Chapter 307 Thin Bean Flour Rice Noodles (1)
After waving goodbye to the old lady, I continued my leisurely pace. Just then, a dazzling light suddenly streaked across the sky. Looking closely, I saw a massive interstellar merchant ship, as massive as a mountain, roaring overhead. Like a giant steel dragon, it left a long wake across the boundless starry sky as it hurtled toward the distant center of the interstellar universe.
Watching the merchant ships disappear into the distance, I couldn't help but ponder. Perhaps, with some careful renovation, this now somewhat desolate land could one day become a bustling, bustling trading center like the center of an interstellar space? The thought of this filled me with anticipation and longing. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the days and nights I'd spent here would remain unique, indelible, and precious memories in my life.
My thoughts raced, and before I knew it, I'd reached my house. Before I even entered, a familiar chime rang out—another new message on my communicator. I took a deep breath, gathered my composure, and then gently tapped the screen, opening the message. When the words "Application Approved" came into view, I felt a surge of excitement, yet also a mixture of complex emotions.
I slowly raised my head, scanning every corner of the house. The familiar furnishings, the worn furniture, the photos lining the walls...everything seemed to recount the memories of the past. Finally, I whispered softly, "Goodbye, our old days..." Though my voice was soft, it was filled with endless nostalgia and reluctance.
I returned to my room and gently closed the door, as if to isolate the outside world from the hustle and bustle. Taking a deep breath, I walked to a corner of the room, spread out the soft yoga mat, and prepared to start today's yoga exercise journey.
Now that I've made up my mind to practice, I need to strike while the iron is hot! I quickly change into loose, comfortable workout clothes and settle into the center of the mat. I close my eyes, breathe, and slowly calm my mind. As soft music plays, I slowly stretch my arms and lift them upward, feeling the slight ache and relief of my stretched muscles.
Next, I bent my legs and performed various graceful yet challenging poses, striving to perfect each movement and maximize the benefits of yoga. As the seconds ticked by, sweat gradually soaked my forehead, but I didn't stop. I had only one thought in mind: Perseverance is victory.
Finally, half an hour passed, and I slowly lowered my hands, ceasing all movement. I rested for a moment, letting my rapid breathing gradually settle. After about two minutes, I felt my breathing become much smoother, so I stood up, grabbed a change of clothes I had already prepared, and headed to the bathroom.
The warm water washed over my body, washing away all the fatigue and sweat, and making me feel particularly relaxed and happy. After my shower, I dried my hair carefully with a towel and then used a hairdryer to blast it dry and fluffy. I climbed into bed, tucked into the warm covers, and closed my eyes, anticipating a refreshing trip to the nursery tomorrow and meeting those adorable little ones. Thinking of their innocent smiles and curious eyes, a smile crept across my lips, and I soon drifted off to a sweet dream.
It's a brand new day, and the sun shines through the window onto my bed, waking me from my sleep. Last night's delicious midnight snack didn't seem to satisfy me; instead, I woke up feeling even hungrier. I checked the time and saw I still had plenty of time, so I decided to make myself some thin bean flour rice noodles to satisfy my empty stomach.
I stretched myself out of bed, quickly washed up, and rushed to the kitchen, where I meticulously prepared the ingredients. Tender green scallions and fragrant cilantro were neatly arranged on the cutting board; golden fried peanuts and crispy beans exuded an alluring aroma; delicate rice noodles and thick, thin bean flour lay quietly in bowls, awaiting their transformation.
Once everything was ready, I gently flipped the switch on the hover camera. It hovered in the air like a nimble bird, its lens trained on the neatly arranged ingredients. Yes, I not only love cooking, but I also love documenting the entire process and sharing it with my fans. While my videos have now shifted to promoting the intangible cultural heritage of the flower-growing community and the mouth-watering delicacies recorded in ancient texts, I initially built my first loyal following by filming detailed recipes! So, I regularly update my recipes to keep up with the fans who eagerly await new dishes in the comments section.
After adjusting the angle and lighting, I smiled into the camera and said, "Good morning, my dear fans! Today, let's explore this unique thin bean flour rice noodle dish!" As I finished speaking, a wonderful culinary journey officially began... Here's a Yunnan specialty breakfast dish: thin bean flour rice noodles. Thin bean flour rice noodles are a traditional Yunnan snack, especially popular in Baoshan and Tengchong. Made with a thin bean paste made from pea flour and paired with rice noodles, they're smooth, tender, spicy, and appetizing.
Ingredients (for two people):
First, prepare 150 grams of dried rice noodles (fresh noodles are even better!) and 100 grams of pure pea flour—make sure it's the yellow kind! Also, prepare 600-700 milliliters of water to make the thin pea flour.
The seasonings needed are:
Don't skimp on the seasoning: prepare two tablespoons of fragrant chili oil or chili paste; a small spoonful of numbing Sichuan pepper oil; two tablespoons of garlic paste made by mixing minced garlic with cold boiled water; a pinch of minced ginger for flavor and umami; a spoonful of rich soy sauce; a spoonful of crispy, flavorful chopped peanuts; and a generous amount of juicy green cilantro and chopped green onions for color and flavor. If possible, a spoonful of Baoshan pickled vegetables, the key to flavor, will complete the dish! Of course, don't forget to season with salt and chicken bouillon to your taste.
The following are the detailed operation steps.
Step 1: Carefully prepare the diluted soybean powder
Slurry preparation:
Take a large bowl and carefully pour 100 grams of golden pea flour into it. Next, slowly add 200 milliliters of clear, transparent water. Using chopsticks or a whisk, patiently and meticulously stir until the mixture becomes a smooth, silky paste without any grains. This step may seem simple, but it requires careful attention to the liquid's changes, ensuring every part is thoroughly mixed. This will lay a solid foundation for the delicious dish that follows.
First, place the pot on the stovetop and carefully pour in the remaining 400 to 500 ml of clear water. Next, turn on the stove to high and wait for the water to begin to boil. Once tiny bubbles appear on the surface, quickly reduce the heat to low.
At this point, slowly pour the prepared pea flour mixture into the pot while stirring it slowly and evenly. This step must be done carefully to avoid adding too much slurry too quickly, which may cause lumps. At the same time, use a spoon to continuously stir the mixture in the same direction to effectively prevent any lumps from forming.
Then, let the mixture continue to simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes. During this time, pay close attention to the changes in the pot and watch the originally thin bean powder gradually become thicker and smoother, eventually presenting a delicate and smooth texture similar to yogurt.
When the bean powder reaches the desired state, don't forget to add a little salt to taste. After gently stirring, you can turn off the heat and let this delicious bean powder rest for a while before use.
