Why are the meals cooked in some hotels so delicious? How are they cooked?

Hello! I'm Guoguo, and I'm glad to answer your question!

The rice in some restaurants is especially fragrant, crystal clear, with distinct grains and full flavor. Many people think that they are especially good at cooking rice, but they are not!

I have a cousin who runs a restaurant. The rice in their shop is particularly fragrant and popular, so the business has been very hot. They all use the most common rice. In fact, to make delicious rice, you don't need much good rice, you only need two things:

One is a barrel and the other is lard;

With these two artifacts, the steamed rice is really delicious, with a faint scent of Chinese fir and the unique aroma of lard, which makes it difficult to eat.

Let me share with you the specific practices:

Step 1: soak rice in water for more than an hour;

Step 2: Boil water in a pot, put it in a wooden bucket, spread a steamer cloth, pour in rice, cover it, and steam it in the wooden bucket (that is, white steam can be seen above the wooden bucket);

Step 3: Turn off the fire, pour the rice in the wooden barrel into a larger container, pour in boiling water of 100 degree, cover tightly, and stew for 30 minutes, so that the rice can fully absorb water (because the bottom of the wooden barrel is hollow, the rice grains will not be cooked without this step);

Step 4: Pour the rice soaked in water back into the barrel, smooth it, insert a few holes in the middle with chopsticks so that the steam below can pass through the rice grains evenly, then cover it and steam it in the barrel.

Step 5: Open the lid while it is hot, add a spoonful of lard, and stir well with a tablespoon. The delicious wooden bucket meal is finished!

Tips:

1。 You don't have to choose too good rice, just the most common one;

2。 Because the bottom of the barrel is hollow, it is recommended to spread a steamer cloth when steaming, otherwise the rice grains will stick to the holes below, which is difficult to clean;

3。 When steaming for the second time, you can put some sausages on the rice, so that the fat of sausages will penetrate into the rice, similar to lard. The cooked rice smells like sausage and is very delicious.

I hope my answer is helpful to you!

I'm glad to answer your question. I have had some experience in steaming rice in hotels, so I can share some practices.

1, the rice should be soaked for about 30 minutes first, and then washed repeatedly until the rice washing water becomes clear, so that the cooked rice has clear particles and rich taste.

Because the rice is soaked in advance, you should add less water when cooking.

After the rice cooked in the electric cooker is cooked, break it up and simmer for a while.

Finally, it needs to be reminded that vitamins B 1 and B2 contained in rice are all soluble in water, and excessive rice washing will lose most of them. For everyone's health, I suggest you wash it once or twice.

Expanding knowledge, lack of vitamin B 1 will lead to beriberi (not beriberi caused by fungal infection in our feet), which is a serious disease of nervous system and heart system; Vitamin B2 deficiency can lead to oral ulcer, dermatitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis and so on.

The cooking methods of rice in hotels are different. Cook the rice until it is half cooked, then drain it with a sieve, cool it with cold water, and steam it in a steamer.

Why is the food in the hotel so delicious? It's not the difference between rice. Listen to the chef.

We usually eat out at friends' parties, and the food in the restaurant is particularly fragrant. Every time I cook rice, it tastes ordinary. I thought the quality of the rice I bought was not as good as others, but I was surprised to learn that the rice bought in the restaurant was not as good as our own, so the fundamental problem lies not in the quality of the rice, but in the practice.
