"Why?"
"Catfish meat is indeed firm and very elastic."
"But after high-temperature stewing, the meat will definitely become soft and lack the refreshing, bouncy texture of traditional noodles, yet Sosuke's Noodle-Not-Noodle…"
Chewing, Erina couldn't help but ponder.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and a look of sudden realization immediately appeared on her face.
"So that's it."
"I put all my attention on the catfish and overlooked the squid core inside."
"The entire noodle dish, the double-flavored noodles composed of catfish and squid, paired with sea bream soup and sea bream meat rolls…"
"Huh?"
"These ingredients are all seafood fish products."
"It seems that another meaning of this Noodle-Not-Noodle is that it's an authentic seafood noodle."
The more Erina analyzed, the more shocked she felt.
Undoubtedly, such a dish was absolutely unprecedented in her impression.
Even the inner meaning and creativity contained in this Noodle-Not-Noodle were completely on par with the previous Reincarnation Spring Roll and Rising Dragon Dumplings!
...
The light protein, when combined with the catfish, further highlighted that refreshing taste.
Noodles!
Their essence is the taste of grains.
And in the process of making this Noodle-Not-Noodle dish, a kind of rice wine was also added as a base flavor.
Thus, the catfish noodles, in terms of taste, were not much different from noodles made from flour.
Of course, the key role was also played by the fish aroma.
The so-called fish aroma is actually the smell of fish sauce.
In Tianchao, this is a very ancient traditional seasoning.
The earliest traceable written record dates back to the late Northern Wei Dynasty, more than 1400 years ago, in "Qi Min Yao Shu" by the agronomist Jia Sixie.
The general method is to remove the scales and internal organs of raw fish, then salt them, and extract the juice produced by the fermentation of the fish meat.
"Mmm mmm mmm!"
"Absolutely… absolutely won't let you all escape."
With a few grunts, Erina, who was very "into" her meal, bit down even harder.
"Delicious!"
"Truly delicious!"
"The chewy and elastic catfish noodles, upon entering the mouth, have an exceptionally rich seafood flavor that continuously spreads throughout the oral cavity."
"As for the fish sauce, it contains ingredients like ginger and pickled peppers that can remove the fishy smell of catfish, making the entire Noodle-Not-Noodle even more fragrant and fresh!"
"In short, the entire bowl of Noodle-Not-Noodle truly doesn't show any trace of flour being used."
"But when eaten, it is indeed a real bowl of seafood noodles!"
Having said that, Erina slowly closed her eyes.
She only felt the faint aroma sweeping through the air, constantly assaulting her nostrils.
And the rich, juicy, mellow sea bream soup had a distinct sweetness amidst its savory flavor.
The catfish noodles, stuffed with squid cores, after fully absorbing the rich noodle soup, had a firm texture and delicious taste, instantly captivating Erina's entire heart!
