Noodles are a common staple food in our daily life. There are actually many ways to make noodles, such as fried noodles, boiled noodles, fished noodles, braised noodles and so on. In fact, the most classic method of cooking noodles is boiling. But the hardness of noodles cooked by different methods varies greatly. Some people like to eat soft and rotten noodles, while others like to eat freshly cooked noodles. But most friends should still like to eat noodles with strong flavor, such as myself.

In fact, when it comes to noodles, no matter which way you cook them, you must cook them first. If you want to make spaghetti, you must cook it before you can proceed to the next step. How to cook noodles is the key to affect the taste. Some friends may often cook noodles, but they still don't know how to make noodles taste better. A friend of mine also asked me whether I should use cold water or boiled water to cook noodles. Do you know when is the best time to put noodles? Do you know how to cook this noodle to make it smooth and refreshing? A friend of mine who is a chef in a hotel told me that if you want noodles to be smooth, just remember 3 points. Let's have a look!

1. Do you want to cook noodles with cold water or hot water?

Many novices will make a mistake when cooking noodles, thinking that there is not much difference between cold water and hot water. In fact, the problem is very big! If the noodles are put in when the water is still cold, then the noodles have formed a ball before the water is boiled, and they are sticky and cannot be dispersed afterwards, not to mention the taste of the noodles.

2. About the cooking time of dried noodles and wet noodles

Now many noodle processing shops outside have dry noodles and wet noodles, so we can choose our favorite noodles according to different tastes. If we have processed wet noodles in our hands, wait until the water in the torch pot boils and rolls violently before putting it in. Stir-fry the noodles in the pot quickly with chopsticks after cooking, and don't turn off the heat halfway. It is suggested that the wet noodles should be cooked with high fire until the water boils and poured with a little cold water. Then, if we have dried noodles in our hands, we don't have to wait until the water is completely boiled, so we can cook them. After cooking, we also stir the noodles with chopsticks. It is not recommended to cook dry noodles with high fire all the time, because there is no water in them. If we keep cooking with high fire, the noodles will not be completely soaked in water. After cooking, we will find that they are hard-hearted and undercooked. I suggest cooking over medium heat. After boiling, pour in some cold water. After boiling again, pour in some cold water. Repeat it twice or so, and the noodles will be basically cooked.

3. Finally, we add seasoning. We usually add some natural seasonings, such as salt, chopped green onion and coriander, to our own cooked noodles. If the taste is heavy, you can add some Chili oil, and finally add a sugar-filled poached egg, not to mention how fragrant it is.
