Step 1
One chicken, about 2-3 pounds, slaughtered cleanly. Either three-yellow chicken or farm-grown chicken will work. Three-yellow chicken is tender and easy to cook, but farm-raised chicken is better because there is a stewing process, and the native chicken is more stewing.Step 2
Cut the chicken into pieces and blanch in hot water. Skim off any scum and rinse with clean water. This step is an important step to remove the fishy smell from chicken.Step 3
While blanching the chicken, prepare the ingredients. Cut onions into thick shreds, cut potatoes into hob pieces, cut green peppers into diamond-shaped slices, and cut tomatoes into large slices. At the same time, prepare the seasonings.Step 4
Wash and drain the blanched chicken.Step 5
Add oil to the wok, about 3 times the normal cooking oil. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, about 25g, into the cold oil. Heat slowly over medium heat. When the sugar dissolves and becomes darker in color, it slowly bubbles up. Add the chicken and stir-fry.Step 6
Turn up the heat, stir-fry the chicken, evenly coat the surface of the chicken with sugar, add the seasonings (dried chili pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, fennel and pepper, etc.) and stir-fry together, continue to stir-fry over high heat until the chicken is moist.

Gently stir once or twice during this period to prevent sticking to the pan, but do not stir vigorously, otherwise the potatoes will fall apart.Step 8

Let’s talk about the preparation below. Add half a spoonful of salt to the flour, add cold water and knead it into a softer dough. Knead the dough into shape, let it sit for 2 minutes, knead again, let it rest for another two minutes, and knead again. When the dough is smooth and fine, it can be divided into batches.Step 11
Roll the dough into a long strip, grease the surface, place it on a plate, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.Step 12
When ready to eat, flatten the dough and roll it out slightly with a rolling pin.Step 13
Use a rolling pin to press twice on the dough to make it longer.Step 14
Grasp both ends of the dough piece, pull it apart gently, it doesn't have to be very long, then fold it in half, hold both ends with one hand, pass a finger of the other hand through the fold, and pull it up and down to both sides. .Step 15
You can pull a few more strands to save yourself a lot of fuss. At the same time, boil a pot of water, put the noodles in the boiling water, and boil it for 3 times before it is basically cooked.
