Do you know what to pay attention to when cooking?

Traditional rice is nothing more than steaming and boiling. This process is also an important part of nutrient loss. Washing rice consumes nutrition. Most families wash rice before steaming, and vitamin B is water-soluble and distributed on the surface of rice, so it is easy to slip away with the rice washing water. For standard rice, the loss of vitamin B 1 can be as high as 20 ~ 60%. Now that the rice is clean, it can be washed once or twice. Rice varieties do not need to be washed many times. However, Taomi loses its nutrition, but it will improve its taste.

Rice will taste better if washed several times. So the canteen likes to cook steamed rice. Generally, when protein and mineral content are low, rice tastes better. If you can make up for the loss of nutrition in other ways, or don't eat white rice often, you might as well wash it several times. Heating will lose vitamins. When cooking, heating time should be as short as possible. There are two main methods: soaking rice for about half an hour before cooking; Cooking can volatilize chlorine from tap water, reduce the damage to vitamin B 1, and cook faster.

Adding alkali destroys vitamins. Adding alkali to porridge is very common in northern China. People think that porridge with alkali tastes better, but they don't know that it will completely destroy vitamin B 1 and vitamin B2 and folic acid. Steamed rice with fish has lost its nutrition. In some places, people like eating rice. Boil the rice first, and then steam it until it is half cooked, because it tastes better. Others like to pass cold rice with hot water and then pour out the soup. All these practices will cause up to 50~70% loss of vitamins.

In fact, the loss of nutrients and flavor substances in bowl steamed rice is the smallest, while the loss of vitamin B 1 exceeds 70%. However, there are many cooking techniques that will not destroy the nutritional value. For example, soaking rice for half an hour before cooking can make the rice full and crystal clear and improve the taste; Putting half a spoonful of oil when cooking can make the rice taste tougher, shiny and fragrant; Adding a few drops of lemon juice when cooking can eliminate the stale taste of rice; For example, when cooking, put a few dates to make the aroma of dates increase the charm of rice and so on.
