Can I make it immediately after adding alkali to the old noodles?

No, you have to knead the alkali evenly.

There are two ways to put alkali on the old face:

1, put it directly. If the noodles feel soft, put it directly on the noodles, but you must knead the alkali evenly into the noodles, so that the pasta is delicious.

2. Put the alkaline noodles into the water and put them evenly. If the old noodles feel hard, put them on the surface of alkaline water and knead them evenly. Both methods can be used, and the spaghetti effect is the same.

The dosage of alkali for old flour: generally speaking, 500 grams of flour and 5 grams of soda ash. However, it is still necessary to prevent the phenomenon of "alkali running" according to the seasonal temperature. In winter, the dough fermentation is not in place, and 500 grams of dough is almost 4 grams of soda ash. In summer, dough fermentation is normal, rapid and full. 500 grams of dough, at least 6.5 grams of alkali. In spring and autumn, about 5 grams of soda ash is added to 500 grams of hair flour.

Principle of adding alkali to old noodles

The amount of alkali added depends on the degree of dough fermentation. Fermentation "situation" is big, and soda ash is used much; On the contrary, use less soda ash. When using alkali, you'd better weigh it to ensure safety.

The amount of alkali varies according to the degree of fermentation and seasonal changes. In summer and autumn, the temperature is relatively high, the dough is fermented quickly and the effect is good. It seems that adding alkali is appropriate, but in a certain period of time, alkali will be lost, which is often called "alkali running" phenomenon. Therefore, when using soda ash, we should consider this problem and increase the dosage of soda ash accordingly.
