Chapter 693 Glutinous Rice Balls
Heiyanfeng and the others, "..."
"Why can't you stop yourself from crying?"
“It’s so delicious, so gentle and sweet, it reminds me of my first love QAQ”
A beautiful day starts with reminiscing about first love.
In fact, it’s not just first love. As the members of the tasting team taste more and more food, their feelings about the food also vary.
When someone was chewing on sweet and spicy duck feet, he thought of his wife who wanted to kill him when she was sweet, and wanted to kill him just as much when she was spicy.
When someone eats spicy strips, he thinks of those lonely nights, tossing from one bed to another, surrounded by beautiful women who are all different but equally hot and passionate.
····
Irene, the youngest beauty in the tasting team, thought of her mother who had passed away many years ago while eating instant rice balls.
The sweet black glutinous rice balls with the fragrance of grains may seem plain, but they have the taste of mother.
The rice balls are not big in size. Jianyan specially made them small to make it easier for everyone to eat. Basically, you can eat one in two bites.
Although the rice ball is small, it is heavy and solid, and also hot. The black surface is deep and attractive, which is the color of black glutinous rice itself.
It is also dotted with orange tender corn kernels and white rice.
Corn is not easy to dye, but cooked rice is different. White is the color that is most easily dyed. Naturally, these rice are dyed dark red by the color of black glutinous rice itself.
Because the grains of Empire's rice are large and full, the color after dyeing looks extremely bright and beautiful.
The combination of orange corn kernels and black purple glutinous rice creates an unexpected harmony that is very appetizing.
In fact, compared with spicy strips, meat jerky, dried meat, French fries, red bean cakes and other foods that win by appearance and fragrance, glutinous rice balls are very unremarkable in appearance, and at best they can be described as clumsy and cute.
Not only is the appearance not good, but even the fragrance is so soft and barely perceptible that you can't smell it unless you smell it carefully.
However, this small round ball, which is not outstanding in any way, gives people great surprise and experience after eating it.
When cooking rice, Jian Yan added some rock sugar and the finest private osmanthus honey given to her by Pangpang Xiong, making the rice balls sweet.
The mixture of glutinous rice and rice makes the rice ball moderately sticky, not greasy, and just the right amount of chewy.
When you take the first bite, the rich sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance that has melted into the rice grains rushes straight into your nose from your mouth. This is a smell that you cannot smell before the rice ball enters your mouth.
Only when you put it in your mouth, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus absorbed by the rice grains will burst out at the temperature of your mouth, long and distant, and just smelling it will make you intoxicated.
Take a deep breath, and it seems that all your internal organs are filled with the fragrance.
Chewing with teeth, whether it is the tender and sweet corn kernels, the slender black glutinous rice, or the round rice, all bring people an incomparable solid sense of satisfaction and happiness.
It seemed as if I saw before my eyes scenes of hardworking people harvesting a bountiful harvest amidst the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers that filled the entire city.
This is the joy of harvest, this is the happiness brought by delicious food.
The black glutinous rice balls, which look plain but are actually very refined, are not as overbearing as spicy strips, not as gentle and sweet as red bean crisps, and not as chewy as dried meat...
If the taste of the above-mentioned foods is extroverted, then the taste of rice balls is restrained.
