The noodles that represent Hebei are also the only authentic beef noodles in Anhui. This one was born in Anhui, grew up and was spoiled in Hebei, and he is truly "the birth mother does not care for the foster mother's love". [Cover face][cover face][cover face] Go to Hebei, especially in Shijiazhuang, and Xingtai. You can see "Anhui Authentic Beef Noodles" everywhere on the road. You may doubt yourself at a certain moment. In Anhui.


In order to verify that I am not talking nonsense, I deliberately searched for the word " banmian" on a review software. A search for "panmian" in Fuyang, Anhui showed 1,457 results. A search for "panmian" in Shijiazhuang, Hebei showed 2722 results. Search for "panmian" in Xingtai Hebei , and 1491 results appeared.

Let’s start our scientific exploration and solve three problems: ① Why is the board not favored in Anhui? ②Why is Banmian popular in Hebei? ③How to make authentic panmian?

Why is the board not favored in Anhui?

It is said that the birth of Pan Mian is related to Zhang Fei . At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty,The three Taoyuan brothers are stationed at Xinye . Zhang Fei loves to eat noodles, but he always feels that the noodles made by the locals are not chewy and tasteless. In order to comply with Zhang Fei's request, the chef tried repeatedly and finally made this kind of chewy, moderately salty and spicy noodles.

From a regional and cultural point of view, Taihe County is located in the northwest of Anhui, adjacent to Zhoukou of Henan in the west, and the northern part of Anhui is fertile, rich in high-quality wheat. , So Taihe people have a long tradition of eating noodles. In addition, this kind of generous, strong, salty and spicy noodles also fits the bold nature of the people in northern Anhui, and the noodles are just as they are.

Although it is the same province, there is a big difference in diet between southern Anhui and northern Anhui. Southern Anhui is deeply affected by Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and the area of ​​wheat planting is small, so rice is the main staple food and the diet is also light, so This salty, spicy, slightly heavy-tasting Pan Mee is very unpopular here, so its influence is much smaller, and many people here have never even eaten it. Even in Fuyang, Panmian is only popular in Taihe area. Bannian restaurants in Taihe area are usually named "Taihe Bannian", which is quite different from Hebei's "Anhui Authentic Beef Bannian".

Why is panmian popular in Hebei?

Hebei is also rich in wheat, where people have a deep-rooted habit of eating pasta. There is a popular saying that "eating rice is worse than eating pasta to fight hunger." However, in the early days, Hebei did not produce special noodles, and most households ate hand-rolled noodles. With the development of the market economy, all kinds of noodles from other places are competing here, and the noodles have suddenly emerged. Its strong noodles and salty and spicy taste have quickly been recognized by the people in Hebei.

In order to cater to the tastes of Hebei people, the pan-mian operators changed the mutton used by Taihe to non-fishy and non-smut beef. In the long-term competition, in order to gain an advantage, each Bannian restaurantDeliberately highlighting "authentic", one after another marked the place of origin, standards, and materials on the signboards, and finally formed the unified name "Anhui Authentic Beef Noodles".

Many Anhui people ate Pan Mee for the first time in Hebei. Many people in Anhui believe that Hebei's panmian is more authentic than Anhui. How much do people in Hebei love to eat pan mee? No one in Hebei knows Pan Mian. You can take a look at the Bannian restaurants in the streets and alleys. Are they overcrowded during meals? You can ask if people in Shijiazhuang know about Wuqi Road Panmian? You can ask if the people in Xingtai know Dingji Panmian?

Many supermarkets in Hebei have Bannian seasonings on the shelves. After returning home, add water to boil and pour them into the noodles. The aroma of the noodles will come oncoming, even if there is no or gravy , 臊子, a bowl of white noodles with a spoon of Bannian soup, you will see the bottom in a while. It is said that the Jinmailang noodle industry in Xingtai has specially developed instant noodles.

Authentic beef pan mee How to make it?

The noodles of Banmian are similar to biangbiang noodles. Mix them with flour, salt and water, and knead repeatedly to divide them into even small noodle sticks. Spread cooking oil for later use. When you come to the guests, press first, roll it later, and pull it while throwing it. The noodles are 2 cm wide and tens of cm long. They can also be cut into thin noodles. They are very tough.

Pan Mian’s smashed seeds usually use beef as the raw material, cut into peanut-sized diced meat, pour chunks of butter into the pot, after the butter melts, pour in the chili, , fennel, There are more than 20 kinds of spices such as pepper, star anise, cinnamon and so on. After removing it, pour in the diced beef and stir-fry, add salt and MSG to taste. It usually takes seven or eight hours to make the panmian sintered seeds.

Pan mee pays attention to "white, red and green". White refers to the white and oily noodles, red refers to the reddish soup and deep red peppers, and green refers to the vegetables (Chinese cabbage, spinach, etc.).A good bowl of noodles is spicy but not dry, fragrant but not greasy, salty but not astringent, the color is like agate, crystal clear and delicious, and the taste is delicious.

Because there is butter in the ash seed, it will harden after cooling, and the bowl is particularly difficult to brush, so it is often a plastic bag to match the surface of the board. Many people can't stand it. They think that the high temperature of plastic bags will produce harmful substances, but the Bannian shop uses them very smoothly! This is also a major problem that needs to be solved in the future development of the board.
