According to national regulations, rice stored for more than five years belongs to old rice, old rice and spoiled rice are two different things, and the national emergency grain reserve belongs to old rice. Replace it every five years.
When rice is stored for a long time, it will deteriorate, producing bran flavor and unpleasant sour taste. The viscosity of rice will decrease, lose luster and become hard, and the processed rice will diverge. Rice, cakes and rice snacks processed in old rice are not popular because of their poor flavor.
When rice is stored for a long time, the cooked rice often lacks viscosity, and the flavor of the rice will be weakened. So how can we improve the color, aroma and taste of rice cooked by old rice? Here's a little way. Just try it.
First of all, after washing old rice with clear water, you can cover the lid and let it stand for dozens of minutes to allow the rice to fully expand; Secondly, when cooking in the pot, add a little vegetable oil to the pot; Third, cook in the usual way. After the rice is boiled, stir it a little with chopsticks. When the rice is almost cooked, reduce the firepower and let the flavor of old rice disappear with the evaporation of oil and gas.
The old rice cooked by the above method not only has oily luster and rice flavor, but also greatly improves the taste.
Thank you!
