Description
Noodles are staple food in many south east asian countries. A noodle is made from unleavened dough that has been shaped into thin flat strips or round cylinders and cooked in a boiling liquid. Noodles are usually cooked in boiling water, sometimes with cooking oil or salt added. They are often stir fried or deep-fried. Noodles are often served with a gravied dish or in a soup. Noodles, these days are made of wheat flour, which is a better option than refined flour.
Vinegar is a liquid consisting mainly of acetic acid and water. The acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Wine vinegar is made from red or white wine and is the most commonly used vinegar in Mediterranean countries . Wine vinegar tends to have a lower acidity than that of white or cider vinegar.
In Chinese cooking both light and dark soya sauce is used. Dark soya sauce is used for color and light for flavour. Soya sauce is made from fermented soya beans, wheat and salt. Soya sauce has a good amount of salt, so be careful when adding salt to dishes that also has soya sauce. Dark soya sauce is aged longer, giving it the dark clor and thickness. Too much dark soya sauce can ruin the color of a dish. Too much dark soya sauce can make the dish bitter. Soya sauce is used in marinades, cooking and also as a dipping sauce.
