As the saying goes: "The dragon has nine sons, and has different qualities." As the saying goes, "There are different customs in a hundred miles, and the flowers have several reds." ”
"Fried rice candy is rice candy." This is a roughly plausible statement.
"Rice candy is a type of fried rice candy." This is a more nuanced statement.
No matter which way they say it, they all have the same function, they can be eaten cold and dry, they can be brewed into hot foods such as "fried rice sugar boiling water", and they can be transformed into "fried rice sugar boiled water".
Let's take a look at the similarities and differences between crispy rice, sand rice, and popcorn; and then look at the fried rice candy, or called "rice candy" everywhere, what are the differences in nutrition and what are the characteristics in human culture.
In terms of nutrition, crispy rice, fried rice, and exploded rice, although they are all puffed out of the rice, but due to different production processes, just as there are vaginal births, caesarean sections, and IVF, the three have significant differences in appearance, quality, taste, and nutrition.
Popcorn is formed by releasing extreme pressure differences through high-temperature and high-pressure containers, the material composition is destroyed at the molecular chain level, the internal structure and properties change, and the nutrient content is lost by more than half. Moreover, most of the old high-pressure converter containers, whose metals contain lead, are inevitably free of lead pollution in the contact between high temperature and high pressure and rice flowers. Therefore, popcorn is not only nutritionally deficient, but also harmful to the human body. Now popcorn, in order to pursue the taste, in the production of more saccharin, creamer and the like, the taste is good, but these additives after all coax people's mouths, not good for health. In the 20th century, after the West entered the era of electrification, this popcorn machine has become extinct in the West due to the concept of health. In China in the 1960s and 1980s, this kind of machine was also popular in China's urban and rural areas, but it is now rare, and it is only found sporadically in rural areas.
Gu Xinjun of Suji Town, Leshan, is frying rice flowers in sand, and he uses this rice flower to make rice candy
The sand stir-fried rice blossoms are not very full and white and not moist
Sand rice flowers use high temperature sand to blanch yin rice into rice flowers, which is a very simple way of puffing. Sand is easy to absorb heat, high temperature resistance, fast heat conduction, can make the goods heat evenly, to avoid the goods bonding. The fried sand that people use to fry rice blossoms varies from place to place, including river sand, stone sand, sea sand, salt sand, emery, coarse sand, fine sand and special granular round sand. Special granular round sand is widely used because of its excellent characteristics of high strength, high hardness, high wear resistance, large ratio, small size, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, pollution resistance, non-breaking, uniform sand turning, easy sieving and easy leakage. These sands need to be fried before use, and some will also sprinkle some oil or caramel roasting, commonly known as "practicing sand" or "treating sand", in this process to remove the impurities, odors and moisture of sand; until the sand oil smoke is exhausted, the color is uniform, the grains are loose and clean, and they are cooled and set aside.
When frying rice, put the appropriate amount of sand into the pot and fry it hot; then put in the appropriate amount of yin rice, constantly bury and stir-fry with hot sand, and after the yin rice is hot and burst into rice, sift off the sand and become fried rice.
Because there is no ultra-high pressure to destroy the molecular structure, the fried rice flowers retain the nutrition of the rice flowers well, and there is a unique sand stir-fried flavor. However, because the sand is always granular, although the rice grain is surrounded to the greatest extent, there is always a gap in the contact with the rice grain, and the heat cannot be directly penetrated through the rice heart, and the sand fried puffed rice flower still has the problem of uneven heat inside and outside, resulting in incomplete puffing. After the heat is slightly over, it is slightly scorched yellow, and if the heat is insufficient, the hue is miserable white; the character is crisp and dry; the taste is dry, and the entrance has a touch of drilling and mouth. Although the quality is better than popcorn, it is inferior to crispy rice.
Traditional crispy rice flowers are mostly puffed with lard or rapeseed oil and peanut oil. First put the grease into the pot, heat it to a certain degree of heat, pour the yin rice into the pot, and put the yin rice into the pot, only to hear a few "whoosh" sounds, that is, all of them are crisped into rice flowers. Scoop and dry to make the finished product.
Because the puff pastry rice flowers are puffed with oil and moistened by the oil, the rice blossoms are moist white, emitting the moist light of mutton fat jade; and because the puff pastry is in seamless contact with the yin rice in a high-temperature liquid, the puff pastry process is fast and rapid, and the nutritional components retain all the nutrients of the glutinous rice yin rice. And people who have eaten crispy meat and crispy fish and trevally know that the entrance of puff pastry food will make the mouth full of strong aroma; the rice flowers that come out of the puff pastry not only do not resist the mouth, but really have the taste of moisturizing the tongue and the slag in the mouth.
Compared with the three, the natural crispy rice flowers have the best appearance, quality, taste and nutrition.
In addition to the fried rice candy in the Bayu area, the process of stir-fried rice candy is also passed down in other regions. Such as Guangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, Two Lakes, Yunnan-Guizhou and so on. Second only to Chongqing, the shu land that is also in the Sichuan Basin may be counted, one is Pujiang County in Chengdu, and the other is Suji Town in Leshan.
Since Jiangjin invented rice candy, due to the glory of the word "rice candy", it sounds more beautiful and drooling, and many foreign fried rice sugar manufacturers also call their fried rice sugar products "rice candy". Some call it "Yin Rice Candy", some call it "Sesame Oil Rice Candy", and anqing's nickname for "Frozen Rice Candy" is also called "Rice Candy". In Xijiang Ancient Town, Tucheng and many other places, I have seen shops with "rice candy" signs, but in fact, they are "fried rice candy", or even coarse-grade fried rice candy.
In order to understand the similarities and differences between fried rice candy in these places and fried rice candy in Chongqing, the author conducted a special investigation on this topic and compared the purchase of physical objects, including Pujiang and Su Ji's fried rice candy with a formal registered trademark marked with the name of "rice candy". It turned out that there were still many differences between fried rice candy in other places and fried rice candy in Chongqing.
They may indeed be the primary form of fried rice sugar, using ordinary rice or even brown rice, some use red caramel, the color is scorched yellow is not beautiful, some belong to the sand fried rice flowers, some with the help of additives, some of the rice flowers are crushed rough process, some have few auxiliary materials or no auxiliary materials, and it is difficult to reach the quality height of Chongqing fried rice sugar in terms of quality. Moreover, all these workshops or manufacturers, their output is completely small spoons, the sum of all manufacturers outside Chongqing, the sum of fried rice candy, its market share is less than ten percent, and Chongqing's fried rice sugar production led by Jiangjin rice candy, in the national market, occupies more than 90 percent of the share. In front of Chongqing fried rice candy, they are not an order of magnitude at all, just like a child boxer standing in front of a heavyweight boxer.
Puffed rice flowers are crunchy and easy to digest, and can be used as a daily delicious snack, so that yin rice, which has high nutritional value but cannot be directly imported, has become a delicious and characteristic food snack "fried rice candy". In the form of "stir-fried rice sugar boiling water", it directly raises the yin rice porridge to a new grade and gastronomic height.
Unlike other places, the people of Chongqing have given fried rice candy a deeper cultural meaning. In the roar of "fried rice sugar boiling water", it has evolved into a unique humanistic culture, become a cultural symbol of Bayu Chongqing, become a landscape of the mountain city of Chongqing, and become a cultural bright color of Bayu Chongqing.

Before the Republic of China, as the historical existence of the Bayu region, the ancient fried rice flowers and fried rice candy boiled water reflected the richness of Chinese food, which was preserved and passed down in Chongqing, laying the groundwork for the birth of Jiangjin rice candy.
