Wuhan Hot and Dry Noodles 武汉热干面 Vegan Recipe - Morgane Recipes
A few days ago, someone asked me to make a Wuhan noodle recipe.
In Chinese they are called 热干面 Rè gān miàn, which means "Hot and dry noodles".
After some research, I learned that these noodles are very popular in Wuhan.
They are generally sold in take-away boxes.
From early morning, there are queues at the vendors,
many customers eat them for breakfast.
This dish has two specificities:
the noodles must be firm to the tooth,
the Italians would say al-dente,
and they are well seasoned, particularly with a sesame sauce.
A day or two before, prepare a jar of pickled green beans
we will only use 100g for the recipe.
Blanch 500g of frozen or fresh green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes.
Drain them,
Put them in cold water to keep them crunchy.
Drain them.
In a mixing bowl, put:40g of salt,
40g of sugar,
50cl of boiling water,
Combine.
Prepare 25cl of white rice vinegar.
Add it and mix.
In a jar, put:The green beans,
Some hot chillies,
The vinegar mixture.
Close the jar and let it sit for 24 hours at room temperature, then in the fridge.

I invite you to watch my video to learn how to make them.

Put the noodles in a large pot of boiling water heated over high heat.

The cooking time for fresh noodles is very short,
as soon as they come up to the surface, take them out.
It takes about 1 minute.
Spread them on the work board.
