dear skilletliker:
i can't expess my feeling after i hear that you find them(Szechuan Pepper,tomato ketchup ) in so short time,and you have cooked the noddles by yourself.it is so wonderful. the internet is a magic to connect us.
i admire you ,friend.in the coming future .let intronduce more each other and i hope i can add more color to yours life.
yes, szechuan pepper is a wonderful spice,in the before i don't add them to dishes and i find that the meat always is not so delicious. one day when i add some ,the dishes's flavour has change more.
you learn this dishes .in fact, this ones has many cook skill and stories.let us practice more and make it better day and day.
this one is an ordinary ones you can eat often.this is one of my aim.
let me tell you more about the chinese mix noodles.
this one is origin from xinjiang province,china,one northwest province of china.the people live in there love this dishes most.this province is about 1,600,000 sq km,is the most large provice in china.but the people is about19,000,000,is small in china. there have many sheep and cattles ,tomatos,wheat. the sunlight and the temperature and the soil in there is not the same with other part of china.the meat of the sheep ,the tomato of there is more delicious.the wheat have more protein.in it origin place .people cook this noodle with local sheep.many local people don't eat pork.before they cook they first slice the lamb and mix with some amylum or egg white to make it more tender after be cooked.i often pass over this step,because i want to save time. i will hit the meat with heavy things to make it more loosen. this is an important step.i recommend you to hit the meat before you sliced them in many dishes.this step will make the meat more soft when you eat them,my teeth is often ill i can't eat hard foods,this step make me eat more well.
the szechuan pepper have many effect in chinese dishes.we use it grain, powder and even it oil.in the future ,if you have interest,i will teach you to mix some vegetable with szechuan pepper oil.i love the vegetable's flavour,i think many friend will love too.
the szechuan pepper si often be use more or lack,the food's flavour is change more, we must pracitice more to adopt.
many other provice people live in china cook this mix noodles ,but i find the flavour is not so good as i eat in xinjiang provice.even in xinjiang province ,some restaurant can't provide good mix noodle.but in xinjiang province ,about 80% restaurant can provide the delicious mix noodles,in other province about 5% can provide the good ones.
the local people prepare the noodles with the local flour .they usually prepare the noodles with their own hands!!!!they called the hand noodles la tiao zi(拉条子)
