Putian seafood noodles
Putian braised noodles originated in China, and "soup cakes" appeared before the Han Dynasty. The "soup cake" is actually a kind of "slices soup". When making, it holds the dough with one hand and tears the slices into the soup pot with the other. By the Northern Wei Dynasty (486-534 AD), soup cakes were no longer held by hand, but using tools such as chopping boards, sticks, knives, etc. to roll out the dough thin and then cut it into thin strips. This was the earliest noodles. By the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), people hung up the cut noodles to dry for easy preservation and consumption at any time. So the earliest noodles were born.
Why Putian braised noodles can arouse the appetite of so many people? This certainly has its unique secret. Putian's unique method of stewing noodles. The key to Putian braising noodles lies in gluten, broth and ingredients. Preparations usually start the night before. Gluten is of course the first process to pay attention to. Unlike ramen in the west of the mountain, where the dough is drawn into fine flour on site. This noodle needs to be processed with different flours in proportion. The dough produced must be tough and will not be easy to paste after being put into the pot. Boiling stock is also an important procedure. Select the best bone segments in pig bones. The stock produced should be white and fragrant. How much water is added to each stock should be fixed. It will not work if it is thick or thin. Then there is the ingredients. After all the previous processes of lean meat, mushrooms, dried shrimps, scallops, and oysters are ready, it is the fire. The reason why the stewed noodles are called stewed noodles is because they are slowly stewed on slow fire.
