Changzhou Silver Thread Noodles

Changzhou Silver Thread Noodles

　　Changzhou Silver Thread Noodles are a specialty of Changzhou with a history of over 30 years. They are made with carefully selected ingredients and strict production processes, featuring noodles as fine as silk, white as silver, soft and smooth yet resilient, and resistant to sticking when cooked. They are one of the varieties included in the "Chinese Snacks Collection."

　　Ingredient Formula:

　　5 kg premium wheat flour, 750 g egg whites, 40 g food-grade alkali, 500 g dry rice flour (approximately 75 g used), 75 g chopped green garlic, 75 g white pepper, 50 g monosodium glutamate, 7.5 kg seasoned chicken broth (salty), 375 g cooked lard.

　　Preparation Method:

　　1. Place the flour in a mixing bowl, make a well in the center, dissolve the food-grade alkali in 500 g of water and pour it in, then add the egg whites and mix. Knead into a snowflake-like dough texture. After 15 minutes, continue to knead thoroughly until uniform. Then roll the dough using a noodle machine (double-layer, twice; single-layer, three times). When rolling out single-layer sheets, sprinkle dry rice flour to prevent sticking. Next, use a fine noodle cutter (33 cm with 30 teeth) to roll out 50 cm-long silver thread raw noodles.

　　2. Evenly distribute the monosodium glutamate, cooked lard, and chopped green garlic into 50 bowls. Place an iron pot over high heat, add 15 kg of water and bring to a boil. Cook the raw noodles in two batches. Pour 150 g of boiling chicken broth into each bowl, then evenly place the cooked noodles into the bowls and sprinkle with white pepper to serve.

　　Product Features: The chicken broth is fragrant and clear, and the noodles are soft and smooth. The flavor is even better when topped with shrimp, shredded meat, and cucumber slices.
