传统风味小吃新安烫面角,创制于民国三年(1914),已有80多年历史。时有开封人任老大与本县人王金斗,于新安县火车站开设餐馆,出售“老任烫面角”。由于配方科学,制作讲究,所制烫面角软皮紧,晶莹欲滴,状如新月,色如琼玉,鲜香不腻,味美可口,时有“名扬陇海三千里,味压河洛第一家”的美誉。
任老大故世后,王金斗改字号为“老王烫面角”,其子王德法承袭父业,使这一风味小吃得以发展。1980年,王德法曾应邀赴郑州传艺。
至今,洛阳、郑州等地都有专营“新安县烫面角”餐馆。近年,新安“方记烫面角”在传统工艺的基础上又有创新,风味更佳,1986年以来,多次被评为“ 洛阳市名小吃”,并于1993年应邀参加北京迎“亚运”美食节,受到广泛赞誉。
其做法是:精选胛臀处的鲜猪肉,肥瘦适量,剁肉成末,加多种调料与原汁肉汤搅成馅;再用鲜开水把面烫好,擀成皮,包成状如新月的面饺,上笼清蒸10分钟即成。
王记烫面角的由来
著名风味小吃新安烫面饺,已有七十多年的历史,在陇海铁路线上早已闻名。今洛阳郑州等地均有餐馆制作。
新安烫面饺为任老大所创,任老大开封人氏,生于1874年,幼年曾在开封"又一新"饭店当学徒。民国三年,铁路修至陕州,任老大到新安县落户,在火车站南侧开设老任烫面饺馆。
老任烫面饺,质量讲究,别具风味,在陇海线上出了名,食者日众,供不应求。车站附近饭馆改售烫面饺者蜂起,多达数十家,虽不抵"老任烫面饺"之味美,但新安烫面饺声誉大振,远近闻名。
在经营中,任老大把制作烫面饺的技艺传授给当地人王金斗。任老大去世后,改名号为"老王烫面饺"。现已传至三代。烫面饺的制作,选料严格,制作精细,面皮为精白面粉,用开水烫后和成块,后将面切开放凉,再重新揉匀,切成脐后,擀成圆片。其馅以鲜猪肉为料,选择前胛后臀,肥瘦搭配,细剁成丁,放入肉汤原汁搅拌,然后配上大葱、生姜、韭黄、
白菜心,佐以食盐、白糖、味精、料酒、酱油、五香粉、小磨油等,打拌而成。包成面饺,状为新月,食口处内侧光滑,外侧皱迭八折,形成花边,起脊园平。饺肚内凹外凸,造形别郅,线条优美,每两干面可包饺五个,上笼清蒸,十分钟即成。成饺皮薄如纸,包润如玉,五味具全,鲜香不腻,为小吃中之上品。
