Why does Chang Xia eat pea rice?
On the day of long summer, many places have the custom of cooking tender broad beans, and also maintain the tradition of eating peas and glutinous rice. Five kinds of beans, such as red beans, soybeans, black beans, mung beans and mung beans, were first cooked with white japonica rice and called "five-color rice". Later, it was changed to light green peas and gradually evolved into pea bacon glutinous rice.
The origin of eating pea rice in long summer
After Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, in order to make him bow to the young Emperor Shu Han, he visited Adou at least once a year before he died. It was a long summer. Every summer, Meng Huo goes to Chengdu to visit Liu Chan, the master of Shu. A few years later, Emperor Wu of Jin destroyed Shu and exiled him to Luoyang. Meng Huo never forgot Zhuge Liang's instructions and went to Luoyang to visit Adou every summer.
The man was afraid that Adou would be ill-treated, so he weighed Adou himself with a big scale every time, and told Emperor Wu of Jin repeatedly that he would never allow any mistakes. Seeing that he was so serious, Emperor Wu came up with an idea and knew that Dou liked sticky and sweet food. Every summer, he ordered people to cook glutinous and delicious peas and glutinous rice for him, and Dou ate at least two bowls, both of which were several kilograms heavier than the previous year. Therefore, there was a custom of eating pea rice in the long summer.

skill
1, I use rice and glutinous rice, the ratio is one to one, and the amount of water is just a little less than the ingredients. If only glutinous rice is used, the added water is just less than the ingredients, because the swelling ability of glutinous rice is poor, and the rice cooked with too much water is not delicious.
2. Wash the rice in advance and boil it with boiling water, so that the cooked rice tastes better and the B vitamins in the rice will not be lost a lot. The most important thing is that it can greatly shorten the cooking time and save electricity by about 10%.
3, bacon is best with fat, but also with cooking oil to stir-fry the fragrance. It's best to fry some oil to make the rice so delicious. Because bacon is added, you should put less or even no salt.
