Tucheng Guojia Eel Noodles Introduction
After Guo Qiting (born in 1964) married his wife Zhang Shuhua, he set up a stall selling eel noodles in the overhang of their home to make a living. Despite over 20 years of difficult operations, he has managed to support his family. The ingredients for Tucheng Guo Eel Noodles include eel, noodles, onions, garlic, cabbage, and green onions. When customers place an order, pork lard is heated in the pan, followed by the addition of eel, noodles, onions, garlic, cabbage, and green onions, which are stir-fried quickly before adding sauce, plating, and serving. The control of the heat and the timing directly affect the crunchiness and texture of the eel noodles, which is Guo Qiting's specialty. Since the owner, Zhang Shuhua, does not kill, all the eels purchased by Tucheng Guo are already processed. After the Ting Hsin bad oil incident, Guo Qiting stopped using commercially available salad oil and started buying "meat oil" at the market to make his own oil at home. The sauce is homemade, made from soybean oil, vinegar, sugar, and other ingredients.
