Have You Ever Tried the Delicious ‘Liangfen Yu’ Dish from Qiyang, Gansu?

In Qiyang, Gansu Province, every summer, every household makes a delicious dish called 'Liangfen Yu' (Cold Noodles Fish). I used to make it often when I was at home, but I hadn't made it once in the past fifteen years in the south. I saw it on TV yesterday, which aroused my appetite. It's just another way of making cold noodles!

Ingredients: 200g red potato starch, 1000ml water

Instructions: 1. Use 400ml of water to make the red potato starch into a thin paste. 2. In a separate pot, pour the remaining 600ml of water and bring to a boil. 3. Stir the potato starch water again, pour it into the boiling water, and stir quickly with a spoon until the starch water becomes transparent and cooked through. 4. Place a steaming basket (preferably a large one), with a basin below, pour cold water into the basin, place the steaming basket on the basin, and pour the cold noodles into the steaming basket. Stir the cold noodle paste, and it will naturally fall into the basin below, forming a shape like a small fish. 5. Pat the 'fish' dry with a sieve. 6. Cut the cucumber into strips, pound garlic into a paste, mix with oil, soy sauce, and vinegar. 7. 'Sour and Spicy Liangfen Yu' Cucumber, scallions, chili peppers Dry Liangfen Yu is fresh and flavorful Cucumber and Liangfen in love Hot oil with chili peppers and garlic paste Soy sauce, vinegar, a little bit Clear soup Liangfen Yu swims in the water One drop of oil Sold on the streets and markets Eat a bowl at the market Sour and spicy fermented white radishes Today, I'm making Liangfen Yu soup A bowl of fish is placed on the table Like tadpoles looking for their mothers Sour and spicy flavor is also good Fresh and refreshing, endless flavors A whole bowl of fish is served Green peppers and scallions for decoration Tomato and egg cooked in soup Place the fish in the soup The fish swims in the water Water drips from your mouth Tomato and egg cooked in soup Place the fish in the soup Fragrant and enticing, captivating hearts Soft, tender, and unforgettable Cucumber sliced, floating on water Red oil chili peppers with vinegar Pickled peppers and sauerkraut eaten together Like a beautiful woman and a hero The fish is delicious and full of flavor A single bite intoxicates you for three days
