Recently, the weather in Chongqing has always been cloudy and sunny. It will be warm and cold for a while. Although I have lived in Chongqing for more than 20 years, I am really unpredictable about the changing weather in Chongqing. The shining sun is really a luxury for Chongqing, where winter and spring alternate, and the common state is foggy. When the concept of PM2.5 was not so popular, we thought it was just fog. When PM2.5 became popular all over the country, we people in Chongqing suddenly realized that our ancestors had been in the fog for so long, and we could breathe in so much. Particulate matter, no wonder Chongqing people have a strong lung. (Welcome to share more interesting kitchen stories, please add WeChat EJM2467)
For this kind of depressing weather when foreigners come to Chongqing, (it’s no exaggeration that Chongqing has gray days in spring, autumn, and winter except for summer). The best cure for us in Chongqing is to eat hot peppers, Chinese peppers, etc. Wet food. Seven sisters, two gold bars, Chaotian peppers, chopped peppers, hot peppers; dried peppers, wet peppers; pepper noodles, pepper strips, and pepper segments; it is the kingdom of pepper on the tip of the tongue; the peppercorns are the most numb in Wenmao. Chili is basically indispensable to the dishes in the restaurant.
My family doesn’t like spicy food, but we have to eat spicy food in Chongqing. Why? Can people who can’t eat chili call themselves Chongqing natives? When I went to school in other places, because I couldn't eat chili, my classmates laughed and wondered whether I was from Chongqing. At that time, I was upset. Who said that Chongqing people must eat chili. When I got out of the kitchen, I realized that peppers are actually a treasure, and the dishes made are so appetizing. If you like chili, today’s rice loach is a healing dish. It is spicy and slightly sour, and the meat is soft on the outside and tender on the inside.
Rice loach is not a dish that actually contains rice, the rice here refers to a special cooking method. We Chongqing people make fish. There are two common methods. One is to put the cleaned fish directly into the soup of the saute pot in advance, and the cooked dishes are fresh and tender; the other is to use the fish in oil first. Fry until golden and hard on both sides, then return to the pan to cook, the dish will be soft and delicious.
The fried fish and loach will have layers of small bubbles on the surface due to the high temperature, and the volume will be larger than the original one. From a distance, it looks like the surface is covered with starch. I was unsuccessful the first time, and I will talk about the oil temperature must be high later), so I call it crispy rice. There are many types of rice crackers, rice crackers, rice loach, rice crackers eel, etc. As long as you want to eat, we Chongqing people can make it. No wonder people outside of Chongqing say that Chongqing people are delicious. I never mind when people say that we are delicious. Delicious has two meanings: one is to like to eat; the other is to eat. Eating is also a technical job, and it is not easy to know how to eat. When eating has become a way of cultivating one's nature, I secretly thought that the cool and hot personality of Chongqing people is probably related to the way of cultivating eating.
Okay, let’s not sell it anymore. After reading a bunch of pictures and text, my saliva flowed all over the place. Then let's take a look at how this healing rice loach is made today? "
