Wild Rice

Introduction to wild rice stem knowledge

Zizania latifolia is a common aquatic vegetable. It is the spindle-shaped fat part of the tender stem of the grass plant Zizania latifolia stimulated by Zizania latifolia smut. The edible part of Zizania latifolia is the underground tender stem that swells at the base of its flower stem. It is native to China and grows in lakes and marshes. It is cultivated in most parts of the country and is available in autumn.

The outer leaf sheath of wild rice stem is green, and the inner part is three-section cylindrical. It is yellow-white or green-yellow in color, with tender flesh, little fiber, and high protein content. However, it contains oxalic acid, and eating too much will affect the body's absorption of calcium. Wild rice stem is a specialty vegetable in my country, and is known as one of the "three famous dishes in Jiangnan" along with water shield and sea bass.

Because of its tender texture and sweet taste, it is regarded as a top-quality vegetable. It tastes even better when stir-fried with meat.

Features of wild rice stem shredded pork

The organic nitrogen in young wild rice stems exists in the form of amino acids and can provide sulfur. It is delicious, has high nutritional value, and is easily absorbed by the human body. According to Chinese medicine, wild rice stems have the effects of removing heat, quenching thirst, and promoting diuresis, and are particularly suitable for consumption in summer. Wild rice stems can relieve jaundice and promote lactation, and are beneficial for jaundice-type hepatitis and postpartum milk deficiency. Wild rice stems are rich in vitamins that have the effect of fresh wine, and have the function of sobering up.

1. Cut wild rice stem and bell pepper into shreds.

2. Add appropriate amount of Lee Kum Kee steamed fish soy sauce and a little starch to the shredded pork and marinate for a while.

3. Heat the pan with cold oil, add the shredded pork and stir-fry for a while before serving.

4. Heat the pan with cold oil, stir-fry the bell pepper shreds, add salt, then add the water bamboo shreds. When the water bamboo shreds are slightly softened, add the stir-fried shredded pork. When the water bamboo shreds are completely softened, it is ready to serve.

Because wild rice contains more oxalic acid, its calcium is not easily absorbed by the human body. People with kidney disease, urinary stones or more oxalate crystals in urine should not eat too much.

How to cook Braised wild rice stem

1. Peel off the skin of the root of wild rice stem and cut into small pieces.
2. Put a proper amount of oil in the pot, add wild rice stem, stir-fry over low heat, and fry slowly until the surface of wild rice stem is wrinkled. This step is the key to deliciousness.
3. Add a little soy sauce, sugar, salt and star anise and stir well.

4. Add a little cooking wine and a little water, cover the pot, and simmer over high heat for 8-10 seconds.

5. Add a few drops of sesame oil before serving

Tips

1. For this method of making wild rice stem, the "frying" step is very important. Be patient and fry it slowly over low heat until the surface is wrinkled, which makes it easier to absorb the flavor. It's a bit like frying braised pork first to force out the oil in the fat.

2. Just add a little water, otherwise it will become boiled water bamboo. Simmer on high heat for 8-10 seconds.

3. Sugar and light soy sauce can enhance the flavor. You don’t need to use too much. A little light soy sauce will make the color look better and give you a meaty feeling.

Colorful wild rice stem

Material

5 wild rice stems, 1 green pepper , 2 red peppers , 5 slices of purple cabbage , 2 eggs

practice

1. Cut some of the ingredients into shreds, and cut the eggs into shreds after they are spread into egg skins.

2. Add green and red peppers, wild rice stems to the pan in order. Stir-fry until soft, then add purple cabbage and shredded egg skin. Pour in the sauce, mix well and serve.

Tips:

We mostly eat purple cabbage raw. It will taste bad if it is over-fried, so just stir-fry it slightly at the end.

Because purple cabbage is very easy to be stained, if you don’t want the white water bamboo shoots to be stained purple, this dish should be stir-fried and eaten quickly. If you are entertaining guests or eating it later, you can replace the purple cabbage with black fungus. The method is similar, but the order of putting them in the pot is changed to green and red peppers, black fungus, then water bamboo shoots, and finally shredded egg skin.
