The video is really amazing, right? This is the process how Lanzhou Ramen is made. It is not just a mass of noodles, but contains decades of cooking skills and experience. I am so hungry right now when writing this for you!
Ramen is the most characteristic food in Lanzhou and is typical of Chinese noodles. It is beef noodle in origin, afterward coupled with soup that has been boilded with cattle and sheep livers. Handcraft noodle and tasty soup together compose the delicious meal.
The dough is made of tough flour specially selected with gluten, and kneaded with potassium carbonate powder and water. First, it has to be pounded, kneaded and stretched into long and thick dough rod. Then the chef will stretch noodle to different thickness according to the favor of customers. People who like round noodle could choose from five types of thickness; people that favor flat noodle could choose frmo a variety of broadness.
You can eat noodles of all kinds of shapes in Lanzhou Ramen restautant, even as thin as a hair! That is true. Watching Ramen handcrafting is like watching a performance, viewer would be shocked in a few seconds. Li enhai, the most famous Ramen chef, is from my home province. This man has broken the Guinness World Records three times by threading 25 noodles through an eyelet of an embroidery needle! He has also stretched a 10-meter-long noodle from a piece of dough as small as a bean! L
i performed in front of President Bush when he visited China, and Bush ate two bowls of Li's Ramen.Ramen restaurants in my home city are good, but not good enough to compare with the orthodox Lanzhou Ramen. I have been to Lanzhou five years ago, the local noodles are pretty wonderful! The soup is cooked with yak meet, probably mixed with a little bit of sheep and chicken soup, I guess.
I love Lanzhou Ramen so much!
