Shagang dried noodles

Shagang is located in a vast sand dune zone in the middle reaches of nanxi river, in the northwest of fenglin town. On this beach, there are villages such as Xinfang, wok furnace, Zhaotan, Donganzhuang and Xujiawan, which are collectively called Shagang. Making dried vermicelli has become a traditional local family sideline, which has a history of more than 800 years. Generations of Shagang people carry their own dried vermicelli from village to village, and earn meager money or food to support their families. At the same time, Shagang dried vermicelli is also famous all over Wenzhou. Because Shagang powder is as fine as yarn, white, soft and tough, fast-cooked and resistant to cooking, the soup is not muddy, it is cooked well (with good water) and delicious, which is very popular among Nanxi people. There are many reasons why Shagang powder is unique. In addition to taking the first-class white rice as raw material (60 kilograms for every 100 kilograms of rice), the processing technology is also different from other places, such as changing the drying mill into a water mill and changing the steamed powder into a boiled powder (made into a large powder ball, commonly known as powder fruit, cooked in boiling water), and the water quality is good. When it is half cooked, you don't need to pound it with a mortar, but repeatedly pound it with a water reef until it is thoroughly pounded. Therefore, the dough is sticky and tough, and it is as fine as yarn after extrusion.
