Tips:
1. Cold noodles I personally like general wide noodles. Cold noodles are tender and satisfying. It is better to choose alkaline noodles if it is convenient (some people call it water noodles, which are generally sold in supermarkets)
2. The noodles used for cold noodles should not be cooked too soft, as the taste will not be so strong. Boil the noodles with cold water to shrink the noodles and tighten them.
3. Wrap the surface with oil, one is to increase the fragrance, and the other is to make the surface stand without sticky or lumpy.
4. Blow dry the water a little bit, and it can be stored for a long time without sticky or lumpy. The cold noodles bought outside will go through this step. If you don’t have to leave it for too long, you don’t need to dry the water.
5. The noodles and side dishes I prepare are for two people. It is one person to put the seasoning demonstration.
