Nowadays, many people have lived in cities for a long time. As soon as they returned to the countryside, when they saw the firewood stove, they asked, "Do you have a crispy rice?"
When I was a child, I always liked to take a piece in my hand after dinner, stroll around the village while eating, and call my friends out to play while biting. The scene at that time was still vivid.
The bottom of the pot forms a layer of crispy rice, which is slightly burnt but not carbonized, and tastes crisp and fragrant.
Crispy rice crust is actually a by-product of cooking. In the past, Tianmen people basically had a stove for cooking in every household. Washing rice, draining water and covering the pot are all things. Make a fire with paper, first use a small stick or something, and then wait until the water in the rice boils before using the residual fire.
When the rice is almost full, scrape off the rice grains stuck to the wok, then pry up a spoonful of frozen lard, spread it evenly on the wok and sprinkle some salt. Then cover the lid and burn a small piece of firewood in the stove. When the frozen lard completely melts and penetrates the whole rice crust, carefully shovel off a small pot cover with a spatula.
In the season when there is no frozen lard, rapeseed oil can be used instead, or the dishes that must be fried in the oil pan can be cooked, so that the burnt wok looks golden and crisp.
Sprinkle some sugar and sesame seeds in the crispy rice. When you are out of the pan, pinch them tightly. Gluttonous people gently gather together to take a bite, honey is sweet, crisp and fragrant, and life can't ask for anything more!
"Ming dynasty cooked rice to eat in the afternoon" is also an excellent shovel, yellowish and loose, moist things silently enter the whole pot of rice in the morning. In this way, the original white and tasteless soaked rice will give off a faint fragrance. If you taste it carefully, it will be full of saliva and leave a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks, which can simply save the dishes for the next meal.
With the improvement of living conditions, rice cookers can no longer be eaten after popularization. There are crispy rice on the market now, but the ready-made crispy rice is not as delicious as the bottom of the cauldron, perhaps because of memory or a feeling.
