In Tianjin, wedding noodles are eaten at noon for weddings and birthdays, and every time you make noodles, it is more like the beginning of a banquet.
I still remember that I hosted a friend from out of town to my home, and she was "shocked" with a table full of dishes and sumptuous side dishes. Yelling, you Tianjin people are so sophisticated, you are so particular about eating a bowl of noodles!
When Tianjin people eat noodles, they pay attention to side dishes, so-called four plates and eight codes. I heard from the elderly at home that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, "Xian De Yue", known as the top of the eighty largest restaurants in Tianjin, first launched the authentic Tianjin flavor "Lo Mein Banquet", which was different in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and formed its own series. The common meal of Jinmen people, "noodles", has been brought to the elegant hall.
At that time, there were dozens of kinds of side dishes for the "Braised Noodle Banquet".
Although the side dishes of braised noodles in Tianjin today are far less formal than those used in banquets, there are still four most commonly used dishes: fried shrimps, sweet and sour gluten, fried dried fragrant seeds, and scrambled eggs
< p> Especially the sweet and sour gluten is a favorite among children! Tianjin's unique gluten is wrapped in a sweet and sour sauce, fried to a crispy texture, and filled with sweetness in your mouth!
In addition to side dishes, there are also must-have dishes. The dish code is green vegetables, usually with shredded carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, green beans, soybeans, spinach, etc. The most important thing is birthday banquets, weddings and other wedding banquets, which must be served with red pink leather. It looks prosperous and lively!
Guo Degang once said in a cross talk that the braised noodle banquet in Tianjin usually needs to be prepared one day in advance. And this is not an exaggeration at all, because if you want to have an authentic meal of San Xian Braised Noodles, the soul of the "character" San Xian Braised Noodles, it is not that simple!
"Nine rivers are at the bottom of Tianjin Wei, three pontoons and two passes"
The unique geographical location creates the characteristics of Tianjin Braised Noodles. Shrimp is essential and must It is freshly peeled river shrimp, with fungus, cauliflower, meat slices and other accessories. The old people in the family have special skills in making braised noodles. The oil temperature cannot be too high. If the oil temperature is too high, the green onion and ginger will taste like paste. If it is too low, the aroma will not come out. You must use cooked white meat for braising, so that the brine will be flavorful. Some families also add a handful of day lily, which depends on it to enhance the freshness and flavor.
Let’s first talk about the origin of “Four Dishes Noodles”. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, two big restaurants in Tianjin, Juqingcheng and Yihecheng, jointly invested in opening a "First-come-first-served-month restaurant" in Nanshi, which launched an authentic Tianjin-style lo mein banquet, including four cold dishes and four stir-fried dishes. , four-side dishes, four-side dishes, red and white braises, different seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The lo mein banquet was simplified a little and evolved into "four plates of lo mein". Four plates of stir-fried vegetables, usually scrambled eggs, stir-fried shrimps, stir-fried shredded gluten, stir-fried tofu, dried chives and shredded pork. Special mention should be made here of the fried gluten shreds. The gluten shreds should be fried until crispy, put on a plate without any condiments, and poured with a moderately thick sweet and sour sauce. When mixed into the noodles, the gluten shreds will also be crispy. There are also several additional vegetable codes, mainly seasonal vegetables, such as cucumber shreds, cabbage shreds, carrot shreds, bean sprouts, spinach, string beans, green beans, and soybeans. Choose four out of four, and the colors should be distinguished.
The high-end "Four Dishes of Lo Noodles" mainly improves the quality of these four dishes - fried pheasant slices, braised sea mixed with rice, Stir-fried fish fillets and stir-fried shrimps are still essential.
But whether it is high-end or mid-range, the most important thing about "Four Dishes Noodles" is the braised noodles. There are many ways to make brine. Tianjin people generally use day lily, fungus, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, meat slices, and shrimp as the main ingredients. Add onion, ginger, and garlic to the pot. Add the main ingredients, add chicken stock, boil, add water and starch, and add eggs.
So the question is, since Tianjin’s “Four Dishes Noodles” is so delicious, why is it not famous nationwide? Because the people in Tianjin like to eat lo noodles at home, gradually the big restaurants in Tianjin rarely sell lo noodles anymore, so lo noodles have become a private dish. This is also the main reason why Tianjin noodles cannot compete with Lanzhou noodles, Wuhan hot dry noodles, and Chongqing noodles in terms of popularity. Nowadays, when Tianjin people entertain friends at home, they often make "four dishes of noodles", which is more delicious than anything else.
Of course! Although the customs of eating lo mein vary across the country, we in Tianjin have made it a feast with lo mein. This can be considered a Tianjin specialty!

Maybe for many people, eating noodles is just a way to eat noodles. There is not much concept of a homely meal, and many people think that the four-dish noodles are just in name. However, I personally think that the four-dish noodles in Tianjin are more like the epitome of the inheritance of Chinese food culture, and are not "poor and exquisite". . Because Sidie Lo Noodles is a delicacy, it can be served as a separate table, which is called a "Lo Noodles Banquet".
The dishes of this traditional lo mein banquet will also change according to different seasons and months. Generally, in spring, there is braised shrimp made by Pipi, which is characterized by delicious braised food. In summer, it is braised Braised with sesame paste, it is cool and refreshing to eat.

Eating lo mein is not a commonplace meal in Tianjin, it is more like It is a kind of sustenance for good things, because the meaning of noodles in Tianjin is "happiness", so if there is anything worthy of happy celebration, it can be solved with a meal of four dishes of noodles, so this is why four dishes of noodles are decided. The variety of noodles, after all, the hidden meaning behind the four plates of noodles has long been distinguished from the daily meal, so when it comes to happy events, it can be less grand!
For example, the four dishes that come with lo mein can be: scrambled eggs, dried shredded pork, fish fillets in vinegar, and cucumber and shrimp. The noodles are decorated with bean sprouts, spinach, soybeans, green beans, cucumber shreds, etc. Among these noodles, except for the cucumber shreds, which do not need to be blanched, other ingredients need to be blanched before being eaten.
For example, a bowl of noodles needs to be equipped with such rich braised noodles and noodles. It is also important to master the correct way to eat it, because if there are too many or too few noodles, it will affect the taste, so eat it correctly The rule of thumb is that the noodles in the bowl should not exceed a quarter of the bowl. Otherwise, if you add various braised vegetables, side dishes and noodles, the portion will be too much and it will be difficult to mix.
