  • Hand-rolled noodles with bean paste Make Tips

    Features: Rich sauce aroma, smooth and flavorful texture, chewy noodles, diverse toppings, suitable for all seasons, and comprehensive nutrition. Tips: 1. For the noodles, you can use hand-rolled noodles or make pulled noodles. When making pulled noodles, you do not need to add eggs; simply add 1 gram of salt and 0.5 grams of edible alkali when kneading the dough. The dough should be kneaded to be relatively soft. After kneading, let the dough rest for about 1 hour, then work the dough several times to ensure it does not break when being pulled. 2. The toppings can be paired freely according to the season; for example, Xinli Mei radish, green garlic, celery, bean sprouts, and hyacinth beans can all be used as toppings. This time, since Xinli Mei water radishes were not available in Beijing during the summer, I used shredded carrots as a substitute. 3. When making the fried sauce, you must use the frying method. The sauce must be fried until fragrant before adding water to simmer and reduce; otherwise, it cannot be called "Zha Jiang" (Fried Sauce). During the simmering stage, use low heat and slow-cook for a sufficient amount of time. When the sauce is finished, it should be bright red in color and rich in sauce aroma. It only meets the standard when the meat is tender and the sauce is fragrant; that is the authentic way to make Old Beijing Fried Sauce Noodles.
