When you think of popcorn, what is your first reaction? Cinema popcorn package, or directly exploded in your own microwave?
The image comes from the Internet
The old Chinese popcorn machine is an ancient popcorn machine, and the loud "boo" of popcorn is the childhood memory of many Chinese.
The last time I saw vintage popcorn was when I was a kid, and I could start "boom boom boom" with a stove on the street. The master was pulling the bellows while shaking his hand, and after a few minutes, with a loud "boo" sound, a cloud of white smoke rose up, and the hot popcorn filled the entire pocket, and each piece of rice was taken out to play its own advantages to the fullest, and the white and full look was simply too tempting.
Today's children, in the face of a variety of snacks, but rarely have the opportunity to participate in the process of making snacks, it is more difficult to appreciate the feeling of no snacks to eat, the joy of eating popcorn, is from the bottom of the heart, is the carnival of taste buds, is the greatest respect for food, and has a sense of eager expectation.
Today I decided to look for memories from my childhood and make an issue of popcorn.
First of all, to facilitate the ignition, I prepared solid alcohol.
After the stove is installed, add fresh and plump rice, and then rotate the stove tightly, be sure to pay attention to safety!
A small black pot with an oval "belly", coupled with a few bent supports of discarded steel bars, began the "love drop magic circle" at this moment.
When the small black stove is warmed up to about the same time, the highlight comes. In memory, often at this time, there will be a group of children around, they have been waiting for a long time, the master shouted: "Get up!" They covered their ears and began to greet the loud carnival after the grain burst into bloom. The "sound" of popcorn is full of ritual, and traditional cereals have become a popular street memory under the action of physical high temperature and high pressure.
Popcorn without sugar has no soul, and making your own maltose has a sense of ritual in life. Add water, glutinous rice flour and malt powder to the pot, and stir with a particularly large "spoon" to make the most authentic maltose.
After boiling, multiply and filter to make the taste more delicate and lubricated.
After filtering, put it into the pot again, and keep stirring with a spoon to avoid sugar scorching, and avoid sticking to the pan, it looks like maltose has a "prototype".
When the maltose appears dirty orange, it means that it is time to come out of the pot.
First stir-fry the fried rice in the pot for a while, and then add maltose, the two carry out deep "contact", flexible collision between each other, this step to be patient Oh, let the maltose fully distributed on each grain of rice is a difficult thing, but this is not difficult for the little genius me!
The final step is to cut it into small pieces, so that the rice candy (called differently in each place) is complete
Coke may be late, but it will never be absent.
Be my little princess and support the rice candy without suffering. Would you like to?
