Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles

1. The main ingredients are ready: high-gluten flour, sesame paste, garlic, cold water; the home noodle machine I use, the authentic hot dry noodles use alkaline water, we don’t have it, and we can’t make it. Use a noodle machine to press the noodles. The amount of water for rolling the noodles is small, and the noodles are firm.

2. Take two flat cups of flour for 4 people. The cup comes with the noodle maker. One flat cup is 200 grams of flour; either high-gluten flour or all-purpose flour can be used.

3. Put the flour into the kneading bucket, turn on the electricity, and select the "hand-rolling" program; first stir the flour.

4. Then put a water cup containing 140 grams of cold water on the top cover, and the water leaked from the small hole. With stirring, the flour gradually turned into noodles.

5. While the machine is kneading the dough, let's deal with the small ingredients: stir or chop garlic, and eat more garlic to make it more fragrant.

6. Pour a little sesame oil into the sesame sauce to increase the oiliness, then pour 30 grams of light soy sauce and 10 grams of soy sauce to increase the freshness of the light soy sauce and the color of the soy sauce, while also increasing the saltiness and flavor.

7. Stir slowly with a small spoon, add cold boiled water or purified water one by one in the middle. The adjusted sesame paste is as thick as yogurt; when the consistency is right, you can taste the saltiness and add an appropriate amount of salt, stir to melt, and set aside for later use; You want to eat noodles, so it can be slightly salty.

8. The sour cowpeas we soaked in my own house are raw and pickled, so we blanch them in hot water for 20 seconds and cut them into small cubes for later use. The capers are a must-have for Wuhan's hot dried noodles. Try to lean on authenticity.

9. After a few minutes, the noodles were automatically pressed out.

10. The dough becomes noodles, smooth and firm; you can cut it to your favorite length with scissors; it’s best to eat these noodles at one meal. If you can’t eat them, you can put the fresh noodles in a fresh-keeping bag and store them in the refrigerator. There is no need to thaw before cooking, just put in the pot directly.

11. Boil a pot of water, put a proper amount of noodles into the pot after the water is boiled, boil the water again, boil for a few rolls and it will be fully cooked; the authentic hot dry noodles are boiled in alkaline water until 8 is mature and removed, and poured in a proper amount of sesame oil. Sticky, put it in hot water again before eating; the latter method noodles are chewy and dry, and it is also suitable for opening a store; if you like soft, you can cook it at one time.

12. Put the noodles into a bowl, pour an appropriate amount of sesame sauce on the noodles, stir briskly with chopsticks, so that each noodle is dipped in the sesame sauce; because the noodles are fully cooked and just out of the pan, the sesame sauce will quickly adhere to The noodles are served, so there is no need to add hot noodle soup.

13. Sprinkle with minced garlic, capers, chives, chili oil, white sesame seeds, and eat while mixing, it's so fragrant!

14. Wuhan hot dry noodles, Q bombs, smooth, dry and fragrant!
