Delicious "china": dishes from fuchozy

This Italian sounding word is actually from China. "Fung-tu-chi" - this is how the product is called in the homeland. And here, and in Europe, noodles are called in every way: "fenches", "fucheza", but more often "fuchoza" or "glass noodles". The last definition has a basis: the finished vermicelli has a grayish translucent shade. Thanks to its excellent taste and low calorie content, the product from China has gained popularity in neighboring countries, and now has become the property of all Southeast Asia. Dishes from fuchsozy in different countries are served with specific sauces. Yes, and the noodles themselves are made from rice flour, and somewhere - from mung beans with the addition of starch of sweet potato, potatoes or cassava.

Historians believe that it was the fancy that Marco Polo tried at the court of the Chinese emperor. But since rice in Europe at that time was a rarity, noodles were made from wheat flour, which gave rise to the world-famous Italian pasta. At us this product is on sale in a dry kind or boiled and dried up. Such a semi-finished product is enough to pour boiling water and let stand under the lid for 3-5 minutes. But here we will consider how to make dishes from fuchsoz, using real noodles. In its raw form, it has a pale gray color of frosted glass with a delicate smell of nuts and is quite fragile. If pasta bends, dark gray is a substandard product.

Before preparing dishes from the fungus, vermicelli must first boil. If you bought the product in the form of ordinary pasta, and cook it should be the same - throw in salted boiling water. The only difference is the cooking time: depending on the thickness of the dough, it is necessary to puff for three to six minutes, otherwise the noodles will turn into porridge. Sometimes you can meet in the shops fachozu in the form of tightly folded ringlets. Then b A thick thread, thread on it a "necklace" of noodles and we dip it into salted boiling water. After the due time, we pull out the thread, we roll it with cold water, shake it to remove excess moisture, remove the thread and cut the rings in half.

Naked noodles do not have a pronounced taste, and therefore they need a dressing. Sauce for fuchozy can be prepared on the basis of soybeans, resorting to additional help of garlic, herbs, pepper, onion, tomato paste, mayonnaise and other products. The lack of expression of glass noodles gives the hostess a whole bridgehead for manifesting culinary fantasies. But people do not live alone as a vermicelli, and therefore, in addition to the side dish to meat or vegetable dishes, pasta can be used in salads.

Try to make a salad with fucchose and cucumber. Three small carrots, one Bulgarian pepper and one cucumber cut into thin strips. Prepare dressing from a tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of sesame oil, a third of a glass of rice vinegar, one clove of chopped garlic and a handful of chopped green cilantro. Boil and cool the feces. In a salad bowl, mix all the ingredients.

But the "winter" dishes from fuchozy. Boiled vermicelli combine with chopped finely pickled mushrooms or pickled cucumbers, season with vegetable oil, rub with onion rings. Excellent snack for vodka or other strong alcoholic beverages.
