Buckwheat flour ear cover
Speaking of snacks in my hometown, what I can't help but talk about is the extremely delicious buckwheat noodle ear covers. Every time I go home, I have to find a restaurant to sit down and taste a good plate. Otherwise, I always feel that there is something missing.
The ear cover is named because its finished product resembles the ear cover used by northerners to keep their ears warm in winter.
There are many ways to eat ear covers. You can eat them directly dipped in garlic and spicy sauce after cooking. You can add mutton whistles, or you can stir-fry them. Today, I will introduce a simple stir-fried and eating buckwheat noodles ear cover.

Buckwheat protein is rich in lysine, trace elements such as iron, manganese, and zinc are richer than ordinary grains, and is rich in dietary fiber, 10 times that of ordinary refined rice. Therefore, buckwheat has a good nutritional and health care effect.
Buckwheat is rich in vitamin E and soluble dietary fiber. It also contains niacin and rutin (rutin). Rutin has the effect of lowering human blood lipids and cholesterol, softening blood vessels, protecting vision and preventing cerebral vascular hemorrhage. The niacin component it contains can promote the body's metabolism, enhance detoxification ability, and also has the effect of dilating small blood vessels and lowering blood cholesterol. Buckwheat is rich in magnesium, which can promote the dissolution of human fibrin, dilate blood vessels, inhibit the formation of blood clots, has anti-embolic effects, and is also conducive to lowering serum cholesterol.
Certain flavonoids in buckwheat also have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, antiasthmatic, and expectorant effects. Therefore, buckwheat is also known as "anti-inflammatory food". In addition, these ingredients also have the effect of lowering blood sugar. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that buckwheat has a sweet and flat nature and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, appetizing and broadening the intestines, and promoting digestion and resolving stagnation.

However, it should be noted that you should not eat too much buckwheat at one time, otherwise it may easily cause indigestion. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, poor digestive function, and frequent diarrhea should not eat it.

  • Buckwheat flour ear cover Make Tips

    1. Pure soba flour has a rough taste and poor gluten. Adding a small amount of wheat flour can not only improve the taste, but also improve the gluten of the flour. 2. It is recommended not to make the ear covers too big, because the soba noodles are difficult to digest. If the ear covers are too big, it will be difficult to cook and soften, and it will be difficult to digest when eaten. 3. Don't eat too much buckwheat at one time, otherwise it may cause indigestion. 4. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, poor digestive function, and frequent diarrhea should not eat it.
