Three elements of paella soul 1. pan
A round pot with two ears, the depth of which is not more than three centimeters, can make rice grains contact with heat in a large area, fully absorb the taste of other ingredients, and also produce a burnt taste, similar to the taste of "crispy rice", which makes the taste better.
2. Spanish mixed fried rice
Commonly used Spanish rice are: Bomba, Bahia and Senia, among which Bomba is also called Valencia rice, which is more suitable for paella. This kind of rice is short and small, with low starch content and excellent water absorption. The cooked rice grains are full and distinct.
Saffron
On the one hand, saffron will dye paella bright golden yellow, on the other hand, its special aroma adds a bit of indescribable richness and mystery to the taste of paella.
Tips: paella is not suitable for menstruating women, pregnant women and bleeding patients.
