It is indestructible and unshakable!
You can see them whether in the streets
or in high-rise buildings
But there are two kinds of fans that have been bothering the masses in Guangdong
like Huolao and oyster omelette
Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola
Wontons and wontons ......
The dispute between hor fun and Kway Teow has always existed and is confusing.
Can you imagine it?
When you order a bowl of beef Kway Teow at a Chaoshan restaurant in Shenzhen,
what comes out is... When bowling beef pho
this misunderstanding is really too big...
Many people say that they don't all look the same
Regarding the taste, it is a little bit very little. Difference
Chaoshan people will think that they are actually different!
Today, let the Chaoshan editor help you find out their differences.
Kueh Teow ≠ Hor Fun
Besides, Kuey Teow is Ho Fun, so I’m in a hurry with you!
01 History PK
Pho appeared early. Pho appeared later.
Guangfu Pho
Around 1860, originated from Shahe, Guangzhou, so Pho is also called Shahe Powder .
Hor powder is one of the popular traditional foods in Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Fujian and other regions.
Chaoshan Kway Teow
Tracing back to its origin, Kway Teow actually comes from Hor Fun . However, Chaoshan people who are "knowledgeable in eating" introduced pho, added their own understanding, and finally created their own reputation and made it a special delicacy that local people like.
Kueh Teow is a characteristic traditional snack in the southern Fujian region of Fujian, Shanwei , Taiwan Province, Hainan Province, Chaoshan, and other Minnan dialect areas.
02 Making PK
Hor Fun is a simple way to make rice noodles.
They are cooked from the same root. Why is it too urgent?
In fact, the methods of rice noodles and rice noodles are roughly the same:
First, wash the rice and grind it into powder, then add water to make a paste.
river Rice noodle
rice noodle is made by adding potato starch and starch on the basis of rice milk. It is steamed in a basket to make flakes, and then cut into strips after cooling.
Kway Teow
The raw materials and method of making Chaoshan Kway Teow are similar to those of rice noodles, and are also made from rice milk. Different from pho, Chaoshan people like refreshing and pure , so there is not a lot of potato starch and starch added to the kuey teow.
The biggest difference between kuey teow and hor fun is that rice flour occupies a large proportion in kuey teow. try to keep the proportion of other flours to a minimum.
03 Appearance PK
Pho is clear and thick.
Pho
The most obvious difference in the appearance of Pho is that is thinner and looks crystal clear.
Pho is wider and often has two relatively high and obvious lines on the edge, making it appear that the middle part is concave.
Moreover, pho is usually smooth on one side and rough on the other, which can be seen at a glance.
Kway Teow
Kway Teow is different from rice noodles. Kway Teow is thicker and opaque and milky white..
The front and back sides of the rice noodles are the same, straight and smooth, without any unevenness. They are a little hard when pinched and not so elastic.
04 Taste PK
Tough rice noodles, tender rice noodles
River rice noodles
Due to the incorporation of other powders, the rice noodles have a larger powdery taste, and the taste tends to be soft and sticky, with good elasticity and not easy to break. Compared with rice noodles, is more resilient .
Kueh Teow
Since Kueh Teow has a relatively heavy proportion of rice milk, there is not a lot of potato starch and starch added.
Therefore, the toughness of the rice noodles is not as good as the rice noodles, and the thickness is much thicker than the rice noodles, so the taste is fuller. , people in Chaoshan say it is full. The feeling of fullness is also the feeling of happiness!
Kway Teow has a smooth and refreshing texture and is prone to breaking when overcooked.
05 How to do pk
