Staple food is usually relative to non-staple food (dishes), and this kind of food product is the main food that people must have every meal. Influenced by natural conditions and eating habits for thousands of years, the vast majority of residents in China have always regarded cereal and wheat as the main source of nutrients, so staple food is more important than non-staple food. In this way, "if you have food in your hand, don't panic in your heart" will naturally become a wise saying.

Speaking of staple food, some people think it's just rice, steamed bread and the like. The variety is monotonous, the method of making it is simple, and everyone can cook it. In fact, the range of staple food is very wide, which includes both rice porridge products made from different Gu Mi and pasta products made from various kinds of grain flour, with thousands of varieties of colors. In terms of food products, there are not only white rice prepared by different methods, such as stewing, steaming, boiling and stewing, but also various kinds of rice made by adding seasonings and ingredients to rice. The variety of pasta is even more colorful. People often eat steamed bread, flower rolls, cakes and noodles, and there are already many colors. In addition, there are countless varieties of exquisite and delicious staple foods such as steamed buns, jiaozi, Shao Shao, wonton and cakes. The superb skills of our ancestors in creating hundreds of delicious staple foods not only gave valuable cultural heritage to future generations, but also brought benefits to future generations.

In production, although the staple food is not as complicated as dishes, it also has high technical requirements. The catering industry calls this "white case technology", which is listed as two major technical jobs in the catering industry together with the "red case technology" for making dishes. There are a lot of knowledge and tricks in the simple production of white rice in staple food production. For example, if the ratio of rice to water, the degree of heat and the heating time are not properly mastered, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of moderate hardness, softness and refreshing. The technical content of making pasta is more and more difficult, which involves a series of technical problems such as dough mixing, dough preparation, processing and forming, stuffing preparation, heating and ripening. For example, noodles can be made by cutting noodles, pulled noodles and Daoxiao Noodles 10.
