Chapter 250 Dragon Beard Noodles

"Phew, very satisfied."

Leonora Nakiri put the plate down and couldn't help but lick the grease residue at the corner of her mouth.

Then, she touched her belly, looking full of contentment.

Perhaps it was because of the spicy food that her face, which had always been very fair, gradually became a little rosy. Especially under the light, she looked a little different!

"I'll give you a glass of water to relieve the spiciness."

Zhang Fan thoughtfully poured a glass of water and placed it in front of her.

"Thanks."

Leonora was stunned.

Then she stopped talking and couldn't help but pick up the water glass and started drinking.

Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu, the taste of the whole dish still lingers in your mouth, so even when you drink water, you will feel a bit fragrant!

…

"Your Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu dish is the same as the previous Magic Mapo Tofu. It focuses on taste and texture, right?"

"As for the six-flavored Magic Mapo Tofu, one of them is hot! So, I would like to ask, how do you manage to seal the tofu in a wooden mold without losing its temperature?"

After drinking the water, Leonora Nakiri asked Zhang Fan doubtfully.

Although it is undeniable that this Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu is very creative and strange, Mapo Tofu requires that it be hot, and it must be so hot that it is impossible to eat.

It is absolutely impossible for tofu sealed in a wooden mold to be heated all the time.

So, how did Zhang Fan maintain heat?

It was obvious that she couldn't figure out this issue.

…

"Didn't you see clearly when I showed you the bottom of the wooden mold just now?"

"I put tinfoil around the wooden mold that has a thermal insulation effect. After all, tinfoil can help the food heat evenly and prevent the food from burning."

"In addition, it can also play a role in sealing and keeping food ingredients warm."

"Tinfoil?"

Hearing this, Leonora's eyes widened, as if she had some realization.

She couldn't help but slap her forehead, and then smiled bitterly: "Oh, fortunately, I am still the department head of the Nakiri International Research Society, and I even ignored this common sense!"

"It's really interesting. I can actually make a new twist on the Chinese Mapo Tofu."

On the side, Taki Kadozaki, who was the assistant cook, overheard the conversation between Zhang Fan and Leonora, and began to express admiration and surprise.

"As expected, his cuisine... is always full of surprises!"

In the end, Kadozaki Taki could only sigh deeply.

…

In this world, there is a beauty that can be encountered but not sought, and it is called:

Bowl!

This is very difficult to achieve between people, but it can be done with an izakaya.

After all, delicious food can always be connected with memories. Just like many diners who come to an izakaya to eat and drink, they usually order their favorite dishes and then sit down and taste them.

As time goes by, the flow of people in the izakaya is increasing, and the business is getting better and better.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, a bowl of dragon beard noodles, add some spiciness."

"Okay, wait a moment!"

Dragon whiskers noodles.

The most attractive part is the delicateness of the noodles themselves.

Therefore, if you want to make perfect dragon whisker noodles, the thinner the noodles used, the better.

Xue Baozhan, a native of Shaanxi in the late Qing Dynasty, said in "A Brief Introduction to Vegetarian Food" that "Zhen noodles" were popular in Shaanxi and Shanxi areas, and the most popular ones were in Taiyuan, Chaoyi, and Tongzhou, Shaanxi.

It is as thin as a leek and as thin as dried noodles. It can be made into a triangular shape or a hollow shape. It can withstand continuous cooking, is soft and can be toughened.

And this kind of Zhentiao noodles is Shanxi’s ramen now.

Ramen can be steamed, boiled, baked, fried or stir-fried, each with its own flavor.

Of course, there are many types, including large ramen, small ramen, dragon beard noodles, hollow noodles, etc.

Generally speaking, those with less than 7 bucks are called large ramen, those with more than 7 bucks are called dragon beard noodles, and those made by ordinary families are small ramen. Therefore, the most attractive thing about Long Xu Noodles is the delicateness of the noodles themselves.

But as you can see, Zhang Fan started making ramen.

He first put a layer of high-gluten flour on the chopping board, rolled the flour that had been added with water into a ball on the board, and then kneaded the dough until it became tough.

After that, quickly stretch the dough on the chopping board into a 3 cm wide strip, and then roll it with a layer of high-gluten flour.

Hold both ends and swing your hands up and down at the same time, so that the stretching movement of pulling noodles can be coordinated, standard and elegant.

So much so that Leonora, who had not left yet, was stunned!

…

A stretching action is a buckle.

And 1 buckle is a multiple of energy

After repeating this several times, the faces are separated, thinly and one by one, fluttering in the air like silver ribbons, which makes people dazzled.

At this moment, Zhang Fan was stretching the noodles very quickly.

With the whole bundle of noodles in his hands, it seemed as if life had been injected into him and he was "alive".

Even more terrifying, he finally stretched it to 8 buckles, that is:

2 to the 8th power is 256 noodles.

And just when everyone was in shock, he didn't mean to stop completely. He continued to merge one end with the other, and then pulled out the new end and shook it.

9 buckles, 10 buckles...

Leonora finally reacted: "Isn't it? This... this should be the 10th dunk, right?"

Then, Zhang Fan repeated the stretching action again.

"11 bucks?"

…

When we got here, the atmosphere of the entire izakaya seemed very quiet.

Just as Leonora and others were looking forward to whether he could stretch to the astonishing 12 buttons, Zhang Fan paused slightly, and a drop of sweat began to slowly fall from his forehead.

Afterwards, he tensed up his expression, closed his eyes deeply first, and tried to adjust his state so that he could relax.

It was estimated that more than ten seconds had passed before he quickly opened his bright eyes and continued to stretch the noodles. At this moment, time around him seemed to have stopped.

Finally, 12 buckles were completed.

This means that a small piece of dough is enough for him to pull out:

4096 noodles!

…

Although noodle restaurants can be found everywhere in China, it is difficult to find a noodle restaurant that represents Shandong cuisine.

Looking into the reason, it may be that noodles in Yulu cuisine are too common. The familiar tomatoes braised noodles, the fried noodles that are often eaten as snacks... these are all masterpieces of Shandong noodles.

In fact, Shandong noodles do have a nice name: Longxu noodles!

It is said that more than 300 years ago, smart Shandong people made wheat noodles into noodles, which became a special snack of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Because of the majestic posture of stretching the noodles, the stretched noodles are as thin as hair.

After the emperor saw it, he couldn't help but feel very happy, so he quickly named it Longxumian.

Today, although Longxu Noodles cannot become as popular as Lanzhou Beef Ramen across the country, this convenient and amazing noodle dish has gradually become popular among many people!

With the development of the catering industry and market competition, the standard of dragon whisker noodles has now been defined as 14 buckles, 16,384 pieces.

When making noodles, it is different from the simple stretching of noodles. Usually noodle performers will incorporate various dance movements into the process.

…

At this time, finish stretching the noodles.

Zhang Fan, who has sharp eyes and quick hands, put cuttlefish, eggs, grass shrimps, clams, mushrooms, fish fillets, pea pods and other ingredients into the bowl.

Then pour in the delicately cooked fish soup, cover it, and set it to medium-high heat.

After 5 minutes, the lid was lifted, and the rich soup began to boil "gudonggudong".

"This noodle soup looks so rich. How much stuff was put into it?"

Leonora, who had just finished eating the Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu, swallowed involuntarily.

However, Zhang Fan, who was busy here, still ignored the admiration of others and quickly put the dragon beard noodles into the soup, arranged other ingredients neatly on the noodles, and poured the soup into it.

Finally, cover over medium-high heat and continue to simmer for 2 minutes. Place the chopped green onions on top of the asparagus noodles.

In this way, a delicious bowl of dragon beard noodles is completed!

…

Suck, suck, suck~

Soon, the sound of eating ramen could be heard in the izakaya.

In that bowl of asparagus noodle soup, pea pods, cuttlefish, eggs, grass shrimps, and clams were put in. These ingredients were indeed common and simple.

But look at the dragon beard noodles again, it really only has two words:

So detailed!

It's so thin that it floats on the water, reminding people of a dragon's beard.

No, this bowl of noodles is already slender than a beard. It even feels like it can be broken if you pinch it with a little force with chopsticks.

"It melts in your mouth, as if it was just a snowflake lingering in Wen Wen's mouth. The noodles are as long and slender as hair, and are smooth and delicate in the mouth, giving people a soft and comfortable feeling!"

After being stunned for a few moments, the diner who had eaten the noodles couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then continued to eat the noodles!

fragrant.

It smells really good.

It's so fragrant that you want to wrap it up in plastic wrap right away so that it stays forever.

…

A mouthful of noodles.

A mouthful of soup.

Some more meat and some chives.

The ingredients used are very simple yet delicious.

The finished asparagus noodles are crystal clear and taste extremely delicious, especially the noodle soup that contains the essence of all ingredients. Even if you drink a small drop, you will feel extremely delicious!

Although the thin noodles are a highlight of Zhang Fan's bowl of Longxu Noodles, the most important thing is that it retains the traditional Chinese soup noodle form and uses ingredients to show its unique taste.

Yes.

Stretch the noodles until they are as thin as hair.

In fact, this does not mean anything. The preparation and preparation of the soup is the most important thing and the soul.

Just like this diner, he just scooped up a mouthful of noodle soup with a small spoon and tasted it lightly. He suddenly felt hot all over his body and his consciousness began to gradually become lost.

…

Pepper Pancakes.

A famous traditional snack in Taiwan.

The freshly rolled skin, freshly wrapped ingredients, and freshly baked heat, almost every detail reveals the maker's ingenuity.

At this moment, I saw the whole piece of dough slowly taking shape under the skillful hands of Yukihira Soma!

It is hand-wrapped with plump meat fillings, chopped green onions, sprinkled with a large amount of pepper and a special secret spice recipe. The dough is soaked in water and sprinkled with sesame seeds. One by one, it sticks to the stove and is hot.

The crust of the pancake is crispy, the filling is juicy, the pungent aroma of pepper, and the fresh and sweet taste of pork are really:

Delicious!

In the early days, Taiwanese people called pepper cakes "Fuzhou cakes"

However, because pepper was added to the cake to enhance the flavor, and "pepper cake" sounds similar to "Fuzhou cake", it was changed to "pepper cake". However, this does not affect the innate deliciousness of this person.

Especially after roasting, it gives off bursts of burnt aroma, which is very delicious.

…

This school festival event.

Chuangzhen had already made sufficient preparations. When he learned that the eighth seat Kuga Teruki was a chef who was good at Chinese cuisine, he developed a pepper cake on his own.

When you hold the baked pepper cake in your hand, it looks like a big bun and feels heavy.

At the same time, a scent of sesame and pepper hit the nose.

After biting open, these two flavors are even more intense. If you continue to bite into the meat filling, the meat juice bursts out instantly and the aroma is overflowing.

The meat and green onions inside are mixed just right, and the slight spiciness of pepper brings out the freshness and sweetness of the pork shank.

And the more you chew, the more the aroma of onion and meat fills your mouth.

Just the aroma emanating from the golden skin makes people want to stop.

The pork and green vegetable foam are not as spicy as expected under the background of pepper. On the contrary, they bring out the delicious flavor of the meat, and with the full gravy in every bite, it is indeed another kind of enjoyment.

…

Um!

how to say?

In the sea of ​​delicious food, there are always some flavors that make you frown when you first taste them, but are unforgettable after you taste them carefully.

This pepper cake is such a unique dish.

hot!

This is the first feeling.

But what follows is just the right amount of spiciness and aroma.

Because green onions and pepper are the soul of pepper cakes, and they are baked directly on the wall of the oven, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, spicy and juicy.

If you can have another cup of sweet and sour plum juice, you can instantly eliminate the greasiness and make people want to have another serving!

Overall, the taste and texture of the pepper cake is a complete comprehensive experience.

It has the softness and toughness of the dough, the deliciousness and juiciness of the meat filling, the spiciness and excitement of pepper, and the freshness and vitality of chopped green onion...

When these elements are constantly intertwined and collided in the mouth, an unforgettable delicious taste can be produced.

"It feels like the heat is a bit lacking."

"I obviously imitated the authentic pepper cake oven. I dug a hole under the large upside-down water tank, put an iron plate in the hole, and put a big paint bucket on it."

"And we also use charcoal to heat up the stove and make the iron plate red. After taking out the charcoal fire, stick the cake on the wall of the cylinder and bake it for 15 minutes."

"Weird!"

"Where else did the problem occur?"

After swallowing and analyzing it carefully, Yukihira Souma couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

If he had put this kind of pepper cake in the past, he would have been very satisfied and approved of it, but it was not enough for the Moon Festival event!
