How to make Jiangshui noodles

When you have to continue working despite dragging your tired body, do you yearn for the food street on the roadside? In fact, it is unhygienic to eat on the roadside. You might as well learn to cook it yourself. Now, let me show you how to make jiangshui noodles.

1. Take only the clear part of the noodle soup from the boiled noodles, let it warm but not cool, and pour it into a ceramic container (preferably ceramic, not other plastic bowls or something like that).

2.12 Wash the celery and throw it into the warm noodle soup, add vinegar as a starter

3.21 Put the pottery in a cool place, cover it with a lid, but don't cover it too tightly, then wait, stir it with clean chopsticks every day, it will be ready in about 3-5 days

4. If a white layer appears on the surface, it means that the pulp has failed and cannot be eaten.

5. When you make rice water in the future, you can use your previous rice water as a primer, and you don’t need to use vinegar anymore.

6. Put oil in a wok, pour in chili peppers after the oil is hot (the amount depends on personal ability), quickly stir-fry the chili peppers (be careful not to burn them), then pour in the starch water, stir-fry until cooked, add salt after boiling and set aside. (Don’t add vinegar to the rice water, otherwise it will taste astringent and affect the original flavor of the rice water.)

7. Prepare side dishes: People in Guanzhong usually serve it with fried leeks. You can also choose other dishes, but leeks have always been favored by people in Guanzhong because of their unique aroma and the combination with the rice water.

8. Boil noodles, handmade wide noodles, or dough sheets. It is best not to use thin noodles or dried noodles instead, otherwise you will not be able to experience the smooth taste of the noodles. When the noodles are cooked in a separate pot, put them into the soup and serve in bowls.

Maybe you have eaten many versions of jiangshui noodles, but you certainly can’t imagine what it would taste like if you made it yourself? To satisfy your curiosity, you can really try it yourself.
