Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

"Stir-fried noodles? Are they the same as stir-fried pork ribs?"

Zhuang Yizhou is from southern Jiangsu, and the term fried noodles is somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Zhu Yong, a Hubei native, was also a little surprised. He knew how to make fried noodles, but if the raw noodles were fried directly, would it be edible?

Ma Zhiqiang, who had just eaten a few bites of fried pancakes, knew how to make stir-fried noodles. When he heard about making this kind of noodles, he immediately became energetic:

"Chef, please cook more. In the past few years of living in the capital, I have never tasted the raw and stir-fried noodles from my hometown."

Wei Gan wasn't too full after eating the fried pancakes just now. He nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I'll use a bigger pot this time and make more, so that Zhu Yong and Master Zhuang can try it too. Apart from the time required, this thing is no less than fried pancakes in other aspects."

Zhu Yong and Zhuang Yizhou were originally not interested in raw stir-fried noodles and thought they wouldn't taste too good.

But when I heard that the taste was comparable to the delicious fried pancakes I had just eaten, I immediately became energetic.

As long as it tastes good, everything else will be easy.

"Master Zhuang, you cut the meat, and I'll ask Lao Ji for some noodles. The thinner the better, right Wei Gan?"

"It's not that thinner is better. Thinner, wider than thin noodles. It's the kind of leek noodles. Thinner will make it more cooked, and wider will make it more chewy."

If several chefs eat it, it must be as delicious as it gets.

But this was treated as fried pancakes as compensation to the proprietress. Naturally, the more noodles resemble pancakes, the better.

After Zhu Yong went to the pastry department, Zhuang Yizhou picked up a piece of pork belly and began to cut it into thin slices according to Wei Gan's instructions. As for Wei Gan, he was choosing side dishes.

"When making stir-fried noodles, they usually use celery and soybean sprouts...but the boss lady doesn't seem to eat soybean sprouts, so I'd better switch to something else."

Wei Qian picked out a few tender celery sticks and half an onion, so that the side dishes were complete.

Adding onions can add sweetness to the noodles and make them taste fresher.

Back in front of the stove, the meat had been cut, and Zhu Yong also brought four or five kilograms of noodles. Ji Minghui walked over while wiping his hands:

"Didn't you guys have dinner? Why did you suddenly have sex with noodles again?"

"Wei Gan said that noodles can be fried raw, but we didn't believe it, so he took the initiative to make a pot for everyone to try, and we helped prepare it."

"Yes, I can't even stop him. He also said that just one bite of the stir-fried noodles will make you want to stop."

The few of them tacitly agreed not to finish up Lin Xu's remaining shredded fried pancakes, but instead talked about raw fried noodles.

Well, you can't let him know about making fried pancakes. After all, you didn't call him when you were eating. Now, making fried noodles requires his efforts, which is somewhat unjustifiable.

Wei Gan cut the onion into shreds, cut the celery into thin strips vertically, and then cut it into sections more than an inch long with a knife.

After cutting, prepare some onions, ginger, and garlic. The ingredients for making raw stir-fried noodles are ready.

At the booth outside, Lin Xu unknowingly ate most of a small bowl of shredded fried pancakes, and only half of the garlic cloves in the bowl were left.

This pasta with garlic cloves is really addictive.

He got up and returned to the kitchen, preparing to serve himself a bowl of egg soup. He was a little choked just eating the shredded pancakes, so he had to drink the soup smoothly.

As soon as he entered, he saw Wei Gan putting the wok on the stove.

Zhu Yong and others were gathered around, looking like they were watching the fun.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Xu took a sip from a bowl of egg soup and walked over curiously.

Ji Minghui said:

"Wei Gan is going to make stir-fried noodles, and we're here to learn from experience."

Raw fried noodles?

Why did you suddenly think of doing this?

Lin Xu glanced at the remaining pancake shreds for Baby Shen in the basin, only to realize that the small bowl of pancake shreds that was left had disappeared.

He instantly understood the motivation behind making stir-fried noodles.

I finished eating the fried pancakes, so I found a remedy, right?

But making raw stir-fried noodles is also good. Shen Baobao has never tried it. I didn’t expect Wei Qian to make this kind of old-fashioned stir-fried noodles. It’s rare these days.

Most of today's fried noodles use machine-made cooked noodles. They are stir-fried with side dishes in a pot for a minute or two and then cooked. It is simple, fast, and easy to store.

But in fact, before this mechanism of cooked noodles, there was also a kind of raw stir-fried noodles that was popular in several provinces in North China.

The method of making this kind of fried noodles is relatively cumbersome and complicated. You need to stir-fry the meat and vegetables first to make a stewed soup, and then shake the noodles into a pot and fry them.

When both sides are golden brown, add the stewed soup and vegetables and simmer over low heat for a few minutes.

Once the soup is absorbed by the noodles, it can be removed from the pot and plated.

This kind of fried noodles tastes great, much better than braised noodles, but it requires too much work on the cook, so it is on the verge of being lost today.

In fact, it is not a lost tradition, there are still many chefs who know it, but no one wants to make this pasta anymore.

Not only is it a waste of time, but the customers are impatient to wait, because those who eat fried noodles are in a hurry. It takes more than ten minutes to get here, and who can wait?

Of course, the most important thing is that it is so laborious to make. If the asking price is low, it is not enough for the chef's salary. But if the asking price is high, there will be no customers to eat.

So I simply switched to cooked noodles bought from a noodle shop, stir-fried and cooked in just over a minute. It’s simple and fast, profits are guaranteed, and customers don’t have to wait long, everything is just right.

Lin Xu is no stranger to fried noodles. This is the specialty of her mother, Chen Meijuan.

In the past, when I came home from school and didn't have time to cook at noon, I would cut some diced meat or scramble a few eggs, then fry the raw noodles and pour in the soup.

Not long after, a lunch of vegetables, meat and staple food was ready.

Although chefs in restaurants think that fried noodles are slow and inefficient, if you cook at home, you can make a delicious and delicious staple food in about ten minutes. This old-fashioned fried noodles really meets the requirements.

Apart from the high requirements for cooking skills, there are no other drawbacks.

To make this dish, you must first make sure that the pan will not stick. Once it sticks to the pan, the side is considered useless.

In addition, you need to know how to flexibly adjust the amount of braised soup according to the amount of noodles. Make sure that after simmering for a few minutes, all the soup in the pot can be absorbed by the crispy noodles.

Fried noodles are different from braised noodles. Braised noodles have more vegetables, they should taste soft, and the vegetables and noodles should be combined.

The fried noodles require a dry and fragrant taste. After the noodles are fried and crispy, they are slightly softened by the marinade, so the noodles still have a burnt feeling in the mouth.

This is exactly the same as the difference between fried pancakes and braised pancakes.

Lin Xu sighed with emotion and took another sip of the egg soup:

"Bring me some later. I haven't had fried noodles in a long time."

"Okay, Master Ji has made four or five kilograms of noodles, which is definitely enough."

Wei Gan gestured with a wok and felt it was too small to fry five kilograms of noodles, so he replaced his usual single-handled wok with a large double-eared wok.

Slide the pan first, then add a little cooking oil to the pan.

Using cooking oil can maximize the flavor of the noodles.

In fact, the most traditional way is to fry some Sichuan peppercorns and a star anise in a pot to bring out the fragrance, then take them out and then stir-fry the meat slices.

However, the stove in the hotel kitchen was too powerful and this step was a bit cumbersome, so I just used cooking oil instead.

When the oil is hot, add the pork belly and stir-fry until both sides are browned. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant.

Then pour a little light soy sauce along the side of the pot, then add a small spoonful of salt and a small spoonful of sugar to give the meat slices a base flavor.

Finally, add the celery and stir-fry. When the stir-fry is almost done, pour a small bowl of stock and four bowls of water into the pot.

There's a lot of noodles today, so I'll need a little more soup.

Pour water into the pot, then add dark soy sauce, thirteen spices and onions, and bring to a boil over low heat.

Ji Minghui asked curiously:

"If you cover the noodles now, will they be braised?"

Ma Zhiqiang nodded:

"Yes, the difference between braised noodles and fried noodles is that in braised noodles, the vegetables are at the bottom and the noodles are on top. The noodles are cooked by the steam of the vegetable soup, so they taste a bit soft, while in fried noodles, the vegetables are at the bottom and the vegetables are on top. The two are completely opposite. .”

After about time the celery and onions in the pot were cooked, Wei Gan took the pot and poured out the vegetables and soup together.

Wash the pot again, put it on the stove, and slide the pot three times to ensure that the noodle pot has been completely moistened. Wei Gan adds a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pot.

After adding it, move the pot to the side of the stove and away from the stove.

Next comes the main event.

Wei Gan shook the noodles scatteredly into the pot.

There were too many noodles, so he could only spread them as much as possible.

After shaking everything off, turn the wok so that the fat in the wok moistens the noodles sticking to the bottom of the wok first.

Although there is moisture in the noodles, it is not much, and it will become mushy again with a little more heat.

So be very careful when frying.

Wei Gan lowered the heat on the stove to the minimum and turned the wok while frying, so that every side of the wok was covered with grease as much as possible to avoid burning it.

In order to prevent the bottom of the pot from being insufficiently greased, he specially scooped a little cooking oil and poured it onto the noodles along the edge of the pot. This would keep the noodles as oily as possible and prevent them from becoming mushy.

Zhu Yong hugged his arms and said:

"Fry it like this. Not to mention the noodles, it will also taste delicious if you put a handful of tree leaves in it."

He was looking forward to this stir-fried noodles more and more.

If it's delicious, even if the store isn't new, Wei Qian can still satisfy his cravings while preparing staff meals.

Zhuang Yizhou asked curiously:

"There's a little too much oil in the pot. Don't you get tired of eating this? In a live broadcast room, a group of people who don't know how to cook will definitely make comments about lethal amounts."

Lin Xu said:

"When the noodles are fried, the excess oil will be poured out, so the texture will not be too greasy."

Not long after, the noodles in the pot had basically collapsed, and this side was basically fried, because when Wei Gan turned the pot, hot oil leached out from the gaps between the noodles.

Start turning over.

For those present, flipping the dough is no problem.

But now the dough in the pot is huge and it’s really hard to turn it over.

Wei Gan grabbed one ear of the wok and shook it back and forth to make sure the noodles were not stuck to the bottom of the pot. Then he pushed forward hard and the noodles in the pot were thrown up.

The dough flipped over in the air and then fell into the pot.

The bottom of the pancake has been fried to a golden brown, and occasionally there is a bit of tangy brown that looks appetizing.

But the scent is very strong.

Lin Xu even smelled the aroma of fried dumplings.

Wei Gan held the pot and continued to fry the noodles below.

Just as Lin Xuda was about to continue reading, Chezi walked in from the outside:

"The boss lady is off work."

oh?

That arrives so fast?

Why don't you come to the kitchen door and call me after get off work?

Lin Xu held the bowl of egg soup and asked as he walked out:

"What is she doing now?"

"Eating your leftover shredded fried pancakes."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?

Is the work of an audit office so hard?

How do you feed a child who is so hungry that he doesn’t even mind the leftovers?

When he came outside, he saw Baobao Shen sitting on his booth, holding a basin filled with shredded fried pancakes and munching on it.

This, this, this...

Is this a determination to become Rutiah?

Just as he was about to say eat slowly, Lu Jiayue's children's shoes held a bowl filled with garlic cloves and lit up:

"Little sister, pick two more garlic cloves!"

"Eat slowly and don't choke. The kitchen is making fried noodles. You can try them later. The taste is definitely not worse than these fried pancakes."

"I don't believe it, unless you bring the noodles over... I feel like you're trying to trick me into eating fried pancakes."

your?

Lin Xu finished the egg soup in the bowl, then picked up the bowl with garlic cloves and walked to the kitchen.

He grabbed a handful of peeled and washed garlic cloves from the vegetable basket, then filled two bowls of egg soup and took them outside on a tray.

"Eat it with the soup. Slow down and don't choke. I'll go to the kitchen to see when the noodles are ready."

"Okay, thank you Xu Bao!"

Back in the kitchen, both sides of the pancake are already fried.

Wei Gan poured the dough into a large colander to control the oil.

When the oil is almost controlled, pour it into the pot again and use chopsticks to gently shake the fried noodles to make the noodles fluffy again.

Then pour the previously cooked vegetables and stew into the pot, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat.

"How long should it be simmered?"

"It only takes three minutes. The noodles are already cooked and they just need to absorb some of the soup."

After Wei Qian finished speaking, he took a few plates and placed them on the workbench behind him. When the noodles are ready, he will put them in directly and let everyone have a taste.

After three minutes, the water in the pot was obviously less, because you could hear the sizzling sound of hot oil in the pot.

Wei Qian turned off the fire but did not lift the lid of the pot.

Instead, he waited another three minutes.

The lid of the pot was lifted, and a rich aroma wafted out from the pot.

The taste is meaty, floury, celery and onion.

The various smells mixed together are indescribably delicious.

"I'll go, this scent is really strong!"

"It doesn't have the smell of raw noodles, but it's super fragrant. Please teach me later, Wei Gan, this is perfect for emergencies at home."

"I'll try it too. It's much more fragrant than the fried noodles sold at ordinary night market stalls."

"Don't shake it off, hurry up, this scent is so alluring!"

Wei Gan stirred the pot twice, intending to use long chopsticks to shake off the red-colored noodles full of grease, but everyone was urging him.

He could only shake it twice in a hurry, and then served it to everyone with chopsticks and spoons.

Pick up a chopstick and turn it, then pick it up, and immediately catch it with a spoon in your left hand.

Shake the noodles into a spoon, then put them on the plate, and a portion of noodles is ready.

As soon as it was put on the plate, Zhu Yong picked it up, picked up a chopstick and tasted it, and immediately praised:

"Oh my god, this noodle has refreshed my understanding of fried noodles. I never thought noodles could be so delicious."

As soon as the noodles enter your mouth, you can taste the unique burnt aroma of fried noodles.

This kind of burnt aroma is not available in braised noodles. The noodles are slightly dry and taste like they have been deep-fried and then re-cooked. They are crispy, burnt and very enjoyable.

As for the bright layer of fat and pork belly on the outside of the noodles, they continue to tantalize everyone's nerves and taste buds.

Delicious, so delicious.

Zhu Yong never thought that fried noodles could be so delicious. It was incredible.

Others tasted it and thought it was delicious.

After everyone's noodles were served, Lin Xu came outside with two portions of fried noodles and saw Baby Shen pulling at the pelvic floor.

Tsk tsk tsk, I just watched people wash their cars and eat fried pancakes, why are you so greedy?

"Come on, come on, try the fried noodles made by Wei Gan."

Putting down the plate, Lin Xu picked up the chopsticks he had used, pinched a garlic clove in his hand, then picked up a chopstick and tasted the noodles.

It tastes really good.

The taste is caramel, salty and delicious, and the celery perfectly offsets the greasiness of the noodles.

Yummy, so delicious.

After Shen Baobao took a bite, he immediately put down the empty basin of fried pancakes and concentrated on eating the fried noodles on the plate.

"This tastes really great. Didn't netizens say they want to add a new staple food? Why not try this one? This fried noodles is much more delicious than ordinary fried noodles. I believe everyone will like it."

Like it?

It tastes really good, but I really don’t know what other customers think.

While he was hesitating, Chen Yan, dressed in a chef's uniform, ran up from the stairs:

"What's the staple food today? Give me one quickly, I have to play the role of the head chef."

Obviously, this is Ren Jie.

My sister-in-law entered the role-playing state again.

Lin Xu pointed in the direction of the kitchen:

"Look to see if the fried noodles prepared by Wei Gan have been distributed. If there are still some, take away a plate... After you take it over, ask me if it tastes good. I am hesitating whether to add new ones in the store."

"Okay, I'll ask you later."

This kind of fried noodles is complex, cumbersome, and takes a long time to cook. It has been almost eliminated because it cannot be sold at a high price in my hometown.

But Lin Ji is not afraid of delicious food. As long as it tastes good, there are too many customers in the store who are willing to pay for a feast.

And after serving this noodle dish, it might even attract a wave of customers who like to eat fried noodles.

Not long after, my sister-in-law sent a message:

"The little policeman said it tasted super good. If the chef in their police canteen had such good skills, he would eat and drink at the workplace without going anywhere."

Hey, this rating is quite high.

In this case, let’s serve the new fried noodles.

Lin Xu knew how to make this noodle dish, but to be on the safe side, he spent 1.5 million points to redeem the perfect recipe of stir-fried noodles from the points mall.

"The host spent 1,500,000 points to exchange for the perfect skill of stir-fried noodles, and triggered the trial task: ask the host to work hard so that more than 300 customers eat fried noodles for two consecutive meals in three days. After completion, the host The skill of cooking fried noodles with perfect level will be permanently acquired. If it is not completed, the skill will be downgraded to excellent level."

With more than three hundred customers, this is really not a low requirement.

If Lao Lin remembers that good food is easy to say, just those few meals, you have to eat them even if you don’t want to eat them.

But now there are so many dishes to choose from. Customers rarely eat one dish and one staple food in a row. Even if they find it delicious, they want to change their taste.

But since it has been redeemed, and it is not like roast chicken, when you start cooking and when you time it.

This fried noodles is already on the clock from now on.

Without further ado, Lin Xu called Dou Wenjing, who did not come for dinner today:

"Sister Jing, the store will prepare a kind of fried noodles at noon tomorrow. Remember to arrange for someone to promote it. I will send you the specific promotion content on WeChat."

"Okay boss, by the way, what's the name of the fried noodles? We can also introduce it to netizens."

What is your name?

The name of this fried noodle dish is raw fried noodles.

But it always sounds like eating raw noodles.

In order to prevent customers from being disgusted by the bad name, Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"Let's call it Hometown Fried Noodles. There are this kind of fried noodles all over North China. Maybe this name can bring back memories of hometown among customers."

Hometown fried noodles?

Dou Wen on the other end of the phone muttered silently, and then said:

"Okay boss, I will arrange for people from the operations department to start preheating at night."

The so-called preheating is actually very simple, just ask some insiders to send a message that a new staple food will be available at noon tomorrow.

These days, the more gossip there is, the more people believe it.

Maybe netizens will start to stir up the excitement even before the big number is released.

Finish talking to Dou Wenjing.

Just as Lin Xugang continued to eat, a system prompt sounded in his mind:

"The host introduces a new staple food, triggering the side mission [Hot New Product]: Ask the host to successfully sell one thousand copies of the new staple food [Hometown Fried Noodles] within three days. Upon completion, the host will be rewarded with a perfect soup - spicy and sour belly. Silk soup.”
