The rice in some restaurants is particularly fragrant, crystal clear, with distinct grains and full of flavor. Many people think that they are especially good at rice, but in fact, they are not!

I have a cousin who runs a restaurant. The rice in their shop is particularly fragrant and popular, so the business has been very hot, and they use the most common rice. In fact, to make delicious rice, you don't need much good rice, you only need two things:

One is a barrel, and the other is lard;

With these two artifacts, the steamed rice is really delicious, with a faint scent of Chinese fir, and the unique aroma of lard, it is difficult for rice to be delicious.

Below I will share the specific practices with you:

Step 1: soak rice in water for more than an hour;

Step 2: Boil water in the pot, put it in a wooden bucket, spread a steamer cloth, pour in rice, cover it and steam it in the wooden bucket (that is, white steam can be seen above the wooden bucket);

Step 3: Turn off the fire, pour the rice in the wooden bucket into a larger container, pour in boiling water with the temperature of 100, just cover it tightly, and stew for 30 minutes, so that the rice can fully absorb the water (because the bottom of the wooden bucket is hollow, the rice grains can't touch the water in the process of steaming rice, and without this step, the rice will not be cooked);

Step 4: Pour the rice soaked with water back into the wooden bucket, smooth it, insert a few holes in the middle with chopsticks so that the steam below can pass through the rice grains evenly, and then cover it and steam it in the wooden bucket.

Step 5: Open the lid while it is hot, add a spoonful of lard, stir well with a tablespoon, and the delicious wooden bucket meal is finished!

Tips:

1。 You don't have to choose too good rice, just the most common one;

2。 Because the bottom of the barrel is hollow, it is recommended to spread a steamer cloth when steaming, otherwise the rice grains will stick to the hole below, which is very difficult to clean;

3。 You can spread some sausages on the rice during the second steaming, so that the fat of sausages will penetrate the rice, which is similar to lard. The cooked rice has the aroma of sausages and is extremely delicious.

I hope my answer will help you!

I'm glad to answer your question. I have had some experience in steaming rice in the hotel, so I can share my practice.

1, rice should be soaked for about 30 minutes first, and then washed repeatedly until the rice washing water becomes clear, so that the cooked rice has clear particles and strong taste.

2. Because the rice is soaked in advance, it is necessary to add less water when cooking.

3. After the rice cooked in the rice cooker is cooked, break it up and simmer for a while.

Finally, I need to remind you that vitamins B 1 and B2 contained in rice are soluble in water, and excessive rice washing will lose most of them. For everyone's health, I suggest you wash them once or twice.

Expanding knowledge and lack of vitamin B 1 will lead to beriberi (not beriberi caused by fungal infection in our feet), which is a serious disease of nervous system and heart system; Vitamin B2 deficiency can lead to oral ulcer, dermatitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis and so on.

The cooking methods of rice in hotels are different. First, cook the rice to a semi-cooked state, then drain the rice with a sieve, cool it with cold water, and then steam it in a steamer.

Why is the rice in big hotels so delicious? It's not the difference between rice. Listen to what the chef says.

We usually eat out when friends get together, and the food in the restaurant is particularly fragrant. Every time I cook rice, the taste is very ordinary. I thought that the quality of the rice I bought was not as good as others, but I accidentally learned that what the restaurant bought was not as good as what we bought ourselves, so the fundamental problem is not the quality of the rice, but also the practice.
