stewed noodles!
Knife-Cut Noodles!
Beef Noodles!
Small Noodles!
Hot Dry Noodles!
These are all famous noodle dishes in the Celestial Dynasty.
Therefore, the taste of stewed noodles is naturally beyond doubt, but the other types of noodles are very well-known and have even gone abroad.
Only stewed noodles leave a relatively shallow impression on people, perhaps because its preparation method does not have a nearly uniform manufacturing standard like Lanzhou Beef Noodles.
But!
No matter what.
For people who have been busy all day.
A bowl of rich and fragrant stewed noodles is the most cherished!
...
To make stewed noodles.
First, you need to knead the dough to make the stewed noodle base.
The requirements for stewed noodles are even higher; if it's too soft, it will be difficult to shape, but if it's too hard, it will be difficult to pull apart after resting!
As the ancients said: those good at painting are often skilled in calligraphy, and excellent stewed noodle Chefs are equally remarkable; not only are they adept at noodle dishes, but they are also skilled in cold dishes, frying, stir-frying, and other techniques, truly all-rounders.
First.
Add an appropriate amount of salt and alkali.
Knead it into a dough with warm water to make it strong and elastic.
Then, after letting it sit for about 20 minutes, Sosuke used a rolling pin to roll it into sheets four fingers wide.
Next, each sheet was evenly coated with vegetable oil, crisscrossed and neatly stacked in a porcelain basin for later use, then covered with plastic wrap to prevent the noodle sheets from drying out.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Just then.
After finishing the dough, Sosuke began preparing the side dishes.
He took out a sparrow's rhythm slicing knife and quickly cut the rehydrated black fungus and bean curd into shreds, then used an all-purpose knife to dice the lamb!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Izakaya was still relatively quiet.
Only the sound of Sosuke's Chef's knife colliding with the cutting board echoed continuously in the diners' ears.
Subsequently.
In the pot, add lamb broth and bring to a boil!
Take a piece of stewed noodle dough and stretch it into thin noodles.
Then, put the noodles into the lamb broth pot, and after the soup boils again, add another portion of diced lamb, shredded kelp, shredded bean curd, daylilies, shredded black fungus, and other side dishes, and cook them together with the noodles until done.
Finally, remove from the pot and put into a bowl, then ladle in the soup from the pot, and sprinkle some fragrant "soul" cilantro.
Thus, a steaming hot bowl of stewed noodles was finally completed by Sosuke!
...
Green vegetables!
White noodles!
Red oil!
When the freshly made stewed noodles were brought before the diner.
It made one feel that the red, white, and green colors complemented each other, looking exceptionally appealing.
Immediately, the ravenous diner quickly picked up the thin, long noodles with chopsticks, and after a series of slurps, it was truly exhilarating!
When tasting the first bite, one will feel the richness and deliciousness of the soup base.
The combination of lamb and bones fills the soup base with nutrition and flavor, while the addition of over ten spices adds more layers and mystery to the soup base.
Of course, the star of stewed noodles will always be the noodles!
These noodles, made from high-quality high-gluten flour and eggs, become delicate and chewy after meticulous kneading and rolling.
And during the cooking process, the noodles absorb the richness of the soup base and the aroma of other ingredients, becoming incredibly delicious!
Just by biting them, you can instantly feel the soft and smooth texture of the noodles; every bite is full of flavor!
At the same time, the side dishes also have their unique aspects.
The addition of shredded kelp, shredded bean curd, daylilies, shredded black fungus, and other side dishes adds rich color to the stewed noodles!
The crispness of kelp!
The chewiness of bean curd!
The deliciousness of daylily!
The chewiness of black fungus!
All are integrated with the noodles and soup, forming this complex and varied flavor!
"Mmm~"
"It's truly too moving!"
"Indeed, only the stewed noodles from Izakaya are my favorite!"
"Shopkeeper."
"Another bowl!"
The diner eating the stewed noodles couldn't help but have a face full of happiness.
Subsequently, she eagerly asked Sosuke for another bowl of stewed noodles.
...
Many people.
In his memory, there will be a most important dish!
And this dish might cause deep emotion because of the story behind it!
This emotion certainly transcends the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors of the dish itself. Perhaps? What people love is not just delicious dishes, but the emotion behind the food!
Izakaya, although its business hours are only from 7 PM to 12 AM.
But here, you can always not worry about performance and clients, and you don't have to think about doing other things, and you can even get rid of your wife's nagging at home!
Just a glass of wine.
Just a dish.
You can quietly spend a period of time that belongs only to you, by yourself.
And then, if you can eat the dishes you want, that is an even greater enjoyment!
At this time, Sonoka, who had not yet left, watched the diner next to her, who often showed expressions of satisfaction and happiness from being able to eat stewed noodles, and couldn't help but remain silent for a long time.
At this moment, she somewhat understood the meaning of this Izakaya's existence.
And she could gradually understand what Sosuke's words just now meant!
...
"What's wrong?"
"Are you surprised watching me make stewed noodles?"
He placed the other finished stewed noodles in front of the diner.
Afterward, Sosuke turned to look at Sonoka, and seeing her gaze deep but empty, as if she was thinking about something by herself, he couldn't help but ask.
"No, not at all!"
"I was just thinking."
"The rule at Izakaya, where diners can order whatever they want, feels really good!"
Mujiuzhi came back to her senses, laughing awkwardly a few times.
Undeniably, this rule of "If you have something you want to eat, I can make it if I have it" is definitely the best marketing strategy for this Izakaya.
As night falls, there's likely that sense of unease, as if there are still things left undone, and an uncertainty about how to say goodbye to the day!
So, even if not hungry, one wants to find a place to go.
And Sosuke's Izakaya is the existence that can soothe the emotions of these diners!
You should know.
The rule of ordering freely.
It has a necessary prerequisite, which is that the Chef's culinary skills must be all-encompassing; he must know how to make everything.
Otherwise, if diners frequently order their favorite dishes, but you don't know anything and can't make anything, then this rule of ordering freely is just like farting.
Therefore, seeing Sosuke meticulously prepare every dish, using food as a way to convey his emotions and care for the diners!
This point truly made Mujiuzhi deeply admire him!
Perhaps, she herself is also managing Spring Fruit Pavilion Western Restaurant.
Therefore, Mujiuzhi deeply understands how difficult it is for a restaurant to make diners show happy smiles like Izakaya does!
