In addition to his love for noodles, Xiao Thu, a programmer, often recalled to me the fried meat cakes he sold at the entrance of the school when he was in high school, and every time he talked about the fried cakes, he couldn't help but smashed his mouth and drooled. Later I asked him with an humbly learning attitude: "What's in that plate of fried pork pancakes?" "Well... it's just big slices of pork, green pepper shreds, and vermicelli!" What? Can you put vermicelli in the fried cake?
After getting married, I have eaten fried pancakes with vermicelli made by my in-laws several times, and I have also specially observed the ingredients used in their fried pancake shreds. First of all, the cake shreds used by my in-laws are not the same as the cake shreds we bought in the market. They are white cake shreds that look like noodle shreds. The taste is relatively more chewy; the garlic moss sprinkled before the pan is a highlight. Because it is crunchy after almost no high temperature, it has the fragrance of garlic itself; the minced leeks marinated with salt, vinegar, and sesame oil are called "tiaohuo" in Thu Sheng's hometown. They usually eat noodles and fried cakes. Basically, it is indispensable; the fragrant shredded pork is fragrant with garlic moss, and the leek tiaohuo is added to relieve the greasiness. After eating a plate of fried cakes, I always feel that I am not full and want to have another plate. But what is the significance of the existence of vermicelli? Doesn’t seem to add any special flavor to the fried cake?
Later, I discussed with Thu Sheng and concluded that the reason why Changzhi area likes to put vermicelli in fried cakes is because they like potatoes and vermicelli. Secondly, it may be that flour is more expensive in difficult times, while vermicelli is relatively cheaper. Adding a handful of vermicelli to the pancakes can save energy for household use and feed your stomach. I don’t know if what we two summed up is correct? Why don't you try my recipe and let's discuss it together?
