682. Local Chicken Rice Noodles, Huiying Street Snacks
"Okay, okay, everyone, please focus on me first. Don't miss yesterday's steak dinner anymore."
Li Xiao was a little helpless. He turned the camera to the bowl of local chicken rice noodles in front of him and said, "How can you always be obsessed with yesterday's delicious food? What we are going to eat today must be delicious too."
After Li Xiao said this, he smelled the bowl of rice noodles vigorously.
"As soon as you smell it, you can tell that this chicken soup is made with a lot of real ingredients."
"No wonder this business is so good."
"The chicken soup is delicious and fragrant. It also contains leeks and chopped green onions. Although the chicken looks like small pieces, it is all local free-range chickens."
After saying that, Li Xiao couldn't help it anymore. He picked up the chopsticks next to him and stirred the food in the bowl evenly.
Each rice noodle is covered with soup. Pick up the rice noodle and put it in your mouth.
"This rice noodle is slippery, not dry at all, and very moist."
"It's filled with the flavor of chicken soup."
"It has a very mellow flavor of local chicken soup. This rice noodle should be made from local rice noodles."
“It’s different from rice noodles made in other places.”
Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "This rice noodle should be made from high-quality local rice and refined through eight processes including soaking in local natural mountain spring water, grinding, filtering, steaming, pressing, boiling, and bleaching."
"Because of the water quality, the rice noodles taste different from those in other places. Outside of Yunxian County, we probably won't be able to taste such authentic Yunxian rice noodles."
"Let's try this chicken again."
"Look at this chicken, its bones are black, and the meat looks clear."
"This chicken tastes very chewy, but it's not woody, and it's especially delicious. It's an authentic Yunxian native chicken."
"The boss also gave some pickles and kimchi as gifts. The water pickles and kimchi are similar to the ones we have eaten before, which are vinegar-pickled lotus white, which is also cabbage."
"Pickled vegetables are water pickles made from pickled green vegetables. We have introduced them before. Eat them with this native chicken rice noodles. The rice noodles are smooth and hot, and this kimchi pickled vegetables are cool and sour, which is particularly good for relieving greasiness."
"When the two are paired together, they create two different flavors in the mouth."
“Incredibly memorable.”
While Li Xiao was talking, he put some kimchi into the bowl. The chicken soup in the bowl plus kimchi added some sourness to the delicious taste, which was very refreshing.
Seeing Li Xiao eating so deliciously on the barrage, everyone made drooling expressions.
"Oh my god, the anchor's food is so delicious."
"I really want to eat this kind of tender and smooth rice noodles."
"The anchor is really awesome. You can tell how the rice noodles are produced by eating them. And this chicken, it can actually tell where the chicken is produced."
"Don't forget what the anchor does? The anchor is not only a check-in anchor, he is also a cook!"
"We all have witnessed the anchor's cooking skills, but we don't know how to make this rice noodles."
"The smart man has already placed an order for a few packages of rice noodles online. I will cook some rice noodles when my delivery arrives."
"As a Yunnanese, I really like to eat rice noodles, including bridge rice noodles and chicken rice noodles."
"The rice noodles are elastic, smooth and smooth. Who doesn't love these rice noodles?"
"Am I the only one curious about how to make this chicken rice noodle? If I can't buy Yun County rice noodles, can I still make the same style?"
“I really don’t understand why you netizens are always obsessed with making the same style?”
"I really don't understand you netizens. Do you want to collect stamps by making so many of the same style?"
"Hahaha, you guessed it right, I just want to collect stamps. I want to collect every delicacy that the anchor has eaten."
"What kind of quirk is this?"
"It's just a little bit of a collecting habit. Besides, I stay at home every day and have nothing to do. My only hobby is cooking."
"Isn't that the rich woman in front?"
"Rich woman, I don't want to work hard anymore."
"If you don't want to work hard, get out and don't bother me."
"What kind of human reality is this, hahaha."
After eating the rice noodles, Li Xiao seriously thought about how to make it.
“Actually, it’s not difficult to make rice noodles in Yun County.”
"Since someone wants to make the same style as me, I'd better tell you how to make it."
"Everyone can take a small notebook and write it down."
"Then you can easily get the same delicacies as the host."
"First we prepare the ingredients. The prepared ingredients include Yunxian rice noodles, leeks, chopped green onions, salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken soup, and chicken."
"As for chicken soup, everyone can make it according to their own preference."
"Or you can also refer to the soup stock recipe I mentioned before."
"Adjust the ingredients when making it, just use chicken and a little bit of pork bones."
"Or you can simply stew chicken soup, and stew it as you normally would at home."
"Put a little bit of ginger, green onions, grass fruits and salt in the chicken soup."
"It's ready after it's cooked."
"After cooking, we take out the chicken from the chicken soup, and then wash the leeks and green onions we just prepared."
"Wash the green onions and leeks and cut them into small pieces, and then prepare a large, clean bowl."
"Put the freshly chopped leeks in the bowl, and our chicken soup can still be cooked in the pot at this time. It's OK for the time being, no need to turn off the heat."
"Boil the water and scald some rice noodles in the water."
"If you buy fresh Yunnan rice noodles, you can actually rinse them in water."
"Just put the fresh rice noodles in boiling water and blanch them a little, and then you can eat them, because they are already cooked during the processing."
"Next, put the rice noodles in the soup into a bowl, and add a spoonful of chicken soup."
"Immediately, chop the freshly cooked chicken, place the chopped chicken on top of the rice noodles, add chopped green onion, an appropriate amount of salt, and MSG to taste."
"Just like this, a simple Yunxian chicken rice noodle is ready."
"The key point is still the chicken soup. Everyone should pay attention when making chicken soup."
"If you have learned it, just do it quickly. I'm waiting for you to hand in your homework."
"Isn't it very simple? You can actually do this without asking your mother."
Li Xiao made a joke and walked out of the store.
Today, he has already eaten the Yunxian native chicken rice noodles that he wants to eat most, so where will he go next?
Next, of course, we have to visit a snack street in Yun County.
This street is called Huiying Street, and it is said that there are many halal food on the street.
How could you not give this a try?
As soon as he left, Li Xiao took the fans in the live broadcast room and quickly took a taxi to Huiying Street.
There are many small vendors on the street selling some snacks.
As mentioned before, there are many types.
One of the most common ones is some fruits soaked in a large basin.
These fruits are a bit white and yellow due to soaking, but they don't look like the emerald green they were just picked.
The pears are yellow when soaked, and there are also some citrus fruits, which the locals call olives.
This kind of olives was also soaked in a large basin. It originally had a sour taste, but the water in which it was soaked had salt added to it.
The olives soaked in this way are not so sour, and when you eat them, you can taste the saltiness and sourness in the soup, and you can taste some vague bitterness.
After eating one, your mouth will slowly begin to taste sweet.
It gradually becomes sweet, but if you eat another olive of this kind at this time, your mouth will become salty and sour again.
What a wonderful feeling.
Li Xiao bought a jar of olives soaked in salt water on the street.
This kind of olives has been brewed for about a month.
The stall owners pick it themselves in the mountains.
And their olives are the larger ones from the mountains.
I heard that some mountains have many olives, while others have very few.
This kind of fruit is a kind of wild fruit in the local area. When it is abundant, it can be found all over the mountains and plains. Because it has a very sour taste, is very common, and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, it is very popular among the locals.
The olives soaked in salt water will not be so sour, and will be treated in the same way, as well as some sour mango, sour doy, and of course pears.
The taste of pears is different from those sour ones.
The ones mentioned earlier have a sour and salty taste after being soaked, but the pears have a salty and sweet taste after being soaked.
A little strange.
However, the locals seem to like eating it this way, and it is said that it has the effect of relieving coughs.
Pears can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, so Li Xiao bought a can of soaked pears.
The stall owner asked Li Xiao whether he wanted to eat here or take it home. Li Xiao thought about it and felt that eating outside would be the same, so the stall owner fished out a few pears from the big basin.
Then he put the pears in a plastic bag and handed them to Li Xiao, telling him to eat them here.
There were a lot of fruits soaked in basins in the small stall, including the olives mentioned before, papaya, and sour doy, all of which were soaked until they turned a little white.
Pickled pears are different from those.
The skin of pickled pears is yellow or black. Due to the unpleasant color, people who have never eaten it rarely have the courage to try it.
If you smell it, it even has a slightly strange smell.
Li Xiao checked the relevant information and found that this pickled pear is a unique dish of the Mosuo people.
This kind of soaked pears is very popular in Gejiu and other places in Yunnan. The locals will soak the smaller or tri-colored pears in water with salt and spices.
Not only salt is added to the water, but also some spices such as Sichuan peppercorns are added.
Then soak the pears for a period of time. After the originally sour pears are soaked for a period of time, their sour taste will disappear.
Instead, it has a sweet and sour taste, not the sourness of fresh pears.
The soaking time is about a month, and the soaked pears are ready for use.
This kind of pickled pears has even been exported overseas, and the output is very impressive.
I haven't tried it before.
The owner of the stall saw that Li Xiao was good-looking, so he came over enthusiastically and gave him a knife.
"Young man, are you a foreigner? This is your first time visiting our place."
The stall owner chatted enthusiastically.
"How do you know? I came here for a trip."
Li Xiao took the knife and looked at the pickled pears in the bag, still a little unsure of how to start.
"How do you eat this?"
Li Xiao asked.
"Oops, I almost forgot, you are a foreigner, so you may not eat this."
The stall owner slapped his head hard as if he was very annoyed.
Then he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Come here, let me tell you, this is how you eat this pear."
"You use a knife to peel off the pear, and then you can eat it directly, just like eating pears normally."
While talking, the stall owner saw the mobile phone in Li Xiao's hand again, and what was displayed on it was the live broadcast.
"Oh, young man, you are an anchor."
The stall owner seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Our pickled pears are delicious, don't worry."
Li Xiao took out a pickled pear directly from the bag with his hands.
The surface of the soaked pears looks a little black and yellow, and the color is completely different from that of fresh pears. It is much darker than fresh pears.
Moreover, these pickled pears are all small.
Some people do not peel this kind of pickled pears when eating them, while others will peel them before eating them because the skin of pickled pears will be harder.
Of course, this also varies from pear to pear, and it mainly depends on what kind of pears the store owner uses for soaking.
Some people use torch pears, some people use gourd pears, and some people use sesame pears.
These various pears are all called by the local people. As for what their names are, you need to check the information.
"Boss, how do you soak these pears?"
Li Xiao held the small pear in his hand and examined it for a while, then asked curiously: "I have checked the relevant information before. Are there many people here who know how to pickle pears?"
"Most of the pear pickles are made with local mountain spring water plus salt, pepper, and licorice."
When the boss heard what he said, he immediately gave him a thumbs up.
"Young man, you really know your stuff. Our pickled pears are indeed pickled like this."
"This method of soaking pears is actually very simple. You only need to add water, salt, pepper, and licorice when soaking."
"Some people don't like to add Sichuan peppercorns and prefer to add licorice and salt, but I will add a little bit when soaking."
"Because I think it will have a bit of fragrance when brewed this way, and I have been brewing it this way for so many years."
"Many outsiders think that pickled pears have a bit of a smell and are afraid to eat them. I think those who dare to eat pickled pears are people who like to try new things."
Li Xiao held the pickled pear next to his nose and smelled it. It did have a slight odor.
That's because the pear has been soaked in water for a month, so it has such a taste.
However, the smell of soaked pears is very light and quite acceptable.
Li Xiao decided to try it out to see what this special kimchi from the Mosuo people tasted like.
Will it be as fragrant, crispy and sweet as the information I checked before?
Thinking like this, Li Xiao peeled the pear with a knife, then cut off a piece and put it in his mouth.
