This is a picture that I was familiar with when I was a child, the drying scene for making snacks and fried rice. This reminds me of everything from snacks to big snacks-fried rice.
When I say fried rice, I mean rice (preferably glutinous rice) that has been soaked, steamed, dried and then fried in a pot.
Cooked fried rice is beige or brownish in color according to the heat, swollen in shape and smells like rice. Grab a handful and put it in your mouth. It tastes crunchy.
This is very similar to the puffed food sold in the supermarket now, and it is a favorite snack for children. But the puffed food sold in supermarkets contains pigments and food additives. Homemade fried rice does not contain any additives.
The cooked fried rice is generally sealed and preserved, usually put in an enamel jar and covered with a lid to prevent the fried rice from becoming brittle due to moisture, which not only affects the taste, but also affects the quality.
There are several ways to eat fried rice:
First of all, eat directly: if you want to eat, open the jar lid and Morihiro bowl, grab a handful from the bowl and put it in your mouth, chew and swallow it. When chewing fried rice, my ears are full of crunchy sounds and my mouth is full of rice flavor.
This way of eating is convenient and simple. When I come home from school, the meal is not ready. I will grab some fried rice to satisfy my hunger, and then do my homework in a down-to-earth manner until the meal is ready.
The second is to make fried rice cakes, where fried rice and maltose are mixed, kneaded into a ball, or cut into cubes, much like the Saqima sold in the market now. However, at that time, parents were reluctant to give us this snack. They treat it as a gift for guests or visit relatives and friends.
Also, stir-fry the soybeans and mix them into the fried rice, sprinkle with salt, and put a handful in your mouth when eating. When you chew them, rice smells like soybeans and tastes salty and delicious. Sometimes we forget our dinner while eating, so adults give us a daily quota.
I remember when I was a child, my coat had pockets, and my pockets were full of fried rice and soybeans. If you are hungry, just grab it from your pocket. If my classmates see me, they grab me with several hands and often pull me apart.
In addition to dry food, there are rice in soup, fried rice with sugar water, fried rice with egg flowers and fried rice with chicken soup.
I like fried rice with sugar water.
Get up in the morning and fry rice with half a bowl of porcelain bowl and a spoonful of brown sugar. Pour the freshly boiled water on the rim of the bowl and listen to the sneer. The fried rice in the bowl floats and then stirs with a spoon. The water in the bowl turns red, and the swollen body becomes soft after the rice grains absorb water. Take a taste, the rice grain is soft and waxy, sweet and hot, and it smells like rice. This will be my breakfast, of course, adding an egg is more perfect.
Fried rice with sugar water is not only delicious, but also has a therapeutic effect.
It is said that it is the first choice for the elderly, weak women and children to eat brown sugar and soak rice after illness. Because it is appetizing, appetizing and easy to digest.
Also, fried rice soaked in sugar is also the first choice for treating children's food accumulation. It is a favorite snack for children, which can stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and remove blood stasis.
No wonder I have a good appetite since childhood, which is inseparable from the effect of fried rice on appetizing and strengthening the spleen.
Many years later, grandma's skill of cooking fried rice was passed on to her mother. I remember that all the fried rice I brought to school during my college years was cooked by my mother. Now it's my turn to cook fried rice for the children.
Did grandma and mom just spread the practice of fried rice? I didn't realize the affection contained in fried rice until I cooked it myself.
Additional production method
Step 1: Wash the rice, soak it for 4-6 hours, take it out and steam it in the pot.
Step 2: After the steamed rice is spread cold, break up the rice grains by hand, and keep them hard and non-sticky after drying.
Step 3, stir-fry in the pot: first put the washed river sand into the pot and stir-fry, then add the dried rice grains, stir-fry the rice grains and the sand together, separate the fried rice from the sand with an iron sieve after the rice grains swell, and stir-fry the filtered sand in the next pot.
