Noodle production has a long history, and there are different methods and flavors in different parts of China. In many places, noodling has become one of the local traditional dishes. Tianz Noodle Co., Ltd will introduce the production process and its characteristics: noodle production is a traditional Chinese noodle making technique. It is flour as the main raw material, through a special production process and hand-drawn noodles.
The production process of hanging noodles can be divided into seven steps: sifting flour, mixing noodles, rolling strips, ramen, hanging dry, cooking, bagging and so on.
One: Sifting flour
The most important thing in the production of noodles is the choice of flour. Generally choose high gluten flour with viscosity and toughness, such as corn flour, wheat flour and so on. After selecting the good flour, it is necessary to sift the flour to clean up impurities and excessive suspended matter in the flour.
Two: Mix noodles
After sifting the flour, you need to mix the flour and water together to form an even, soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. It should be noted that the process of mixing and surface needs to gradually add water and stir evenly to fully absorb water. Let the dough sit for 15 to 30 minutes to absorb the moisture.
Three: Rub the strip
When the dough is sufficiently fermented, it is divided into suitable sizes and kneaded into long strips (also known as kneading strips), each of which is kneaded to the same size, length and thickness.
Four: Ramen
Ramen is the core step in making noodles. In the process of ramen, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the pulled facade, as well as the coordination and long shape of the noodles. The ramen process requires a certain amount of strength and skill, and it needs to be pulled by hand.
Five: Hang dry
The noodles need to be hung dry, and the noodles are hung in a cool place to dry, and the general hanging time is about 3 to 5 hours.
Six: Cook
After the noodles are dried, cook them in hot water. The time is usually 2-3 minutes. Here you need to pay attention to the temperature and time to master, otherwise the noodles will become too soft or hard.
Seven: Bagging
The cooked noodles need to be cooled and dried before they can be bagged. In addition to bags, noodles can also be pickled by adding vegetables, meat and other ingredients according to taste.
Noodle is one of the Chinese pasta dishes, which is characterized by high protein and carbohydrates, but also a certain amount of vitamin B and fiber. Compared with other noodles, it is more elastic and rich in texture, and it is easy to cook. Everywhere, noodles are often the choice of family snacks and specialty meals.
To sum up, hanging noodles is an ancient and traditional Chinese characteristic pasta, which is made of high gluten flour by blending, rolling, ramen, hanging dry, cooking and other production techniques. During the production process, it is necessary to pull by hand, as well as add different ingredients to marinate according to different tastes and preferences. Modern noodle production process has also added some new technology and equipment, such as noodle machine, noodle machine, etc., but the quality and taste of noodles still need hand-drawn skills and traditional recipes.
