Why can rice noodles become a specialty of Jiangxi?

As a land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiangxi is rich in rice, and rice noodles made of rice are also very popular. For example, Nanchang fried powder, Fuzhou soaked powder, lead mountain spicy powder, Magu rice noodles and so on. Today, let's walk into the world of rice noodles.

First, the origin of rice noodles

The production of rice noodles has a history of more than two thousand years. The invention of rice noodles has nothing to do with eating goods, but with the ancient war. According to folklore, Qin Shihuang sent troops south to unify China. Qin Jun, a native of Shaanxi, used to eat noodles, while the south is rich in rice instead of wheat. Qin Jun has difficulties in transporting grain and grass. As a newcomer, he is not used to rice and plain rice, and his combat effectiveness is greatly affected. The generals ordered the chefs to try to solve the problem. So the chefs imitated the milling process, boiled rice into rice flour, steamed it and rubbed it into strips, which became the earliest rice flour in the history of China.

Second, the production of rice noodles

1. Traditional handwork

At first, rice noodles were made by hand, and there was a strict working procedure. The method comprises the following steps: soaking rice, grinding rice with graphite, filtering, bagging and grouting, kneading into dough, cooking in a pot, breaking a mortar, kneading into dough, pressing the dough in an iron powder cylinder, pressing out vermicelli through holes in an iron bottom plate, boiling in a pool pot, taking out, cooling in a cold water cylinder, and finally taking out for later use.

Fourth, homemade powder mixing.

1. Jiangxi rice noodles are boiled directly in hot water. After boiling more water, turn to medium heat and cook slowly. After about 10 minutes, the rice noodles turned white. After the chopsticks are broken, you can take out the rice noodles to cool and then drain them for later use.

2. Mix the ingredients, put a little oil in the pot, and saute shallots, ginger, minced garlic and dried peppers until fragrant; Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and add some salt. This is mixed juice, and the taste can be slightly salty; Then add 1 spoonful of Chili powder and 2 spoonfuls of water to burn the switch fire; Finally, the mixed juice is poured into a bowl for cooling;

3. Finally, cover the bowl with dried radish and fried peanuts, drop a few drops of sesame oil, stir well and sprinkle with chopped green onion.

Of course, a good bowl of mixed powder can't be separated from good raw materials. In addition to fine ingredients, it is also necessary to choose the right rice flour. Especially if you want to make authentic Jiangxi mixed powder, you need to choose authentic Jiangxi rice noodles.
