Mushroom and dried bean paste noodles
I have been to Anhui on business in the past two years. After finishing the matter, I squeezed the time to go to Jiuhua Mountain. I need to browse a famous mountain whenever I visit it. It is a real enjoyment to be among the wonders and beauty of the mountains!

What made me even happier that time was that I tasted the whole vegetarian house in the ancient temple. One of them is pasta, which is actually fried noodles. It tastes like meat but not meat. It tastes so beautiful!

In the temple, we dare not casually mention meat and fishy things. We must respect the temple rules. Most of the vegetarian dishes served that time tasted great! Some dishes really taste similar to meat. In fact, they are all made with gluten, soy products, and mushrooms, which opened my eyes!

After eating the plain noodles, I asked the steward in the temple and found that it was made with mushrooms and dried tofu. It really tasted like meat in my mouth.

At present, it is hot summer, so Da Chao Shao uses mushrooms and dried bean curd to make this "mushroom dried bean paste noodles" to relive the special taste again.

  • Mushroom and dried bean paste noodles Make Tips

    Features: Purple-red color, rich and mellow sauce aroma, savory and fresh taste, slightly sweet flavor, meticulous ingredient combination, and rich nutrition. Friendly Reminder: 1. When stir-frying mushrooms, be sure to evaporate some of the moisture. It is best to stir-fry them over high heat until they turn slightly yellow, so the aroma can be released. 2. You can choose either diluted yellow bean paste or sweet bean sauce; if using sweet bean sauce, there is no need to add sugar. However, personally, I feel the yellow bean paste tastes a bit better than the sweet bean sauce. 3. When frying the sauce, be sure to fry it until the fragrance is released and the raw taste of the paste is completely gone, so it tastes richer. Therefore, the sauce must be fried sufficiently. 4. This type of fried sauce is for Buddhist vegetarian noodles, so there is no need to add seasonings like green onion, ginger, garlic, MSG, or chicken powder. The preparation mainly relies on heat control; as long as the sauce is stir-fried until fragrant, the flavor will be rich enough. Adding star anise, sugar, and soy sauce is sufficient.
