How are fried foods cooked?

When it comes to fried food, the first thing that comes to mind is fried rice cakes, which are crisp and refreshing, soft and sweet, and full of childhood memories.

Speaking of fried rice cakes, I remember my mother often accompanied me to the countryside when I was a child. I have to eat fried rice cakes at 50 cents for lunch. I stayed by the vendor's pot, exposed to the hot sun and dusty, which never stopped my love for fried rice cakes. When the stall owner closed the stall, I was still unfinished. I touched my stomach, thinking that if there is, I can still do it.

Although I had a good meal, I felt sorry for my mother's tightly clutched RMB. If you don't want to eat for a day, you will spend all your meal!

I didn't know until I grew up that the money in my mother's hand was hard-won, just like the process of making fried cakes, which was difficult and complicated!

Fried rice cake is an ancient folk craft in Guizhou. In that era when machines were not popular, a small hand-fried rice cake needed at least six processes.

Leave me alone, but listen to me:

First, when the autumn rice is ripe, it needs to be threshed in a bucket and then dried;

Secondly, the dried rice is shelled through the nest. There is a proverb called: artificial rice washing is sweat! You can see how easy it is. After hulling, rice grains are separated from rice husk with dustpan and sieve;

Thirdly, with the glistening glutinous rice, the next step is to soak it in warm water overnight, and then wash the rice (the purpose of washing is to ensure that the made Baba is whiter and more appetizing. ) then put it in a wooden bucket on the fire and steam it.

Fourth, pour the steamed glutinous rice into a wooden basin or a stone basin and beat it with a wooden stick until all the rice grains are mashed and become sticky.

Fifth, in the process of Baba, you need to make bean paste at the same time. Bean paste is the best "appetizer" of glutinous rice Baba. If it's not cooked well, no matter how good Baba is, it's not delicious. After the bean paste is ready, it is the process of packaging. In order to look good, packaging is the most important, which tests the craft very much. Few people will buy it if the packaging is not good.

Sixth, the wrapped Baba can only be called bean paste Baba, and it needs the last process-frying to become fried Baba. This process is also very particular. You should choose the best rapeseed oil to ensure that the fried rice cake is full of color, flavor and flavor. At the same time, we should also master the temperature. It is easy to paste when the fire is big, and it is easy to stick to the pot when it is small. To be "tender outside and crisp inside" is not a one-off event, and it needs repeated attempts.
