Homemade Liangpi

Overview

Summer is here, and the streets are full of people selling cold noodles. I remembered that when I was young, my father always used the big iron pot at home to make cold noodles, so I gave it a try today and it tasted delicious.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. I use sweet potato starch to make cold skin. The particles are relatively coarse and the color is not as bright as the ones I bought. The most important thing is that it is safe and has no additives.

  2. Add water to the sweet potato starch, stir evenly with chopsticks, and wait until the starch is completely dissolved.

  3. Take a large pot and boil water in it.

  4. I use a small pot for hot pot. Because it has handles on both sides, it is easier to move around and will not overcook it. You can also use a shallow iron plate. It is best for the iron plate to have a flat bottom so that the starch can be evenly distributed. The outside of the small pot must be brushed clean.

  5. When the water boils, put it in a small pot. The pot will float on the water. When the pot is hot, pour a spoonful of sweet potato starch water. Be sure to stir it before pouring in the sweet potato starch water, otherwise the sweet potato starch will precipitate. Shake the small pot to evenly distribute the sweet potato starch on the bottom of the pot.

  6. When the sweet potato starch has solidified, pour some hot water from the pot and continue to place a small pot in the pot to scald the sweet potato starch.

  8. A complete piece of cold skin is ready. Place it in a clean basin and soak it in cold water. Change the water frequently and turn the cold skin to prevent it from sticking together.
