If the barbecue stand is China's late night canteen, then the deep-fried dough sticks stand is China's early morning canteen. In a busy city, people who can leisurely eat a deep-fried dough sticks in the morning are happy. Although the standard configuration of deep-fried dough sticks is dirty stalls and overnight oil, and although there are more unprofessional people frying deep-fried dough sticks, the oil is too high, the noodles are too small, and it happens from time to time that people get tired of eating a few mouthfuls of deep-fried dough sticks, that does not shake the status of national breakfast.
Compared with fried chicken, French fries and fried milk, deep-fried dough sticks are not very delicious. Why does deep-fried dough sticks become a national breakfast? Because deep-fried dough sticks is a deep-fried dough sticks with a story.
1. deep-fried dough sticks rose in the Southern Song Dynasty, when everyone was gnashing their teeth when eating deep-fried dough sticks.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was imprisoned in Fengbo Pavilion by Qin Hui on unfounded charges. Qin Hui wanted to get rid of Yue Fei, but Yue Fei was well-known and loved by people. When he was hesitating, his wife Wang said, 'After releasing the tiger back to the mountains, there will be endless troubles.'. So Qin Hui poisoned Yue Fei and killed him. After the news of Yue Fei's murder reached Lin'an, Wang Laosi, who specialized in deep fried noodle balls, became angry and casually took out the dough figurines of Qin Hui and Wang's, twisted them together, and threw them into the oil pot to make "deep fried Qin Hui". Unexpectedly, it was very popular. In just one afternoon, the entire Lin'an city started making "deep fried Qin Hui". Later, someone recommended it to Song Gaozong and changed its name to "Fried Juniper". Gao Zong liked it very much. Since then, deep-fried dough sticks have become popular throughout the country.
Many places still call deep-fried dough sticks "fried juniper" and "fried ghost", but this curse has been forgotten. So, if you hate someone, just let them put the oil in the pan, they will be more satisfying than the petty people, and they can still eat.
2. Few deep-fried dough sticks are single, and they are fattest when they are together.
Have you ever wondered why there are two deep-fried dough sticks? Not only because of Qin Hui and Wang, but also for a scientific reason: one cannot explode.
Most deep-fried dough sticks are twisted and fried together, because it is not easy to expand if one is fried! As shown in the figure, the following is the experimental results of frying one, two and three deep-fried dough sticks.
It can be seen that two of them are significantly more swollen than one, and even not inferior to three. This is because the oil temperature is relatively high, and a single deep-fried dough sticks will be hard when it goes down, without time for expansion. Two rolled together, with the middle part not in contact with oil, can continue to expand. One slap can't make a sound, one object will get fat, and deep-fried dough sticks needs two to be the happiest.
However, I would rather believe that deep-fried dough sticks was invented by a single dog. Two tangled noodles symbolized his expectation for love, and then they were thrown into the frying pan.
3. Does eating a deep-fried dough sticks every day really make you stupid? Not necessarily.
It has been said for a long time that eating too much deep-fried dough sticks will lead to dementia, especially for students who want to take the college entrance examination. Is this really true?
The traditional production of deep-fried dough sticks depends on alum, which contains aluminum. Research has found that long-term intake of aluminum can cause chronic toxicity to the human body. After being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, aluminum mainly accumulates in the bones, causing osteoporosis and osteoporosis, and is difficult to excrete from the body. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that aluminum is carcinogenic, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) believes that aluminum is not a human carcinogen. However, excessive aluminum has a significant impact on children, not only seriously affecting their bone growth, but also causing neurological damage and intellectual disability in infants and young children.
In 2011, the United Nations set a safe dosage limit for aluminum at 2 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per week. That is to say, if you are a 120 pound person, you can eat a maximum of 120 milligrams of aluminum per week. The aluminum content in deep-fried dough sticks is about 429.7mg/kg. Eating 255g deep-fried dough sticks every week will lead to an excess of 2 or 3 pieces. Therefore, it is hard to say whether eating a deep-fried dough sticks every day can change dementia, but it is really bad for health.
Because of the safety of aluminum, many businesses have made peace of mind deep-fried dough sticks, which are actually aluminum free foaming agents to replace alum. Can I eat such deep-fried dough sticks every day? Sure, as long as you're not afraid of gaining weight.
4. The earliest way to call people "Laoyoutiao" was to launch a map cannon.
The word "Laoyoutiao" originates from the Warring States Period. At that time, there was a country in Xiangyang called "Youzi", where people were famous for their neglect of official duties. According to the Zuo Zhuan, in 703 BC, Bazi wanted to establish good relations with the state of Deng through Chuzi. Chu Zi sent Dao Shuo and Hanfu as envoys to Deng Guo, only to be attacked by Hu Zi, who also stole money and killed people.
Bazi envoy Hanfu reported to Chu, requesting to be friendly with Deng. Chu envoy Dao Shuo and Ba Ke were hired by Deng. Deng Nan attacked and seized his coins, killing Dao Shuo and Ba Ke—— Zuo Zhuan
So, Hu Zi was seen by people as a despicable person who did not engage in his official duties, stole chickens and dogs, and stole and robbed again. "Youzi" and "Liu" are also consonants of "you", and the words "Youzi", "Laoyouzi", "Laoyoutiao", "Youzi" and "Eryuzi" gradually came into being.
5. deep-fried dough sticks, a versatile item in the dark cooking industry.
Not only can it be dipped in soybean milk, bean curd jelly served with sauce and soup with pepper, but also can it be dipped in soy sauce.
You can eat it with filling. Mr. Wang Zengqi said that he had invented a kind of deep-fried dough sticks with stuffing, which was better than fried Spring rolls.
Take apart the two strands of deep-fried dough sticks and cut them into half inch long segments. Mix the pork filling (half fat and half lean). Add salt, chopped scallions, and ginger to the filling. Adding a small amount of pickled vegetables, pickled melons, or Sichuan winter vegetables is also acceptable. Use your fingers to poke through the holes in the small sections of deep-fried dough sticks, insert the meat stuffing, and fry them in the pan section by section until the deep-fried dough sticks are hard and the meat stuffing is ripe. Remove them and put them on a plate. This dish is crispy when chewed. There is alum in deep-fried dough sticks, which is slightly astringent and tastes better than fried Spring rolls. This dish is my first creation and cannot be included in any recipe. Many dishes are created by greedy people's imagination.
