Kneading trip: knead the dough into a ball, as long as it is steamed

[ Agricultural Products Network] " Knead the dough into a ball, as long as it is steamed." This is a reflection of the randomness of the kneading practice. In fact, there are complex aspects of the simple approach. Many people know that “Xibeiyu Noodle Village” is a restaurant with noodles as the staple food. If you look closely at the way they do the noodles, it is not easy. The noodles are flour made from buckwheat , which is the collective name for soba noodles in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Hebei Bashang. The noodles contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and other nutrients and pharmaceutical ingredients needed by the human body to treat and prevent diabetes , coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and many other diseases. The glutinous rice contains a special substance that is linoleic acid, which has obvious effects on human metabolism.

“Three births and three ripeties” is usually the practice of kneading noodles. From raw buckwheat to making noodles that can be eaten, it has to undergo three times of cooking. Just like two people know each other and form a stranger.

莜 之 trip: a lifetime of cooked

The buckwheat is harvested and pulled to the field for threshing. The seeds that are taken off are naturally raw and cannot be eaten. This is "lifetime." To grind buckwheat into powder, you must first fry the wheat. Support a large wok, the better off naked oats into the pot, slow fire shelves, slowly turning with a spatula, quite similar to sugar Chao Lizi streets. Wait until the buckwheat granules are fried to yellow ripe and slightly coke, and the fragrance is released. This becomes “one cooked”. Friendly Tip: Fried buckwheat is a hard work. The "buckwheat hair" sticks to the skin and it is much more irritating than the hair tweezers. Many people often forget the horrible process of producing noodles when they eat the fragrant noodles. Since I was a child, I was afraid to stick to the fried buckwheat pot.

莜面旅:二生二熟

Grinding the fried wheat into noodles, it became alive again. This is the "two students." From the appearance of glutinous flour, in addition to the slightly darker color, there is no big difference between the flour and ordinary wheat . The local villagers used to use wooden wooden cabinets to store flour. This type of cabinet is painted red paint and is very eye-catching in the room. The northern houses are simple in furnishings, and most of the houses are shackles, so the noodle cabinet is the main furniture of Z. The quality of the home is good and can be seen from the size and brilliance of the noodle cabinet. When the flour is eaten, it must first be made into a noodle, and Z is special. When it is noodles, you can't use cold water. You have to use boiling water (the locals call boiling water).舀 The right amount of glutinous flour in the basin, with half of the boiling water, you can meet. Because it is rolling water and noodles, this becomes "two cooked."

And the good noodles, you have to heat the kneading products on the basket to steam. There are many different types of kneading products. Z is labor-saving and lazy. It uses a wooden press to squeeze the dough into many noodles. This is called “pressing”; pay attention to it, use the hand to knead the dough on the chopping board. knead on thin noodles, called "You-face fish fish." This kind of fish and fish, the average person can only use one hand at a time, and the Z capable housewife can operate both hands at the same time, and one hand can lick two or three fish. Z's common method of making is to make a "small-faced nest": pinch a small group of noodles, and use a right hand to push it on a glazed pottery plate that is slanted like a slap-on board. , pick up a thin piece of enamel, then bend it into a tube on the finger, standing on the gauze of the cage. A large number of such cylinders stand together one upon another, forming a honeycomb-like face.

莜 之 trip: three raw three cooked

Whether it is cockroaches, fish or fish, it has become alive (three students). The next step is to add water and add firewood. When the white smoke in the steamer rises and the house is filled with the unique smell of the noodles, the noodles are steamed (three cooked). At this time, the noodles can really eat.

For life, three generations of three ripeness means a complex process of life communication, including special factors.

The food said: Not all people have a fate with the noodles, and not all people have eaten the noodles. Many people seem to have met each other and are strangers. Therefore, there is a kind of complex feelings!
