Homemade Delicious Chicken Noodle Soup 超美味的鸡汤手擀面

Many people like to eat noodles, my family also likes. But we don't eat it every day. I have a friend, who comes from Xi'an, eating noodles everyday. So it's really easy to make it for those people who often eat it.

But I don't do it regularly, most of noodles were done by machine. And one thing is that the noodles made by machine are identical, however, hand-made noodles are different, they can be cut respectively according to your favorite.

I like wide, my son likes thin noodels, so I can do two kinds of noodles at the same time by hand. Furthermore, there is a kind of family's flavor in the hand-made noodles .

When I was a child, I ate the noodles made by my mother, I like the taste of my mother's cooking because it tastes like home. Even though there wasn't special ingredients which was added in the noodles, I still thought it was delicious! Now I made noodles and my son played around me, I hope he also has the good feeling when he grows up.

Delicious noodles still need to have delicious soup except the texture of it.
And broth can be made from a wide range of ingredients.Such pork and chicken bones fresh dried and processed sea food and more. Today I used the chicken bones, tastes very good! I cooked it for at least two hours. Eating such a bowl of noodles in cold winter, you will forget cold and feel warm.

很多人都喜欢吃面，我家也是。但不是天天吃哦。我有个朋友，老家西安的，几乎天天吃面。所以手擀面对于常吃面的人来说真的很简单。

但我其实并不是总做手擀面，家里有自动面条机，每次大部分都是机器制作。但是机器有一点不好就是面条出来的都是一样宽的，虽然模具有很多种，宽的，细的，但是每次只能出一样。手擀面就不同了，可以分开切面，我喜欢宽的，孩子喜欢细面，那么就可以同时做出来两种。而且手擀面总有一种家的味道。

小时候吃的面条都是爸爸妈妈亲手做出来的，即使没有什么特殊的配料，简简单单的就已经非常好吃了。现在每次一吃起手擀面就会想起家的感觉。那时候妈妈在一个大圆桌子上，拿着一根长的擀面杖，三下两下，就杆好了一张大大的薄片。然后撒上薄面粉，再折叠起来，切成粗细均匀的面条就可以煮吃了。而今天我做着妈妈当年同样的活，桌子旁边就是我的孩子（他非常喜欢在我做面食得时候帮我忙），希望他将来长大的时候，回忆起这段往事，也能拥有这份美好的感觉。

面条除了面的口感之外，还有配料及汤底的选择也很重要。像日本的拉面好吃，汤底尤为重要。有很多种，比如大骨头汤，海鲜汤，牛肉汤，鸡汤等等。今天的汤底我用的是鸡汤，这是用半只笨鸡炖了足足2个小时。大冷的冬天来一碗暖暖的鸡汤面，非常美味哦！

过程：

1、其实和面真没有具体的数量和水，我每次都是看情况来添加。但是一定要放一点盐，这样面条会更有筋道。稍微硬一点没有关系，醒20分钟之后，面团就会柔软很多了，再次揉光滑，然后再醒15分钟。

2、杆面的时候尽量杆成长方形，这样切的时候面条长度就一样了。切的时候按自己喜欢宽度来切就好了，这次我切了宽、细两种不同的面。

鸡汤的做法：半只鸡切开放入锅中，放三四片姜，葱段，八角，胡椒 ，料酒，生抽，加足冷水，小火炖1-2小时。最后加盐调味。然后放一点青菜煮就可以了。配菜自己随意啦。

然后把煮好的菜和鸡汤一起倒进面条碗中。

超美味爽滑的鸡汤面就完成了。
