sweet, too spicy or too sour, people from north and south of the sea can be adapted to.
Most of the Yunnan restaurants outside the province, including the bridge rice noodles, are doing well, provided they are authentic. Unfortunately, I have seen the so-called Yunnan food hall more than 70% are not Yunnan people open, make the dishes regardless of ingredients, ingredients or cooking methods are plausible or even inexplicable, the taste of both Yunnan people or outsiders tasted are not complimentary, and greatly undermine the reputation of Yunnan cuisine. I myself in Hangzhou, Dalian, Shenzhen and other places have tried this so-called "Yunnan restaurant" to ruin the reputation of Yunnan cuisine.
When it comes to rice noodles, many of my friends who have never been to Yunnan disdain them, and even confuse them with rice noodles and vermicelli, because most of the rice noodles in the provinces are not considered to be rice noodles in the eyes of the people of Yunnan, not to mention whether the taste is authentic or not.
Unfortunately, this was the case with the bridge rice noodles I ate in Hangzhou, which were thicker than rice noodles, and the "rice sticks" are still unforgettable.
Back to your question, there are three types of authentic rice noodles on the market: dry rice noodles, sour rice noodles, and washed rice noodles. The dry batter is the thinnest but sinewy, and tastes refreshing and flavorful. Sour milk is the thickest, eating soft and smooth. Washed between the two, the thickness is also in the middle.
The authentic Bridge Rice Noodle originally chose dry rice noodles as the main ingredient, but the development of different varieties of rice noodles is generally based on the preference of each person.
Additionally in the last two years in the supermarket can be seen in the packaged "rice noodles" or similar instant noodles "convenient bridge rice noodles", these industrial processing and packaging of industrialized products manufacturers, although there is no lack of local enterprises in Yunnan, but because of the process of the various aspects of reasons These "rice noodles" and the traditional sense of fresh rice noodles have been very different, can only deceive the foreign friends.
As for the production and processing of rice noodles, I happened to see a similar question elsewhere, and now the answer over there to believe that you can help.
Learning how to make rice noodles is easy, and it's estimated that you'll be able to learn eight or nine in a week. It's the raw materials that are the problem, especially the rice noodles.
There is a Yunnan restaurant on Nonglinxia Road in Guangzhou, which is considered to be mid-range, and once the owner's wife mysteriously sent a special dish - a small pot of rice noodles, which was sold for 30 yuan a bowl, and it was very popular. I tasted it and found that the main reason is that her rice noodles are Kunming air transported over, and the flavor is just similar to the local Yunnan ordinary small pot of rice noodles. This shows the importance of authentic rice noodles.
I hope that LZ will not repeat the mistakes of those who are not authentic Yunnan cuisine, to open a bridge rice store to be prepared, craftsmanship without having to reach the level of Kunming, Mengzi, those famous bridge rice store, as long as the average level of the same as the average level of Yunnan on OK. the key is the rice noodles, non-contact this side of the supplier of air transport every day, if you are a variety of restaurants to achieve the positioning of the middle and high end of the package, the price up to get, the profitability of the possible! The But the small scale may be difficult enough. After all, few people will go to the small store to spend 30 yuan to eat a bowl of rice noodles and knife-shaved noodles, Lanzhou Ramen, the same grade of rice noodles, even if you do a very authentic and delicious.
Additionally, the purchase of the machine and Yunnan rice, and then learn to do the rice noodle technology to your place to do it is not feasible? I have not heard of anyone tried, after all, do rice noodles in addition to rice also seems to be related to water quality, I do not know whether the water quality of your place is suitable to make the same rice noodles. There is also the issue of cost, even if you have the money to purchase machines can be done successfully, but if only to supply you with a rice noodle store I'm afraid the cost-effective ratio is not cost-effective.
Additionally, learning bridge rice noodles Yuxi is not the best choice, Yuxi people's favorite is not bridge rice noodles. The most important thing is to learn to go to Mengzi or Kunming to learn the bridge rice noodle.
If the bridge is very popular in the local area, and the processing of rice noodles by the practice of confirming the success of the words can consider the introduction of authentic machines and ingredients in the local production, so that not only cost savings, but also to the other bridge rice noodle store supply of authentic rice noodle, not only a good business opportunity, but also to the authentic Yunnan bridge rice noodle to spread out, it is a good end of a multi **** win.
Also, really want to do authentic bridge rice line do not hearsay, especially online and the media on the so-called chain to join, it is best to personally visit Yunnan. It does not have to be very far, to Kunming believe that the demand can be met.
P.S: The picture is a vegetable market sells the sour paste rice noodles, buy home can be cooked to eat. There is no denying that there are a lot of ingredients around the country that look similar or even the same as rice noodles, but the essence and flavor are absolutely different from rice noodles.
