傳統風味小吃新安燙面角,創制于民國三年(1914),已有80多年歷史。時有開封人任老大與本縣人王金斗,于新安縣火車站開設餐館,出售“老任燙面角”。由于配方科學,制作講究,所制燙面角軟皮緊,晶瑩欲滴,狀如新月,色如瓊玉,鮮香不膩,味美可口,時有“名揚隴海三千里,味壓河洛第一家”的美譽。
任老大故世后,王金斗改字號為“老王燙面角”,其子王德法承襲父業,使這一風味小吃得以發展。1980年,王德法曾應邀赴鄭州傳藝。
至今,洛陽、鄭州等地都有專營“新安縣燙面角”餐館。近年,新安“方記燙面角”在傳統工藝的基礎上又有創新,風味更佳,1986年以來,多次被評為“ 洛陽市名小吃”,并于1993年應邀參加北京迎“亞運”美食節,受到廣泛贊譽。
其做法是:精選胛臀處的鮮豬肉,肥瘦適量,剁肉成末,加多種調料與原汁肉湯攪成餡;再用鮮開水把面燙好,搟成皮,包成狀如新月的面餃,上籠清蒸10分鐘即成。
王記燙面角的由來
著名風味小吃新安燙面餃,已有七十多年的歷史,在隴海鐵路線上早已聞名。今洛陽鄭州等地均有餐館制作。
新安燙面餃為任老大所創,任老大開封人氏,生于1874年,幼年曾在開封"又一新"飯店當學徒。民國三年,鐵路修至陜州,任老大到新安縣落戶,在火車站南側開設老任燙面餃館。
老任燙面餃,質量講究,別具風味,在隴海線上出了名,食者日眾,供不應求。車站附近飯館改售燙面餃者蜂起,多達數十家,雖不抵"老任燙面餃"之味美,但新安燙面餃聲譽大振,遠近聞名。
在經營中,任老大把制作燙面餃的技藝傳授給當地人王金斗。任老大去世后,改名號為"老王燙面餃"。現已傳至三代。燙面餃的制作,選料嚴格,制作精細,面皮為精白面粉,用開水燙后和成塊,后將面切開放涼,再重新揉勻,切成臍后,搟成圓片。其餡以鮮豬肉為料,選擇前胛后臀,肥瘦搭配,細剁成丁,放入肉湯原汁攪拌,然后配上大蔥、生姜、韭黃、
白菜心,佐以食鹽、白糖、味精、料酒、醬油、五香粉、小磨油等,打拌而成。包成面餃,狀為新月,食口處內側光滑,外側皺迭八折,形成花邊,起脊園平。餃肚內凹外凸,造形別郅,線條優美,每兩干面可包餃五個,上籠清蒸,十分鐘即成。成餃皮薄如紙,包潤如玉,五味具全,鮮香不膩,為小吃中之上品。
