Speaking of fried rice cakes, there is a jingle: fried rice cakes, fried rice cakes, bite the ocean fork!
I remember when I was a child, my mother often took me to the countryside. I had to eat 50 cents fried rice cake for lunch and stay by the vendor's pot. No matter the smell of hot sun and dust, I can't stop my love for fried rice cakes. When the stall owner closed, I was still not satisfied. I touched my stomach, thinking that if there is, I can eat three more!
Although I had a good meal, I felt sorry for the RMB that my mother held tightly. I didn't want to eat it all day, but I ate it all in one meal!
When I grow up, I know that the money in my mother's hand is easy to come by, just like the process of making fried cakes, which is difficult and complicated!
Fried rice cakes are an old folk craft in Guizhou. In that era when machines were not popular, a small hand-fried rice cake needed at least six processes.
Leave me alone and listen to me:
First of all, when the autumn rice is ripe, it needs to be threshed in a bucket and then dried in the sun;
Secondly, the dry rice is shelled through the nest. There is a proverb called: artificial rice washing is sweating! You can see how easy it is. After hulling, rice grains are separated from rice husk with dustpan and sieve;
Third, use glistening glutinous rice, and the next step is to soak it in warm water overnight, and then wash the rice (the purpose of washing is to ensure that the made Baba is whiter and more appetizing. ) then put it in a wooden bucket on the fire and steam it.
Fourth, pour the steamed glutinous rice into a wooden basin or a stone basin and beat it with a wooden stick until all the rice grains are mashed and become sticky.
Fifth, in the process of Baba, it is necessary to make bean paste at the same time. Bean paste is the best "appetizer" of glutinous rice Baba. If it's not done well, no matter how good Baba is, it's not delicious. After the bean paste is ready, it is the process of packaging. In order to look good, packaging is the most important, which tests the craft very much. Few people will buy it if the packaging is not good.
Sixth, the wrapped Baba can only be called bean paste Baba, and it needs the last process-frying to become fried Baba. This process is also very particular. You should choose the best rapeseed oil to ensure that the fried rice cake is delicious. At the same time, you should also master the temperature. It is easy to paste when the fire is big, and it is easy to stick to the pot when the fire is small. To make it "tender outside and crisp inside" is not achieved overnight, and it needs trial and error.
Therefore, fried rice cakes are an old craft in Guizhou.
If the fried potatoes as a child are mouth-watering, then the fried potatoes as a child make me want to stop!
I remember when I was in primary school, I couldn't go home for lunch at noon because I was far from home. My parents will give me a dime. I finally stayed up until noon, put down my schoolbag and ran to the potato-frying stall at an acceleration of 100 meters to enjoy the food. Ten cents a bunch, a bunch of three potatoes, with Chili.
Smart students will put more peppers because they are too hungry. More importantly, because potatoes are flaky, many people will put potato skewers flat and pile a thick layer of pepper on the potato chips. After eating, they are too hot to breathe. At this time, they quickly turned on the tap and had a full meal. When the spicy taste is exhausted, it is already a full meal. Later, the boss became smart and added a lot of salt to the Chili powder. The salt is hotter and less, and our opportunism has finally disappeared.
Now living in Guiyang, I sometimes choose fried rice cakes and fried potato for lunch, but I can't eat the fragrance of my childhood, so my mouth is watering and I can't stop feeling.
However, after entering the city, we tasted a new food-fried chicken.
When I was a child, living in the countryside, chickens were either used for stewing or frying. I tasted them when I first entered the city.
I tasted fried chicken for the first time in Dicos. I remember it was eight years ago. When I passed a Dicos store, a smell came to my nose. I thought what kind of shop it was. When I went in, the advertisement for fried chicken suddenly made people have an appetite. At that time, I didn't know what chicken tasted like after being fried. Curiosity drives me. I bought a fried chicken leg that is always a "gunman" and held it in my hand. The smell is intoxicating. When I take a bite, the shell is brittle. If fried rice cakes are made of bronze, then fried chicken is king.
I want to come again after eating one. However, because I entered the store for the first time, I was embarrassed to be seen by others after eating too much. Since then, on weekends or holidays, I occasionally go to Dicos, KFC, McDonald's and other stores to eat fried chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken fillet and other foods. Now I'm not afraid of embarrassment. There is a good saying: as long as I am embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed!
