  • Sichuan cold noodles Make Tips

    Characteristics of cold noodles: oily color, attractive aroma, rich ingredients, spicy and delicious. Warm tips: 1. It is better to use fine egg noodles to make this dough. It is better to roll it yourself. The method is to add an egg and 1 gram of edible alkali to 1 pound of flour, mix with 200 ml of water to form a hard dough, and soak for 20 minutes., then roll the skin and shred it. You can use both boiling and steaming methods. Boil the noodles to 80% cooked, then remove them and mix them with scallion oil, and quickly cool them. The method is to pick them up and forth with chopsticks to dissipate heat, and use an electric fan to blow it better if possible. Cold water is not recommended. 2. Don't put too much star anise in the secret sauce, as long as it can enhance the flavor. If you put too much, the taste is too strong, but it will not be beautiful. When you use 50 grams of sesame paste, you only need to put up a quarter of a grain of fried star anise. Just put one star anise in 500 grams of sesame paste. I fried one and only broke a little bit and used it. You can also put 10 grams of mustard sauce into the secret sauce, or use 3 grams of mustard oil instead. It will taste better, but you can't put too much. 3. Repeat again, the amount of ingredients used to make the "secret sauce" is: the ratio of sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar and vinegar is 2+2+2+3, that is, 50 grams of sesame paste is used to prepare it, and 20 grams of sesame oil, 20 grams of soy sauce, 20 grams of white sugar and 30 grams of balsamic vinegar can be added. Others can be added according to your preferences. This home-made authentic "Sichuan cold noodles" made by Da Chao Shao is ready. It tastes spicy, delicious, and very authentic!
