Ye Fei finally said the name of the last dish he was going to make today—rainbow meatballs!
ball!
No matter which cuisine it is in, this kind of food is definitely a food that cannot be ignored, not only because of its small and cute appearance, but also its extremely delicious taste.
But the variability in making this kind of thing is very high. You can make it with Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and even other cuisines.
Just because the fillings wrapped in this delicacy are different, it also creates its diversity.
Beef meatballs, mutton meatballs, pork meatballs, fish meatballs, and even piss balls, vegetarian meatballs, mung bean meatballs, etc. It can be said that there are all kinds of weird and varied, and among these meatballs, the most famous one is probably the braised lion head.
Braised lion head, also called Sixi meatballs, belongs to Huaiyang cuisine. This kind of delicacy has been enthusiastically sought after by the majority of foodies since its debut. There is no way, this thing is so delicious, especially the combination of meat fillings. Topped with delicate diced mushrooms, one bite will make you fall in love with its deliciousness.
But what Ye Fei wants to make today is not braised lion head. Although he also wants to make it, he is not familiar with Huaiyang cuisine, and even if he makes it, it will probably be different, so he has to choose a dish that he is good at, Sichuan cuisine or Hunan cuisine.
Rainbow meatballs, this dish evolved from another type of meatballs, which were glutinous rice balls.
It can be said that the history of glutinous rice balls is very complicated. It can be found in Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and even several other cuisines.
Precisely because it appears in various cuisines, this delicacy is universal. People in many areas have eaten glutinous rice balls and like its taste.
The rainbow meatballs that Ye Fei made today are evolved from glutinous rice balls.
After saying that, Ye Fei went directly to the kitchen.
He glanced at the lockers and saw words already appearing on several storage compartments. He came directly to a storage compartment with only the word "rice" written on it.
Ye Fei opened the storage compartment and was a little dumbfounded because there were several different colors of rice in the storage compartment with the word "rice" written on it.
Red rice, yellow rice, black rice, white rice, green rice, purple rice, even blue rice, etc., there are exactly seven colors.
Seeing these rice, Ye Fei felt a little dizzy, because he used to be a chef apprentice and was very familiar with rice as an ingredient, but he really didn't know that there were so many colors of rice in the world. It was simply It's like a rice concentration camp.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Ye Fei opening the storage compartment, and everyone was very curious.
"Why is Ye Shen not moving?"
"Damn it, what is in that little grid? Ye Shen seems to be frightened."
"Eh~~~ I see that the word "rice" written on the storage compartment seems to be rice. There must be rice inside. But what kind of rice can scare Ye Shen so much that he can't move?"
"Ah, I really want to know what the hell is inside. Ye Shen, take it out quickly."
I am a migrant worker and an old man from Nanjiang also discovered something was wrong with Ye Fei. The two of them came to Ye Fei and were dumbfounded when they saw the contents of the storage compartment.
"Isn't it? There are so many kinds of rice?"
"It's interesting. In all my years of living, this is the first time I've seen green rice."
"Ye Shen, are these the ingredients that will be used soon? There are too many."
"It seems like this rainbow meatball is a bit interesting."
The viewers in the live broadcast room were browsing the information one by one, and eating all over the world, as a representative, shouted: "Ye Shen, what are the ingredients in it? Let us take a look."
Ye Fei didn't know where the invisible camera was, but he still turned around and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, and then started to take ingredients from the storage compartment.
As a result, everyone in the live broadcast room was speechless.
I saw Ye Fei starting to carry rice from the left bowl to the right bowl in the storage compartment.
"I'll go, there are four bowls. How much rice is in this?"
"Rainbow meatballs, I think there should be seven bowls."
"Seven bowls of rice are seven colors of rice. How is this possible? In reality, I have only heard of red rice, black rice and purple rice. So what are the origins of the other rice?"
"I don't know either. Ye Shen will definitely introduce them later and see where they are produced."
"Oh no, Ye Shen doesn't have to make this delicacy at all. I can't help but drool just looking at these colorful rice. It's so beautiful."
Sure enough, Ye Fei took out seven bowls of rice from the storage compartment and placed them on the table in a row.
Looking at the seven bowls of rice on the table, everyone in the live broadcast room knew that today's last dish was definitely extraordinary because it used too many ingredients.
After placing the seven bowls of rice, Ye Fei lightly scratched the edge of the bowl with his hand and said with a smile: "The rainbow has seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple, and our rice also has seven colors, white, red, yellow, purple, black, blue and blue! Yes, these colorful things you see are the rice we are going to use today, and let me tell you, if we talk about it specifically, they are glutinous rice."
Not to mention the seven colors of rice, it is already pretty good for ordinary people to see three colors of rice.
At this time, many people feel like they have stars in their eyes when looking at these seven colors of rice, because when these seven colors are put together, they look as beautiful as a rainbow.
"Ye Shen, do it quickly, I can't wait any longer."
"My mouth is watering. I really want to eat this kind of delicacy, seven kinds of rice. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"I like red rice. This is the rice from our hometown. It is a kind of glutinous rice, also called red rice. It is a good thing. It contains too many nutrients, including protein, dietary fiber, iron, copper, phosphorus, and vitamins. ABC, etc., are all trace elements needed by the human body, and this kind of rice can prevent cancer, promote blood circulation, and lower blood lipids. It tastes sour and sweet, and it tastes so delicious that you don’t want to eat it without it.”
"Uh~~~Sorry for my ignorance, why is this thing red?"
"The reason red rice appears red is because it is fermented by a red mold. This is the most authentic red glutinous rice. However, in order to sell the rice at a good price, unscrupulous traders in the market often use food coloring. Try not to buy rice dyed red, as eating too much is not good for your health."
"Do you know how to distinguish between true and false?"
"Of course, as a person from the hometown of red glutinous rice, if I can't even tell the difference, then why am I messing around? There are three main ways to identify real and fake red glutinous rice. First, look, second, soak, and three times, smell. Look at the color of red glutinous rice. Real red glutinous rice has a uniform and shiny appearance, while fake ones are rare. In addition, if you really can’t see it, you can pick it with your hands. Normal red glutinous rice will appear like scales when you press it. If the rice breaks when you press it, it is definitely fake red glutinous rice. The second step is to soak the red glutinous rice in water. After soaking the real red glutinous rice, the color of the water will appear purple or reddish. , even if you dilute it, it will usually still be this color, but fake red glutinous rice is different. After you soak it, the water will generally show the same color as red ink. That thing is dyed at first glance. The third is Smell, grab a handful of red glutinous rice, then breathe towards the red glutinous rice, and then smell their smell. The real red glutinous rice smells sweet and has no peculiar smell, while the fake red glutinous rice, on the contrary, has the smell of dye."
"Uh-huh, so complicated? Then the red rice used by Ye Shen..."
"Hell, you are Bang Chui? Do you still need to ask? Ye Shen makes delicious food for us. When has he ever used inferior ingredients? They are all top quality. I believe the red rice used by Ye Shen is definitely the best. Red rice."
"Sorry, I'm new here and don't know much about Ye Shen yet."
"Then just watch carefully. Ye Shen will definitely surprise you in a while."
At this time, Ye Fei also picked up the red rice. The introduction was similar to what the audience said, but there was one difference, that is, Ye Fei introduced the origin of the red rice.
The red rice he uses comes from the hometown of red rice, a revolutionary holy place - Jinggang Mountain!
The sunshine hours, air temperature and water temperature in this place are very low, and rice can only be grown once a year. Among all rice varieties, only red rice can adapt to this climate. The red rice produced in this place is also called Alpine Red.
It can be said that the high mountain red rice produced here is definitely the best among red rice!
After introducing the red rice, Ye Fei brought over a bowl of green rice. To be honest, if he had not come into contact with this kind of rice and learned about it, Ye Fei would not have known what this kind of rice was.
It's just that he has the system in his mind now. Since the ingredients are provided by the system, he has the information about green rice in his mind.
This kind of green rice has a nice name, Qing Qilin!
The reason why this kind of rice appears blue is because it contains something called anthocyanin, and the content is very high. Anthocyanin is a very strong antioxidant, which is beneficial to the human body and can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels. It can be said to be very good at improving the circulation system and improving the smoothness of human skin. Anthocyanins are most likely to accumulate when there is lack of oxygen and low temperature, so this kind of green rice mainly grows in cold areas of high mountains.
Ye Fei introduced it one by one. It can be said that every kind of rice is the best ingredient.
After quickly introducing several kinds of colorful rice, Ye Fei came to the locker and opened another storage compartment.
