When it comes to food, Chinese cuisine is second to none in the world. Chinese cuisine is not only a variety of dishes and a wide range of flavors, but also exquisite and complex. Today, we introduce you to a common home-cooked food in the south - rice tofu, although it also has the word "tofu" in its name, it is not really tofu, but a delicacy made of rice.
The preparation of rice tofu is a bit complicated, so when I was young, my mother would only make rice tofu during the New Year. First of all, soak the rice in grass and wood ash water, which can be done overnight; then the soaked rice is refined on the stone mill; then the rice milk is poured into the pot and cooked, this process is easy to paste, so you must constantly use a shovel to turn the rice milk along the bottom of the pot until the rice milk is all viscous. Then make the rice milk into a short cylindrical shape or a large cake (steamed and cut into small pieces), put it in a pot and steam it.
This kind of rice tofu made of grass and wood ash soaked rice, there are many ways to eat, stir-frying, boiling, etc., it is soft and tender to eat, and it also emits a unique aroma. Nowadays, people who are accustomed to eating big fish and meat come to a farmhouse meal from time to time, and that beauty is only understood by those who have eaten it.
Now the machine has replaced the stone mill, even in the countryside there are few people to make rice and tofu, want to eat no longer have to wait until the New Year, rush to buy, and the price is not expensive. Have you ever eaten rice tofu? What are your ways to eat there? Like the comments below...
