The feeling of a bowl of noodles~~~Homemade longevity noodles

Overview

I remember when I was a child, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I lived in a third-tier city in the mainland. At that time, many supplies were relatively scarce. At that time, if I wanted to drink good milk powder or eat chocolate, I had to wait until my mother and her friends went on a business trip to Shanghai to buy them for me. I remember when I was traveling in Beijing on my sixth birthday, I saw Uncle Mai for the first time. I was very excited. My mother took me in and wanted to buy something for me to try. This kind of birthday experience is unimaginable for today's children. Nowadays, parents pay for a group of classmates to have a party with a big cake and a lot of gifts. Young people will eat, drink and sing with a group of colleagues, buddies and girlfriends. For young people, birthdays are the most important thing besides Valentine's Day and Christmas. But we often ignore the parents who silently raised and supported our growth. Their birthdays may not require a big meal or gifts, as long as a sincere companionship is enough. It was my mother's birthday two days ago. I got up early to cook her a bowl of hot and fragrant shrimp and lard longevity noodles. I wish her good luck with a piece of cabbage, a mellow taste of mushrooms, a piece of sausage and long-lasting happiness. Finally, eat an egg and our family will be reunited. We must also eat up the long silver noodles, so that we can live a long and healthy life

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients photo: green onions, cabbage, eggs, mom’s homemade sausage, soaked dried shrimps and 🍜. I couldn’t find longevity noodles in the supermarket, so I used this thin noodles instead. The selection of ingredients for making longevity noodles is very flexible. You can pick the ingredients you have at home and mix them with meat and vegetables. For example, the sausage can be replaced with ham, lean chicken, shredded chicken legs and beef, the cabbage can be replaced with spinach, greens, lettuce, etc. It is best not to skip the poached eggs

   

2. 2 Select and wash the green onions, wash a few cabbage leaves and set aside

   

3. 3 Chop the soaked dried shrimps, cut the mushrooms into cross-cut pieces, slice the sausages, and mince the white and green onions separately

   

4. 4 Cut off the stems and hard roots of the cabbage, cut into long strips, and set aside

   

5. 5 Get a larger soup pot and boil water. Because I'm cooking wet noodles, not dried noodles, I put the noodles in the water and stir them up with chopsticks.

   

6. 6 When the water boils, tap water again and you can fish it out. In fact, if you are lazy, you can cook the noodles directly in the soup pot. Because when I was cooking the noodles, my parents went to the market to buy vegetables before they got home. I was afraid that the noodles would be lumpy, so I took them out after they were cooked until they were halfway done. If you cook them directly in the soup until they are cooked, just order water twice

   

7. 7 Rinse the noodles under running water, then soak them in cold water and set aside. Because they have to be soaked in hot water at the end, you don’t need to soak them in cold water

   

8. 8 Set noodles aside to prepare soup. Today I specially made lard longevity noodles according to my mother’s favorite Yangchun noodles recipe. I was waiting for my mother to come back with a piece of pork suet while shopping for groceries. In fact, a simpler way is to stir-fry minced scallions and sea rice with lard, add water or stock to boil, and season with salt or light soy sauce. The lard hadn't arrived yet when I made it today, so I had to cook the soup and vegetables in a soup pot first.

   

9. 9 After the noodles are cooked, use the poached eggs directly in the water used to cook the noodles, take them out and set aside. One of them was not cooked yet, so I ate it, and the other two beautiful ones were given to my parents

   

10. 10 In a soup pot, add an appropriate amount of water according to the number of people and bring it to a boil. If you have stock at home, it will be better to use stock directly. If not, you can also open the water and add chicken juice or thick soup

    

11. 11 I don’t have much Taitole Chicken Sauce at home. I rummaged through the cabinets and couldn’t find where my mother had put the new ones. I was so anxious that I put in a spoonful of the stewed soup from yesterday’s stewed pork. It tastes good👍. You can add a little salt to taste. Try not to make this soup too salty because there will also be some light soy sauce in the bowl at the end

    

12. 12 Add sliced sausage and cook for two minutes

    

13. 13 Add the mushrooms and cook for a minute or two until the mushroom sausage is almost cooked

    

14. 14 When the mushroom sausage is cooked, add the cabbage, cook for one minute, then turn off the heat and set aside.

    

15. 15 Hallelujah, luckily I turned off the heat first, and it took another ten minutes for my parents to come back from their new home. My pork suet, the aroma of lard is the finishing touch of this noodle, it cannot be missing. Wash the pork suet, cut into pieces and set aside

    

16. 16 Heat the pan without adding oil, add lard, stir-fry the lard over low heat, leaving an appropriate amount of lard, and scoop out the excess lard residue.

    

17. 17 Add scallions, stir until fragrant

    

18. 18 Add chopped dried shrimps and stir-fry until fragrant

    

19. 19 Leave a little green onion, add the rest, stir until fragrant, be careful not to burn it. The aroma of green onion, lard and sea rice blend together, it’s so fragrant

    

20. 20 I took a wide-mouthed deep bowl. Forgive the unattractive bowl. I moved immediately. The new kitchen utensils and tableware were moved to the new home. What was left in the old house were old things that were a few years or ten years old. Put an appropriate amount of the stir-fried scallions and dried shrimps into a bowl, then add half a spoon of light soy sauce or steamed fish soy sauce, a little vinegar, and a little sugar, and set aside. I didn’t add chicken essence and MSG. If you like it, you can add a little more. If you like spicy food, you can also add a little chili sauce or red oil. The seasoning is up to everyone’s preference

    

21. 21 There is no need to clean the pot used to stir-fry onions and lard. Pour the soup vegetables you just cooked into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, add the poached eggs that have been cooked in advance, and simmer over low heat for one minute

    

22. 22 Put the cooked noodles into the soup, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook over low heat for another minute or two until they are as soft and hard as you like. My parents are old, so I cook them softer to help digestion

    

23. 23 After cooking the noodles, first put a ladle of soup into a bowl, stir it to make the seasoning even, then take an appropriate amount of noodles and put it into the bowl. It can be folded to make it more beautiful

    

24. 24 Place the cabbage, mushrooms, sausages, poached eggs on the surface, pour an appropriate amount of hot soup, and sprinkle with a little chopped green onion. Those who don't like lard can use vegetable oil to stir-fry scallions and dried shrimps. Those who like sesame oil can drizzle a little sesame oil at the end

    

25. 25 The finished product is made in an old house, and I don’t even have to worry about the decoration or presentation. My parents think it’s delicious and I’m happy

    

26. 26 This bowl of longevity noodles is salty and delicious, with a combination of meat and vegetables, rich in nutrients, solid and fragrant. Eating a bowl of noodles is not only a filial piety to your parents but also a good wish for their health and longevity. Love your parents and serve them a bowl of simple and simple longevity noodles on their birthdays^_^
