Liangpi is a snack that many people love. You can always see Liangpi in the hot summer. It is easy to get angry in the summer, and the appetite will also be affected. It is naturally very pleasant to have a bowl of Liangpi at this time. So it seems irresponsible to our health to always eat cold noodles outside. In fact, we can make cold noodles ourselves at home, but many people report that homemade cold noodles are sticky and easy to crack. What is the reason for this? What skills should we master to make homemade cold noodles? 1. The homemade cold skin is sticky . I made the noodles yesterday afternoon and the gluten was very successful. I was full of confidence. However, the process of steaming the cold skin this morning made me experience all kinds of frustrations. I first put it on the water surface with a stainless steel basin. It should be because it was not stable in the water and the cover was not tight. I didn’t see any bubbles at all, and there were various cracks. I also tried adding water, salt, thin, thick, but I couldn’t peel it off and it all broke. Then I changed the lid of a cookie tin box and put it on the steamer. Although the container was smaller, it didn't crack and could be peeled off. However, the cold skin was white and sticky, and it had no chewiness at all. Suddenly I thought that this was thinner than the pot, so it must have been steamed for too long. I steamed it for about five minutes, so I tried to open the lid after another two minutes. I was so excited because I finally saw the legendary big bubbles! ! ! After cooling, no matter how thin it is, it is easy to open and the taste is just right! ! ! 2. The reason why the cold skin is sticky is that you need to brush a layer of oil on the plate before steaming the cold skin. The reason why the cold noodles are too hard and break easily may be that the water content is too low. The effect of making cold noodles with pure starch or mung bean powder will be better. 3. Tips for making cold noodles 1. Selection of flour To make homemade cold noodles, you should use high-gluten flour without flour improvers. The cold noodles made with this kind of flour have the chewiest texture. Low-gluten flour or flour containing improvers are not easy to use. 2. Kneading the dough and washing the gluten are the key to making the cold skin transparent and not dry and hard. The key point is to wash the gluten. Be sure to wash out the gluten in the flour completely. If there is protein in the final batter water, the cold skin made will not be transparent, and the skin will be brittle and easy to dry and hard. In order to clean the gluten thoroughly, we can use a combination of the following methods: (1) Add 1 gram of fine salt to every 100 grams of dry flour and mix well, because salt can make the dough more chewy and can wash out more gluten. (2) Using warm water to knead dough is conducive to the formation of gluten. The amount of warm water used is about half of the flour, calculated by weight. (3) After kneading the dough, knead it several times. The smoother it is, the more conducive it is to the formation of gluten. After kneading, let it rise for another 30 minutes. 3. The second key point to make the cold noodle transparent is the treatment of the batter water. The batter water must be fully settled overnight, and the upper layer of clear water must be poured out as completely as possible to ensure the purity of the lower layer of starch paste, thereby making cold noodle with high transparency. Alternatively, you can put some gluten strengthener, rubber bands, or borax into the batter. We guarantee that the cold noodles are chewy and delicious. 4. The concentration of starch paste can be measured by a densimeter. If the concentration of the paste is 17-18 boer, it is the best. The cold skin made with this concentration is the most chewy. 5. Filter the starch paste. It is best to filter the starch paste with a strainer to remove the residue and impurities. This will make the cold skin more perfect. 6. Detailed processing of salad oil: Brush a layer of salad oil on each piece of cold skin after steaming it, and cover the cold skin with a wet cloth. This can prevent the cold skin from sticking to each other and losing water and cracking. Remember to cover the lid when steaming the dough. If not, the cold skin will become dry and hard. |
