Suzhou Summer, Cold Noodles Memory
Every hot summer, people begin to start the mode of relieving the heat in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc. Especially when it comes to food, everyone is smart and skillful in creating various ways to eat, so as to not only refresh and relieve the heat, but also satisfy the needs of taste buds. In Suzhou, noodles are often the main character in relieving the heat, and the most popular one is cold noodles.
Cold noodles were called " cold noodles" in ancient times. The ancients cooked the handmade raw noodles in a pot, took them out and washed them in cold water. After cooling, they mixed with seasonings and ate them, making them smooth and chewy in the mouth. Leng Tao has a history of thousands of years. After "travelling" to today, not only the name has been changed, but the production method is also very different, and it has evolved into a unique delicacy to relieve the heat in summer.
Cold noodles are not just noodles and seasonings, but also have many kinds of toppings. The toppings of Suzhou cold noodles are all made from seasonal and fresh ingredients. Suzhou people who know how to eat eat cold noodles in various ways. It looks like a bowl of homemade cold noodles, but it tastes Suzhou-style elegance, with various styles and different tastes. This is not inferior to the north in any way.
Suzhou-style home-cooked cold noodles
As far as fresh noodles are concerned, there are many varieties in Suzhou, including thin noodles, small wide noodles, large wide noodles, etc. More people choose small wide noodles to make cold noodles. Tumble the small wide noodles in boiling water until they are cooked. Take the noodles out and run them through cold water. Mix them with oil to prevent them from sticking together. Place the noodles under the wind and let the cool breeze drive away the heat remaining in the noodles. The noodles will shrink when they are cold. The roots are distinct and golden and shiny.
The noodles are "cooled" by the wind, poured with secret marinade, then poured with bad oil or shrimp soy sauce, and finally topped with indispensable toppings. Accompanied by the marinade, fermented oil, and toppings, the cold noodles become rich and luxurious in an instant. They taste cool and delicious, and are the exclusive taste of Suzhou people in summer.

The taste remains deep in the memory. No matter how time goes by, the original taste remains unchanged.
In the alley, Xiao Ming and his friends played lively with pinball and paper rackets, sweating profusely. A gust of wind blew through the hall, and they felt refreshed, but they also felt hungry. Soon, grandma’s cordial call came from the distance: Good boy, let’s eat cold noodles. Hearing the call, Xiao Ming ran home.
Mouth-watering cold noodles
Delicious Soviet-style cold noodles
There is a bowl of freshly made cold noodles on the table. The ingredients in the bowl include hand-shredded chicken, cucumber, carrot and other ingredients made by my grandma. There are peanuts and coriander. Grandma saw that Xiao Ming had arrived home, so she poured the prepared sauce on the noodles. The cold noodles wrapped in the sauce were even more attractive. Xiao Ming couldn't wait to pick up a bite and put it in his mouth. The tender shredded chicken and crispy ingredients greatly increased his appetite, and he finished the bowl of cold noodles quickly. Xiao Ming said he still wanted to eat it at night, and grandma agreed to make cold noodles with shrimp topping for him to eat at night. Years later, the taste of cold noodles remains in Xiao Ming’s taste memory.
