Tucheng Guo Family Eel Noodle Introduction
After marrying his wife Zhang Shuhua, Guo Qiting (born in 1964) started selling eel noodles in front of their home to make a living. After more than 20 years of struggling, he has managed to support his family. The ingredients for Tucheng Guo Eel Noodles include eel, noodle, onion, garlic, cabbage, and scallion. When customers order, lard is heated in a pan, followed by the addition of eel, noodles, onion, garlic, cabbage, and scallion, which are quickly stir-fried before adding sauce, plating, and serving. The control of the heat and the timing directly affect the crispiness and texture of the eel noodles, which is Guo Qiting's specialty. As the owner, Zhang Shuhua does not harm living creatures, so the eels purchased by Tucheng Guo are all pre-prepared. Since the Chang Guann (Ting Hsin) oil scandal broke out, Guo Qiting has stopped using commercial salad oil and instead buys "meat oil" from the market to press his own oil at home. The sauce is a homemade mixture of soybean oil, vinegar, sugar, and other ingredients.
