A little rice and water can make a good meal. The rice made in this way is not only delicious, but also nutritious. The most important thing is convenience.
This simple cooking method can even be done by children.
In fact, the starch content of rice directly made by rice cookers is very high. For some people, eating such rice for a long time is extremely unhealthy, which is not only easy to induce obesity, but also very unfriendly to diabetic patients.
If you leave the rice cooker, will you still cook?
If there is power failure in your house, can you still cook delicious meals?
I don't think most modern people will do this! No, mainly to save time.
But in the old days, people could still cook delicious rice without electricity. Moreover, the rice made in this way is not easy to get fat after eating, which is more conducive to health.
The way people used to cook.
There was no electricity before, let alone a rice cooker. People used to cook three meals a day with a burning earthen stove.
The old man makes a fire in the back, the old woman cooks in the front, and the old couple are happy back and forth, so that the husband and wife are more loving and even the food on the table is extremely sweet.
In fact, the way they cook is quite different from the way modern people cook.
People used to cook with firewood. Small firepower, controlled according to cooking technology.
Put the rice in a large iron pot, then add more water, cover the pot and bring it to a boil, then turn to a slow fire and cook the rice until it expands.
Scoop out the rice and soup with a spoon, filter the rice grains with a shovel, and leave the rice soup. This step can filter out the excess starch in the rice, thus effectively reducing the sugar in the rice.
Wash the pan, let the water boil, and then turn the heat down. Pour the filtered rice grains into the bottom of the pot, and pile the rice in the center of the pot bottom to form a ball. Then punch a few small holes with chopsticks to facilitate the steam discharge. Can effectively make the rice cooked evenly.
Cover the pot and bake slowly. This is what the countryside often says.
During the period, according to the size of the fire, determine the right amount of water to sprinkle around the rice along the iron pot.
Turn off the fire in about five minutes, and then stuffy for five to ten minutes, and a pot of delicious rice will be ready.
Open the lid of the cooked rice, blow it gently with your mouth, and hear a "whoosh" sound, indicating that the rice is cooked.
The rice made in this way is not only more fragrant than the rice cooker, but also contains less starch, so people are not easy to get fat after eating this kind of rice, and sometimes there will be a crispy rice at the bottom of the pot.
We struggle every day just for three meals a day. Why not choose a better and healthier cooking method?
Although this cooking method is complicated, it can also experience different fun.
The most critical step is to filter out the boiled water of rice, so as to effectively reduce the starch content in rice.
The filtered rice soup is also delicious.
Of course, if you can't cook, you can also choose steamed and filtered rice. The steamed rice is even and full, and tastes good.
