Paoba (rice cake), a Sichuan and Chongqing specialty snack

Sichuan and Chongqing Paoba is a local specialty in the streets and alleys. When the steamer is opened, white steam wrapped in rice fragrance fills the whole street. It is soft when eaten hot, with fine pores like a sponge full of water. The rice fragrance is mixed with a slight sourness, and the aftertaste is sweet. After cooling thoroughly, it has a firm and chewy texture, the sourness is clearer, and the sweet aftertaste is also prominent. It is just right~ Compared with the sweetness and firmness of Lunjiao cake and white sugar cake, I personally still like the sweetness and softness of Paoba~

Homemade slow-cooked fragrant brine

I really can't eat the braised dishes sold outside. I tried a Chaoshan bagged marinade that was popular on the Internet before, but the greasy smell was too strong when it was cooked, and I couldn't get used to it. It seems that you can't be lazy when making braised food. It's still more reliable to carefully prepare a pot of marinade yourself. After each braising, carefully filter out impurities, boil it, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator for the next time. Why does the old braising become more fragrant as it is braised? First, the protein, amino acids, and fat of the ingredients will melt into the sauce during the braising process, and the flavor of the spices will be released repeatedly. Under the interaction, the taste becomes more and more intense and the layers are richer; second, the more times the braising is done, the spicy aroma of the spices in the marinade and the umami flavor of the ingredients will gradually balance and stabilize, and the braised food will naturally be more mellow. You should also pay attention to the storage of the old braising: filter and boil it for sterilization after each braising, seal it well and refrigerate or freeze it. It is recommended to use it within 1-2 weeks, and it is best to boil it again once a week for sterilization to prevent deterioration.

Every bite is so fresh that it makes your eyebrows jump. The aroma of the two fresh things colliding in the pot goes straight to the tip of your nose. The richness of the kidneys and the freshness of the shrimps are intertwined, and with some scallions or red peppers to enhance the flavor, it is so delicious that you can't stop eating with your chopsticks~
