How Long Does It Take To Cook Noodles?

How long does it take when you cook noodles? Usually, it takes 8 to 12 minutes, if you cooked too long, the noodles will be easy to broken, but some customers say that the noodles they buy in the supermarket or market can be boiled for a long time, and noodles won't broke, it is very chewiness, they think that these noodles added edible gum, if you eat for a long time, it's not bad for your health. But is that true?
 
In fact, the degree of noodle cooked depends on gluten, which is protein in flour. This is why noodles produced by ordinary flour and high gluten flour are different in taste and quality. If the protein content in the flour is very high, then the noodle  can be cooked for long time, and it will not break. However, if the protein content is too low, the noodles will be inelastic, even if the time is short, it is easy to break.
 
In addition, some manufacturers added some other excipients, such as gluten flour, eggs and salt, in order to improve the noodle's gluten. Because the egg protein is similar to the protein in the flour structure. It can also improve the gluten of the noodles, and the salt can affect the spatial structure of the gluten, making the reticular formation of the gluten more tight.
 
In addition to the quality of flour, the factors that affect the degree of noodle tendons are automatic noodle making machine used by noodle manufacturers. In general, the there are more rollers on the automatic noodle machine, the noodles is more chewiness.

So when you buy noodles, please ask the salesman whether the noodles are added to the eggs, salt, high gluten and other accessories, which determines how long does it take to cook noodles.
