Rice is one of the staple foods of the Chinese people, and its influence is far-reaching.
However, many people around me think that rice priced at more than ten yuan per pound is too expensive, and have a negative attitude towards high-priced rice.
As a southerner who eats rice every day, I dare not agree with this and feel the need to play around with it.
In the past, we ate for the sake of eating, but now life is different. Why not try better rice?
Everyone has always ignored the quality of staple food. In fact, really calculate how much you can eat in one meal. Some people will buy meat that costs 20 yuan in your market and 30 yuan in the supermarket. But if it costs 5 yuan, some people will buy it.
It’s really rare to choose between 10 yuan rice and 10 yuan rice.
Nowadays, people eat a lot less rice than in the past, and the consumption of rice has also decreased a lot. Even if you eat 50 yuan a pound of rice every day, it will not cost you much in a month, and it may not be as much as you spend to buy fruits.
.
As the food that people come into contact with most every day, it is absolutely necessary to buy it well and be worthy of your stomach.
But what exactly is good rice?
What is good rice? To me, it should be rice with distinct grains, sweetness that can be tasted, just the right amount of moisture, and a refreshing aftertaste that sucks the saliva out of your mouth.
Thai fragrant rice is such a good rice.
As for the world-renowned Thai fragrant rice, counterfeiting is no longer a taboo issue. It is mixed with domestic rice or directly passed off as a fake.
If you want to find pearls in the eyes of fish, it is really a headache for ordinary buyers who eat melons.
I have summarized the following 2 points, which you can refer to when buying rice: First, let’s identify two important signs. One is the barcode, which must start with 88, which is the code of Thailand.
If it starts with 69, it means the rice is domestically produced or packaged. We cannot 100% say it is fake, but packaged rice has the chance of fraud.
So to be on the safe side, you should try to buy imported ones starting with 88.
One is the exclusive export mark of Thai fragrant rice. You must know that Thai fragrant rice is sold not only to China, but also to the whole world, so their standard system is very complete. Thailand stipulates that only when the purity reaches 92%, can it be eligible to be exported.
This mark.
Secondly, distinguish the authenticity through the rice grains. The picture above shows our southern indica rice, and the picture below shows Thai fragrant rice.
It looks very similar, but it's hard to tell.
Take a closer look at the two types of rice. Do you notice that the rice in the picture above is more slender than the rice in the picture below?
And in terms of color, the upper picture is more transparent, and the lower picture is a little whiter.
This is a comparison using relatively good domestic indica rice. The price of such good domestic rice itself is not cheap, so the rice mixed with it by merchants who sell it very cheap must have white spots.
So when buying rice, pay attention to the necessary labels and the condition of the rice grains, and you will be able to buy delicious rice!
Jinsuchen is produced in the northeastern part of Thailand. The river water contains a large amount of minerals and organic matter. It is abundant every day and provides the nutrients needed for rice.
No artificial additions, translucent and full.
Each grain is carefully selected, and the most nutritious part of the rice grain: the nose is kept intact.
Adhering to original imports and passing inspections from five continents (certified by Thailand), good rice will not disappoint everyone's stomach.
After choosing good rice, how to make delicious rice is also more important!
The ratio of good rice to water is generally between 1:1-1:1.2, so that there will be no bad taste due to too much water when steamed.
Secondly, if you have enough time before steaming the rice, you can soak the rice for 15-20 minutes, so that the water will be better integrated into the rice. Of course, most of the time, you will steam it directly when you come home from get off work in a hurry.
The best water is cold boiled water (no more than three days, anyway, I will have diarrhea if I drink cold boiled water for more than three days), the best is to use mineral water, the taste of steamed mineral water and cold boiled water is still better
Obvious difference.
Although it is a bit luxurious, it is still worth it for the delicious food.
Then you can put some sesame oil or sesame oil when steaming the rice, and the fragrant flavor will evaporate when the pot is opened.
If you like to eat sesame seeds, you can add some sesame seeds. It will also look good when cooked. I usually like to add some corn and hazelnuts. The combination of yellow corn and white rice is very appetizing, and the cereals themselves have high nutritional value.
Then just switch to normal mode to steam.
After steaming, you can use a spoon to stir the rice evenly, then enter the keep warm mode. After a few minutes, the rice will taste better.
Of course, if you like sesame oil, adding a few drops of sesame oil when steaming rice will also enhance the aroma of the rice. It is also a common practice.
Life is like this. As long as we pay attention, we will find some fun in ordinary life. As long as we change our thinking, we will get different results.
I think everyone who likes life and loves life will have some hobbies of his own, and I prefer to cook a table of my favorite dishes on warm days, listen to music, and feel the sharp blade cutting through the food.
This feeling is delicate and as warm as flowing water.
What kind of things are there to play with?
