Pasta is the staple food that most northerners like to eat. Generally, when we cook noodles, we put them in boiling water. There is a certain difference between pasta and the pasta in our country. Some people don’t know whether to use cold water or boiling water when cooking pasta. In fact, our own pasta is essentially the same. Pasta is also put into boiling water and cooked with boiling water. Pasta is not easy to cook, so everyone must pay special attention when cooking. Is pasta cooked in cold water?Boil in boiling water for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking to the pot. During this period, add a small amount of cold water twice to prevent the noodles from being too cooked on the outside but not yet cooked on the inside. Put the noodles into cold water (preferably ice water) immediately after taking them out of the pot. This is called "passing through the cold river". Only after this treatment will the noodles become smooth. Next, you can stir-fry or stew it as you like. How to cook delicious pasta 1. Cooking pasta is the same as cooking Chinese dumplings. You need a lot of water, so the pot used to cook the pasta should also be bigger. 2. Generally, 2.5 liters (10 cups) of water are needed to cook 200g (about two people, a boy and a girl) of pasta. 3. First, put water into the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. 4. Add salt, the amount is 1% of the water, so if there is 2.5 liters of water, you need to add 25g (about 5 teaspoons) of salt. (Adding salt when cooking pasta can quickly tighten the surface of the noodles, so that it is not easy to overcook and lose its chewiness. The noodles will also have a salty taste that can be coordinated with the subsequent sauce.) Although the amount of salt seems to be a lot, sufficient salt is very important for cooking pasta. 5. Once the salt is completely dissolved, add the pasta to the pot. If you are cooking long pasta, spread them radially in the pot. Is the pasta cooked in cold water? Should I cook pasta in cold or hot water? 6. When all the noodles sink, stir them from the bottom of the pot to prevent them from sticking together. (Remember not to cover the pot) 7. Determine the cooking time of the pasta according to the cooking time marked on the pasta packaging. 8. When the time is up, test the softness of the pasta. Take a piece of noodles out of the pot and break it with your fingers. If you can see a white core in the middle of the cross section, it means the noodles are cooked. 9. Once you determine that the noodles are cooked, take them out of the pot immediately. Pour the noodles into the prepared strainer. 10. If you are cooking cold pasta, immediately pour the strained pasta into the prepared ice water. After the noodles cool down, filter them through a strainer. Tips for cooking pasta When cooking the noodles, be sure to add salt and olive oil in advance to make them easier to flavor and prevent the noodles from sticking. Then take out the water to keep the taste chewy, add oil and stir to prevent the noodles from sticking when preparing the sauce. The prepared sauce can be poured directly on the noodles or mixed in the pot according to your preference. |
