"Doubt Solution" of Content Summary
① Why should glutinous rice be heated twice?
Answer: The purpose of heating the glutinous rice twice is to make the made eight-treasure rice taste softer and glutinous. The first time it is cooked in an electric cooker, the purpose is to heat the glutinous rice better and evenly, thus shortening the subsequent steaming time. The second heating is steaming with the ingredients, with the purpose of better mixing the sweetness and sweetness of the ingredients with the glutinous rice, so that the glutinous rice can better absorb the taste, thus making the taste of the glutinous rice more fragrant and sweeter, so these two processes are indispensable.
② Why should lard be added to glutinous rice and stirred?
A: Lard tastes more fragrant. Adding it to glutinous rice and stirring it can make the steamed rice more fragrant, soft and glutinous, and at the same time make it look more shiny. If there is no lard, peanut oil or butter can be used instead.
(3) What is the reason that the eight-treasure rice made is too sweet?
A: The main reason that the taste of the rice is too sweet is that the amount of added sugar is not well controlled. The ingredients added in the rice are also sweet, and the cooked glutinous rice should be mixed with sugar and finally poured with sugar juice, which will increase the sweetness of the rice. Therefore, it is necessary to add sugar evenly when adding sugar, and it is necessary to consider adding sugar juice later. If it is too sweet, the subsequent sugar juice can be omitted to avoid being too sweet.
④ The rice made from the eight-treasure rice is too bad. What's the matter with no soft and glutinous taste?
A: The made eight-treasure rice has no soft and glutinous taste, mainly because:
● Cooked glutinous rice is too bad: Don't add too much water when cooking glutinous rice, because the glutinous rice has been soaked and softened. If you add too much water, the cooked glutinous rice will be rotten, and the water added will be less than that of the normal cooked rice. It is best to cook the glutinous rice with a little hardness, because the steamed glutinous rice will be just right.
● Steaming time is too long: the glutinous rice has been cooked until it is soft, so the steaming time in the subsequent steaming process should not be too long, otherwise the glutinous rice will become soft and rotten, so it will have no taste.
Making tips
① Cooked glutinous rice can also use brown sugar instead of white sugar, so that the color of the eight-treasure rice is deep red. If you like the taste of brown sugar, you can also try adding brown sugar.
(2) The added ingredients should be softened in advance, which is more convenient for subsequent steaming, easier to ripen and save steaming time.
③ The eight-treasure rice must be covered with plastic wrap or a plate before steaming, so as to prevent water vapor from falling into the bowl, which will lead to the steamed eight-treasure rice being too rotten and affect the taste and taste.
④ Before adding glutinous rice into the bowl, brush the bottom of the bowl with cooking oil, so that the steamed rice can be poured out better, without sticking to the bowl, and it is easier to form the rice.
