Chapter 691 Overnight Rice
He was planning to go to the county town tomorrow to teach people about fried rice with eggs. Bai Shuiliu made another dish at home and invited everyone at home to have a taste.
It looks no different from ordinary fried rice, with the same white rice, yellow egg flakes, red diced carrots, and green diced garlic sprouts.
Several children have been eating fried rice for several days, and now they are also a little uninterested.
But when they thought about the cooking competition involving Bai Shuiliu, the four children managed to cheer up and each scooped some fried rice from the plate to eat.
After taking a bite, the expressions of the four children suddenly changed.
“Do you think the fried rice tastes better this time?”
“Well, yes, it tastes better than the fried rice I had before.”
“Sister, is your fried rice different from the usual ones? Why is it so delicious...”
Gu Yunxi, Bai Lixia, and Bai Zhuye surrounded Baishuiliu and started talking.
The white rice and beans on the side didn't say anything. He just silently took the spoon and scooped some rice from the plate into his own bowl.
Baishui Liu pursed his lips and smiled, "This is the fried rice I made. It's almost the same as usual, but this time I use overnight rice instead of freshly steamed rice."
"Overnight rice?" Gu Yunxi was a little surprised, "Won't it go bad?"
“No, I put it in the basin to keep it cold so that the rice won’t go bad. The overnight rice is a little dry, and it will taste better when paired with these seasonings and eggs.”
Bai Shuiliu smiled and looked at Su Mulan eagerly, "Mom, how do you like the fried rice I made this time?"
"Very good." Su Mulan agreed very much and nodded repeatedly, "It is very important to think of using overnight meals. It seems that my Shuiliu is both talented and attentive to cooking. Mom thinks this time the competition , you must be fine."
Su Mulan knew from the beginning that overnight rice was more delicious when made into fried rice, but she did not tell Bai Shuiliu directly. When she tried the fried rice made by Bai Shuiliu, she mentioned that the fried rice tasted a bit soft and sticky, and the rice grains were not so smooth. The texture is not chewy enough and the taste is superficial.
While pointing out the shortcomings of this fried rice, I also gave Bai Shuiliu a hint.
This can also be regarded as a subtle test for Su Mulan to Bai Shuiliu, asking her to study hard, think of solutions, and even try over and over again to finally achieve the goal she wants.
This is something you must have as a cook and even on your growth path.
"Um."
Seeing that Su Mulan also agreed with the egg fried rice she made, Bai Shuiliu grinned and nodded excitedly.
Gu Yunxi on the side was eating the delicious fried rice. After thinking for a while, he tugged on Bai Shuiliu's sleeve and said, "Sister Shuiliu, this cooking competition is about using fried rice. Then it will be... Doesn’t it have to be done on site?”
"I remember that I was told to bring fried rice with me. For the first round, I didn't prepare a stove, spatula and ingredients. Tomorrow, I'll fry the rice at home and then take it to the county town." Bai Shuiliu replied. .
"It takes more than half an hour to take this from home to the county town. I'm afraid I'll have to queue up again when I get to the county town. Calculating carefully, I'm afraid it only takes about two hours. This fried rice will be ready by then. Isn’t it cold?”
Gu Yunxi asked in confusion, "Would it taste bad if the fried rice is cold?"
