Chapter 236 Authentic AH board in SJZ
Ma Xiaoliang was very happy when he heard that Zhao Cui agreed to buy donkey meat and burn it. This was much more enjoyable than buying steamed buns with meat!But what Ma Xiaoliang didn't know was that for Zhao Cui, who grew up in Jiangbei, burning donkey meat was as common as pancakes and fruits, and it was nothing more than eating without peppers, not to mention that Zhao Cui didn't eat meat, but pork!

As for Ban Mian, it has been eaten since childhood, just like people in Hubei eat hot dry noodles, people in Jiangnan eat braised noodles, and people in Shanxi eat knife-shaped noodles!But no one expected that the pan noodles from AH would suddenly become the most authentic gourmet specialty in SJZ, the capital of Jiangbei Province, even more popular than the local AH!Ma Xiaoliang is like most people. Why haven’t many AH people heard of the delicacy Pan Mee when I went to AH on a business trip?Could it be that the AH deck that is so popular in SJZ is actually a fake AH specialty?In fact, it is recognized that AH Ban Mian originated from Taihe County, AH Province, a small county located in the northwest of AH Province and affiliated with Fuyang!The wheat produced here is strong and elastic, and the noodles produced are delicious and elastic!
According to legend in Taihe County, Ban Mian originated from the Three Kingdoms and is related to Zhang Fei of the Shu Han Dynasty. Everyone knew that Xiang Fei was very impatient. Once he came back from a war and was too hungry. He thought the chef was too slow to cook, so he grabbed the newly made noodles and threw them in. In the pot, I never expected that the noodles would be delicious and chewy, so it was improved by chefs from generation to generation, and finally formed the unique Ban Mian!The owner of the Ban Mian shop first makes the dough into small noodle sticks eight centimeters long and two centimeters wide, then coats them with sesame oil, places them on the table, and covers them with a clean wet towel for storage.When someone orders food, he picks up the prepared small noodle stick and slams it on the table with both hands. Repeat this several times, and the noodle stick becomes thicker and thinner, becoming a chewy and elastic dough piece - " This is where the name "Pan Mian" comes from.

But if you go to AH Taihe County, you won’t be able to eat SJZ’s specialty “AH Beef Pan Mian” because the locals in Taihe only eat mutton pan noodles.And the noodles themselves are not just the essence of Pan Mee. The real essence of Pan Mee lies in the soup and the chili in the soup.Heat the mutton oil in a pot, add peppercorns, cinnamon and other spices and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. When the spices are fully flavored, take them out with a slotted spoon.Continue to heat the oil in the pot at a low temperature, add the dried red peppers, and fry until slightly mushy. When the oil gradually turns black, add the chopped mutton pieces, switch to low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, and finally add in The seasonings are used to make the soup. The cooked soup is dark red in color, with the aroma of mutton, pepper, and more than twenty kinds of condiments. Taste a little, and it is fragrant, salty, and spicy. People can’t stop, the more they taste, the more they want to taste it, and chili is the soul of AH Pan Mee. If the chili is absent, Pan Mee will become bland and flavorless.Red mutton oil spicy coriander, a few slices of green vegetables, a braised egg, a braised sausage, take a bite, the hot taste drifts from the lips to the bottom of the stomach, and you can't help but sigh: The best taste in the world is dull. noodle!Especially for Ma Xiaoliang, who first came to Shunde to study, having a hot plate of noodles in the bone-chilling winter is an extremely warm memory. Since Shunde is close to SJZ, especially after changing mutton to beef, large pieces of beef Ma Xiaoliang misses it so much. Anyway, it is much more enjoyable than instant noodles (braised beef). Whenever I pass by SJZ, I will definitely try a plate of pan noodles, paired with donkey meat on fire, and a bottle of pineapple beer. It is a rare pleasure!
