Chapter 913: A Home-Cooked Restaurant on the Verge of Closure (3)
"Those who say that overnight rice fried rice is good are lazy.
They are also people who are not good at cooking.
The reason why they use overnight rice to fry is because the overnight rice is relatively dry, and it is easier to separate when stir-fried, and it seems that the rice can be separated.
What does this mean?
This means that they don't know how to cook.
Your rice is not cooked well, the water is obviously a little too much, and the rice is not much dry overnight. ”
Qiao Mu complained while explaining.
complained that her son's rice was not cooked well.
"Mom, what's so important about this, and isn't it easy to stick when fresh hot rice is fried?
I've been a chef for decades.
You won't even be able to cook food in your mouth. ”
Zhang Xijun was helpless, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that his wife seemed to only play verbal skills.
Take pleasure in belittling him.
Qiao Mu turned his head and glanced at him and asked:
"Since you know how to cook, then tell me how many kinds of rice there are, don't talk about the varieties of rice, just talk about the big classification of rice, and what are the characteristics of different rice, and how to cook those classified rice."
"Ah, is there still a classification of rice?
Isn't it just round rice and long rice?
And glutinous rice? ”
Zhang Linyu, who had been watching on the side, was a little confused, what kind of classification can this rice have, except for the long round and glutinous rice, there is nothing else.
"It's true to say that you don't know how to learn.
What long round.
That's called indica rice and japonica rice, Mom, this can't help me, there are three kinds of rice, indica japonica rice and glutinous rice, but glutinous rice itself can also be divided into glutinous indica rice and glutinous japonica rice, so there are four kinds of it.
Japonica rice is round, the taste is more sticky, it is more suitable for cooking porridge, and the taste of cooking rice is relatively soft and glutinous.
It is suitable for normal consumption of middle-aged and elderly people.
Indica rice is a long strip of rice with a hard taste and a general taste of porridge, which is more suitable for home-cooked fried rice.
Needless to say, glutinous rice is more sticky.
Hardly suitable for fried rice, adding a little to the porridge can make the porridge more slimy.
However, the habits are different in different places, and the local growers here are basically japonica rice, so I also use japonica rice for cooking, that is, the logistics are relatively smooth now, and more than ten or twenty years ago, some of us may not have seen indica rice at all, and we know that japonica rice and glutinous rice are two kinds.
I'm right, what's this?
Can I still not understand rice as a cook? ”
Zhang Xijun first glanced at his son.
Then he was very confident, and he looked at Qiao Mu with a vibrating voice and talked about his understanding.
"Don't say that your son doesn't learn and can't learn, do you think you're so good? It's true that there are only three or four big categories, but can't you divide them a little more finely? Is there only one kind of japonica rice, and is there one kind of indica rice? ”
While speaking, Qiao Mu had already beaten the egg liquid in the bowl and put it aside.
Zhang Xijun was a little puzzled and puzzled:
"Mom, don't you embarrass people, how to divide it again, do you divide it into Changjing No. 1 and Changjing No. 2, don't you say that it is not divided according to the variety?"
"I didn't say I wanted you to divide them by variety!
Is indica japonica rice planted for one season?
In some places, indica and japonica rice are planted in summer and autumn, and in some places, three seasons can be planted, and the rice harvested in summer is the same as the rice harvested in autumn? Is it the same as the rice harvested in winter? The same kind of rice harvested in different seasons has a different taste.
Although now there are fewer planting three crops.
But there are two seasons of that.
There is a big difference between early rice and late rice, can the rice harvested in summer be compared with the rice harvested in autumn, that is, of course, the rice in autumn is more in line with the season, and the maturity and growth time itself is also higher and longer.
Moreover, even if early rice and late rice have the same amount and the same variety, you have to put water differently, even if they are both the same dry, the water contained in the early rice itself is a little less than that of late rice.
So put a little more water when cooking.
Put a little more water than late rice.
You look at the rice you cook in, this is obviously late rice, and then you put too much water, fried rice, if you want to fry deliciously, it's better not to use either early rice or late rice.
It is best to choose single-season rice, that is, rice that is only planted once a year, and it cannot be a hybrid variety.
Tomorrow you will come with me to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
By the way, buy rice, I will teach you how to choose.
Shut up for now and watch me fry rice. ”
Qiao Mu kept talking a lot, and soon prepared some steps that needed to be prepared in advance, and officially ignited.
Then pour the oil and add the chopped green onions.
After waiting for a few seconds and waiting for the oil to be hot, I poured the eggs in and stir-fried them for a while, and then poured the rice down when the eggs were half-cooked.
Start tossing the pan to decim the rice, stir-fry and add salt.
After three minutes, the egg fried rice is ready.
The rice is separated by grains and dotted with sparsely chopped egg drops, which is very different from the egg droplets that some restaurants pursue to wrap the rice in separate pieces.
That kind of rice looks good, though.
But Arbor didn't like it.
Because people with a very sensitive tongue taste eat, the operation step of putting the egg first and then putting the egg will make a part of the extremely subtle egg smell wrapped in the rice, of course, this part of the egg smell is not eaten by ordinary people, and it will not feel bad when eaten, after all, the taste is too subtle.
It's obviously worth it to let go of this subtle flavor and make the fried rice look more pretty.
Still, Arbor still didn't like it.
To eat it yourself, of course, you have to pursue the perfection of the taste, and the egg drop garnished with rice is not necessarily unsightly, but it is just a different direction.
"Mom, can I try it?"
Zhang Xijun saw that Qiao Mu had already put out the egg fried rice, and hurriedly wanted to try it first.
Judging from the operation steps just now, his wife's craftsmanship should be good, and there is no dark seasoning in the process, only a little salt.
So, this meal shouldn't be unpalatable.
"Taste it and see how it differs from you?
Then, let me know what you think! ”
Qiao Mu said as he took off his apron.
Although it was just fried rice, she didn't want to get too much smoke on her body.
On the other side, Zhang Xijun, who got permission, immediately took a spoon, scooped a spoonful of freshly baked egg fried rice into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and the same was true for his son on the side.
In the entrance of fried rice, the bounce and light aroma burst out of the relatively alienated taste of egg drop and rice, which tastes exceptionally comfortable, as if it should be so, and the faint salt flavor stimulates the unprecedented natural flavor of rice and egg drop.
It was not until this time that Zhang Xijun knew the true meaning of salt as the first of all kinds of flavors, and they had gone the wrong way in their catering industry, and in their current catering industry, MSG was the first of all flavors.
Salt is only used as an adjunct.
No matter what name is changed, what essence is changed to essence of chicken, MSG glutamate glutamate anna is the main ingredient of those seasonings after all, just with a different name.
"It's really delicious, Dad, it's more than ten times more delicious than your fried rice, and I'm willing to pay five pieces for your fried rice."
Grandma's this fried rice.
I'm willing to give fifteen anyway. ”
Although Zhang Linyu majored in Western food, this does not mean that he has a problem with his tongue, whether the food is delicious or not, and the taste is still delicious.
