Tips for steaming Liangpi

In our lives, many people like to eat cold noodles, especially when summer comes. The hot weather makes people not want to eat, let alone cook, because the temperature in the kitchen is very high when cooking, which will make people sweat, and hot dishes cannot be swallowed. At this time, a plate of cucumber cold noodles is really the best choice. So what are the tips when making cold noodles?

Tips for making Liangpi

1. Before pouring the thick batter into the flat plate, it is best to brush a thin layer of oil on it to make it easier to take out the whole piece of cold skin.

2. Take out the cold skin as soon as it becomes transparent. Steaming it for too long will make it too hard.

How to make Liangpi

1. Knead ordinary flour into dough, put it in a bowl, add appropriate amount of water, start washing gluten, and knead the dough continuously in the water. When the batter in the container becomes thick, filter it into another bowl with a strainer.

2. Repeat, repeat, and repeat again until only a yellow piece of stuff is left, which is the gluten. Put it in the steamer and steam it for 20 minutes. Let it cool and then slice it for later use.

3. Then wait for the batter to settle. It usually takes more than 2-3 hours for the batter to separate into layers. Pour out the clear water on the top layer and leave the batter at the bottom for steaming.

4. Turn on the fire and boil a pot of water. Prepare a special mold for steaming cold skin or use a larger iron basin at home. Brush a little oil and pour a spoonful of batter into it. The amount of batter is up to the individual. If you like thicker cold skin, scoop more, otherwise scoop less. Evenly shake the batter in the mold so that the bottom of the mold is evenly covered with batter. Then put the model into the pot of boiling water and cover the pot with a lid. Keep the fire on high all the time and steam for about 2-3 minutes. When the cold skin turns transparent, you can take it out immediately. Steaming it for too long will make it too hard.

5. Prepare a basin with cold water and place the mold or small iron basin in it to float. You can also turn the mold upside down and rinse the bottom of it with cold water.

It’s better to wait until the cold skin is completely cool, brush some oil on the surface, then slowly peel it off and cut it into strips according to your preference.
