A cold joke about pulling a note in Xinjiang

Tiaozi, whose official name is Mianmian, is also called Lamian Noodles in Xinjiang, and it is called Ranjiman in Uighur, which is a local specialty food that people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang like very much.

The practice of "bracing" seems simple, but it contains extremely rich food concepts and cooking skills. It doesn't take long to cook a dish with smooth texture, good color and taste, delicious mouth and big forefinger movement. From selecting noodles, mixing noodles, waking up noodles, mixing noodles, Lamian Noodles and below, to selecting meat, selecting vegetables, cutting meat, cutting vegetables, mixing ingredients and cooking, there are strict procedures, which are not sloppy at all.

As an ordinary dish, "Tiaozi" has been brought to the extreme by Xinjiang people and endowed with rich connotations. "Daoxiao Noodles" is a combination of dishes and noodles, with noodles as the main food and vegetables as the supplement. "Daoxiao Noodles" must use good local flour in Xinjiang. Because the climate in Xinjiang is relatively cold and the growth cycle of wheat is long, the flour produced is tough and chewy. A thin and long noodle is a "brace", which is tender outside and elastic inside. In the mainland, especially in the south, because of the humid climate and abundant rain, the wheat planted is sticky, and the flour produced lacks toughness and is easily broken. Many Xinjiang people are going back to the mainland to show their talents. When they show off to their relatives and friends, they often "make a fool of themselves" because flour does not live up to expectations.
