Didn't you see the delicious rice candy cooked by your family in the countryside? Can you do it?

Old people in rural areas use traditional methods to make rice candy, which looks better and tastes better!

Speaking of popcorn, everyone should have eaten it, but few people know how to make it. Today, I was fortunate to see the production process of rice sugar without farmers. In fact, its main ingredients are very simple, namely glutinous rice and sugar. The glutinous rice should be steamed first and then dried. The dried glutinous rice is so shiny.

Then glutinous rice. In the past, when the rural conditions were not good, they were all fried. Now it's all fried, and the oil temperature must be high, otherwise the glutinous rice can't be made. Pour the rice evenly into the sieve, and soon you will see the swollen glutinous rice floating. When there are no bubbles, it proves that all glutinous rice is ready. Drain the oil and pour it into a large basin for later use.

This is a good glutinous rice, which can be called popcorn. Crispy and delicious! For such a big pot, guess how many Jin of glutinous rice is made, 5 Jin.

The next step is to boil sugar. This kind of sugar is rough. Put a small bowl of water in the pot, add sugar cubes, and when all the sugar melts, boil it over medium heat. After about 20 minutes, the sugar is already very sticky. But cooking sugar is also very particular, and there is a standard to what extent it is cooked. Prepare a bowl of cold water first, scoop some sugar into the water, and then save the sugar together. If the sugar hardens, knock on the edge of the bowl and make a clang, which proves that the water has evaporated and the sugar is ripe!

Next is the work of Aauto Quicker, which mixes the fried glutinous rice and sugar evenly. Because sugar hardens easily after leaving the fire, it needs to be quick.

Put the mixed popcorn into the mold and spread it out quickly. There are so many tools used in the middle. At first, it was a spatula. Then use chopsticks to disperse evenly. Then press it neatly with a hand dipped in water. Finally, press it with a glass bottle. One go!

Cut the pressed rice candy while it is hot.

The rice candy is baked! ! It's from Huang Cancan. It looks very nice. A bite is crisp and fragrant, and you can't stop eating it!
