If you have been to Hunan, you will find. Besides the spicy dishes that foodies love to talk about, there are rice noodles all over the streets and alleys. However, the Hunan rice noodles I imagined in Zhengzhou are mostly round and plump, and it's rare to see other shapes, but I recently discovered that this bowl of rice noodles is actually quite different
Flat, white, at first glance it looks a bit like the noodles we usually eat. The master told me that in Hunan, rice noodles are divided into two schools: one with round noodles, the main school of Changde, and the other with sliced noodles, the main school of Changsha. Compared to round noodles, this flat and wide sliced noodles can better absorb the flavor of the broth
The importance of rice noodles to Hunan people is similar to that of hot dry noodles for people in Henan. But unlike hot dry noodles, in Hunan, you can eat rice noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although rice noodles were not often used as breakfast in Zhengzhou, after office workers in the surrounding areas tried it for lunch, they became fans without hesitation
To taste the authentic flavor of Hunan rice noodles, you also need to focus on the ingredients. Unlike most rice noodle shops that use instant noodles, the sliced noodles used in the shop are fresh noodles. Fresh noodles are soft and chewy, with some elasticity, and feel a bit like Vietnamese rice noodles when touched. After cooking in broth, they have a better texture than soaked noodles
It's also because of the delicious rice noodles that foodies can quickly be 'planted'. Common dishes such as winter fungus and bean sprouts, sour and spicy bamboo shoots, sour fermented bean curd with pork, and meat sauce with beef cubes, there are more than thirteen kinds of choices, which is quite high
The ingredients in the shop are all made fresh, and the most popular with foodies is this meat sauce made with five-spice pork. When making it, it's not just slicing and braising pork slices. The master told me that to taste the meat sauce, you also need to separate the pork slices into layers
The broth used to cook rice noodles is not simple, it starts at 6:30-7:00 every morning, using dozens of kilograms of pork bones combined with various spices, and simmering for more than two hours until the marrow of the pork bones is completely squeezed out, and the broth becomes rich and fragrant, then this pot of broth is considered a successful completion
Grab a handful of sliced noodles, cook them for a few tens of seconds, take them out and put them in the bowl, pour a spoonful of broth over them, and then add ingredients, and it's complete. Sour and spicy rice noodles use crispy bamboo shoots and pickled bamboo shoots, which are sour and crunchy
Hunan people's love for spicy food is also reflected here. Common dishes such as braised pig trotters have chili peppers from Hunan added during the process, making them spicy
Combine with a bowl of rice noodles, you will be satisfied
