Chau Hong Vo brown rice is produced by Le Quoc Viet hotel in Kien Giang. Photo: THU NGUYEN That rice rice is now searched on Google with only two pieces of information that are nowhere to be found. Ngo Van Ban wrote: “In the past, farmers did rice once a year, and there were crop failures in some years, so it was very important to store rice for eating. If the rice is not stored properly, or the rice rots or is damaged by floods, they will have to suffer hunger and thirst” (1). And by Do Do: “About 50 years ago, my hometown produced 1 rice crop a year, domestic rice varieties (Rice Gon Bot, Gon Se, Nang Huong…), long growing time, high energy. low yield, but resistant to pests and diseases, good drought, no matter what time of planting, wait for the cold north wind to blow on the new rice to flower” (2). Both of these information about Khanh Hoa rice are lame, but can be complementary: cotton rice is a weak photosensitive rice, only made at the end of the year to reap. It’s not like it’s waiting for the north wind to return like Mr. Do said. And Mr. Ban ignored the early rice crop that was done before the summer rice crop. While there was no god-nose rice, there were still local varieties of rice with shorter duration than cotton rice, even quite short days like three-moon rice. Only those rice varieties are not as delicious as cotton rice. When I “put my feet up” in the field, my hometown grew two rice crops – the god Nong rice crop and the six-month rice crop. There is no concept of winter-spring, summer-autumn, autumn-winter at all. It’s the South! Divine rice – a word that ordinary Vietnamese often confuse with Mr. Than Nong in China. The names of the men must not be confused, they must know that the name honors the agricultural profession – the sacred farming profession. The main occupation of the Vietnamese people in the past has been shaken until now. The time of the god of agriculture was also the beginning of the “green revolution” for which its father, Norman Borlaugh, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Until the land became “infertile” like the three-rice crop fields in Vietnam, no one thought, even the “conceptualism”, to give him the Nobel Prize. Red rice Cotton rice planted in the low foot fields is reaped before the wicker season. The foot of the fields that eat the water of the sky often grow melon rice. That red rice has completely disappeared. It is the type of rice that resists the north wind and also makes the growers lose their breath when they were still threshing rice, and was transformed by poets into “threating rice in the night of the moon”, the threshing machine of the land of ginseng yet. enter the South. The grain of rice loofah is very tough, once threshed, it cannot sing. Once, when the rice was in season, my grandfather from Tu Bong and Van Ninh brought it to Dong De, Nha Trang, and gave it to the family. At noon, having a separate meal, my brother and I wanted to cry why “what red rice did you eat today?”. I don’t know if the younger brother “goes back” to eat red rice anymore, but now in this world, red rice is not easy to get and eat, even if he wants to find it, he wants to cry. Bad news! When I grow up, I wonder why rice is so red. Yet there are many types of explanations, sales crap, and science. The ST Red Rice website explains: “The red color of rice is due to iron. When rice plants absorb iron in the soil up in the bran layer, that iron is iron stamen, colorless. When the rice is ripe, the red color gradually increases, through the drying process, iron stamen turns into iron tam to red, becoming a useful source of nutrients for humans” (3). People of science and technology are not “salty” with this explanation. However, the story of iron-rich red rice is the story of Ngoc Do Huong Dua rice, a specialty of Lap Vo district, Dong Thap province. The variety was born around 2015. According to the analysis results of Can Tho University, the iron content in this rice is up to 26.4mg/kg, equal to the iron content in 0.9kg beef. The quality of this rice is superior to Jasmine premium fragrant white rice. The question is, when will the world like to let farmers get rich? Before that, around 2013, a farmer in Oc Eo, Thoai Son, An Giang, restored red rice and named it Hong Ngoc Oc Eo 1, a type of seasonal rice that grows up to 9 months. After that, the author of the rice variety, teacher Danh Van Duong, continued to multiply and cross-breed to give birth to the variety Hong Ngoc Oc Eo 2, with a growth period of 150 days. At Oc Eo 3, there are only 100 days left until the quality of rice begins to be questioned! There is an explanation in favor of the genetics of the variety, saying that because the variety is rich in anthocyanin pigments, it is red. Anthocyanins are organic pigments of natural origin that exist in most higher plants and in some vegetables, flowers, fruits, and seeds with red to purple colors such as grapes, berries, cabbage, and cabbage. purple, perilla leaves, hibicut flowers, black beans, eggplant berries, glutinous rice, red rice… This explanation stands. Out of red rice to red rice The story of my two brothers crying when eating red rice is like that, recently, having a meal of broken rice with seasonal rice of Tu Viet, his son at home wondered: “What kind of rice is not white at all?” Saying that seems like a criticism, but eat like a tiger. Tu Viet broken rice is “born in heaven” broken rice, not broken rice that has gone through “beauty salon” by forced “breaking” method. It’s like the dwarves who dream of Snow White by stretching their legs. Broken rice in the season only needs a cup of mixed fish sauce that is both salty and sweet, a little salty and a little sweet, with pickles of radishes and carrots is enough to give a thumbs up. There is no need to “slack” anything between the “curfew time” of the epidemic season for the complicated “medical declaration” before entering the market or supermarket. Tu Viet, whose full name is Le Quoc Viet, is an agricultural engineer, an economic officer, and was almost “cut off” because of the “crazy season of rice”. Seasonal rice is generally a long-term rice variety that produces high-quality rice. Especially, the rice varieties for fragrant rice of Thailand and Cambodia are only grown in the foothills of the field for one crop to eat water. Once with his friend D.TC passing through the vast one-crop field of Cambodia, at the time of leaving the country, he seemed to say to himself: “Why doesn’t Vietnam teach Cambodia how to farm!” Unexpectedly, a little later, Cambodian rice won the world’s best rice award for three consecutive years from 2013. Back to broken rice season rice. It can also make another dish, porridge. Broken rice cooked with porridge is number 1, sausages of Huu Nghi sausages are number 1, the problem is that you can freely go to Ban Co market to find other delicious offal. Enough to have an “ecosystem” of porridge heart porridge than Cai Tac heart porridge far away. The story of broken rice in the season is still hot, and Tu Viet has launched a type of rice called Chau Hang Vo to the market. The people of this South are so strange, they run out of rice from Chau Hang Vo and then mango Chau Hang Vo. The name rice is read from Chau Hong shell – a kind of pink shell jade; Westerners used to call a grain of rice a pearl. The name mango is from Chau Nghe mango. Could it be that Ba Vuong farewell has been deeply ingrained in the daily life language of the people below? Tu Viet recounted: Recently, I met Ms. TK, who is originally from Can Tho, who only made Chau Hong-hulled seasonal rice. Mr. Viet quoted Ms. K. as saying: “I also like the name Chau Hong shell very much, but the people of Can Tho just like to call it Chau Hang Vo. When it comes to Chau Hang Vo rice, people immediately say that the rice is very delicious and doesn’t need much food. As I personally feel, eating rice is really healthy and strong like Mr. Xiang Vo, that’s why his grandparents called him Chau Hang Vo to emphasize the nature of the rice grain of heaven for the people of Can Tho. Rice cooked with brown rice in Chau Hong season is fragrant and flexible. Photo: THU NGUYEN The first time Vietnamese investment came to know about Chau Hang Vo’s seasonal rice variety was through the Soc Trang Rice Festival in 2011. The second time in 2018 through the story of an 82-year-old farmer, who used to work in shambles. The old man said that when he was young in the Miet Thu area, Kien Giang “has the Chau Hang Vo season rice variety with a characteristic aroma; If I go canoeing down the river, I will know when I pass a house that is cooking rice with Chau grade Vo rice.” Tu Viet worked hard to find seeds and bring them back to try. He said: “During the process of taking care of and cherishing the newly planted seeds, I found that the Chau Hang Vo variety has a slender, slightly elongated shape, most of the seeds have a swish tail, the husk is bright yellow but when soaked in water. It has a dark pink color because the bran layer (silk shell) is purple-red, if the bran layer is scraped, the rice grain is still light pink, not white like some other varieties. On Friday, after Ho Chi Minh City social distancing for 15 days, I received rice with many anecdotes from Tu Viet sent from Kien Giang. Rice consists of two types of brown and bran. Brown is dark red, milled rice is pink to yellow. Chau Hong brown rice with shell holds up to 2 countries, 1 rice is just cooked rice. While cooking with the rice cooker, the rice had a strong aroma. In the past, cooking with firewood must have a more unique aroma, especially when the water is boiling, open the lid of the rice cooker to check if the water is drained or not. The ancients still liked to save that “pearl milk” to nourish children and the elderly. Now, the “grandmother” of the rice cooker is better, but not like the old mother in the place of distilling rice water. Chau Hong brown rice has a soft, flexible shell. Eaten with braised pangasius slightly candy, above all delicious. Those who have the memory of the rice season are also rewarded with memories flowing from their hearts full of silt and nostalgia. You seem to be eating in the middle of the scene of planting, planting, harvesting, drying. Grinding and pounding rice. Scrubbing in the back garden to cook a pot of rice… (1) Ngo Van Ban, Traditional farming in the ancient land of Khanh Hoa, chapter IV (2) Do Do, Rice transplanting ceremony in Ninh Hoa, http://www.ninhhoatoday.net/stbkky78-1.asp (3) http://socrice.com/products/detail/32/gao-st-do

For example, recently, the research team of Dr. Dao Minh So, Head of Plant Breeding Department, Southern Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology, has just announced the successful breeding of a new rice variety SR20 with pinkish red color with many similar characteristics to the famous dragon blood rice variety. which has been lost. Share with PLO Dr. Dao Minh So said that in the process of breeding improved rice varieties, suitable for new farming conditions, the research team happened to create some colored rice varieties (pink, red, purple, black). . “Compared to ordinary white rice, this colored rice has a higher nutritional content thanks to these distinct colors,” said Dr. So. Red rice is being sold in the market. Photo: Quang Huy Talking more about this, Dr. So said, in terms of nutrition, colored rice is better than regular white rice based on two factors, namely seed characteristics and processing. “In terms of seed characteristics, compared to white rice, the nutrients contained in red, black and purple pigmented rice varieties will contain many biological micro-minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins and minerals. The antioxidant content of anthocyanine is higher… Especially in red rice like SR20, the iron content will be higher than that of ordinary rice,” said Dr. So. Regarding the processing process, he said: “During the research on the color rice line, I realized that in order to retain many nutrients, antioxidants and sweetness of rice, rice should only be processed into a milled form. and the bran part, also known as milling, our goal is to turn this rice line into a daily consumer product like normal white rice, so when we bring this rice to the market, we still recommend it. Enterprises need to follow the processing method, so that when rice is served, it still has to achieve the highest nutritional value. Colored rice usually contains more nutrients than regular rice. Photo: Nguyen Ha According to him, currently on the market there are many types of colored rice, but these types of rice are often processed into brown form, ie whole grain rice. “These types of rice contain a lot of nutrients, but the rice grains will often be hard, not porous like white rice, so when using it, consumers often have to soak, rub and then cook, to create softness, so they are also picky.” . However, he also noted that, with all kinds of milled rice still intact, it is often damaged and moldy, so consumers should only eat where it is and buy it there. At the same time, with the processing of rice with the bran intact, it is necessary to have a safe farming process, otherwise pesticide residues or fertilizers will remain in the bran layer, causing harm to people. used when in use.

That habit is also very close to nature and animals. This is how pigeons, storks, herons, and many other birds raise their young. The mother bird looks for food and temporarily swallows it into the kite, when she returns to the nest, she sees the baby birds’ beaks wide open and chirping, and then feeds them one by one. The image is very beautiful and rich in motherly love. There have been many realistic, touching photos and videos recording those scenes. At this point, I remember a very impressive passage of writer Mo Yan in his greatest novel: “Treasures of life”. In that novel, there was a mother with many children living in a time of famine, when she worked in a food processing factory, she secretly swallowed the corn kernels to fill her stomach, then when she got home, she stuck her hand out and vomited. in and out of a basin of water. Wash the corn and then the mother cooks for the children to eat so they don’t starve to death! It’s normal for Vietnamese mothers to feed their children rice for a long time, and I am the child who has grown up from those fresh pieces of rice. Rice with Vietnamese people is of course the most important food, like bread with Europeans and Americans. People eat boring rice all their life and never get bored. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are simply called “eating rice” because the most important and most important ingredient in meals is rice. Vegetables, meat, and fish are side dishes or sometimes sticky rice is present on the occasion of the New Year’s anniversary, it is called eating for fun, changing meals. To be able to eat rice for Vietnamese people means being healthy and feeling normal. If you can’t eat rice, it means you are sick or your body has abnormal symptoms. In the past, when someone was sick, people used to ask: “Have you eaten yet?”. The answer is that if you can eat rice, everything is better, the patient gradually gets better. Cooking is one of the most important skills that signals a child’s growth. In the past, every house cooked rice with a wood stove or more expensively with a charcoal stove. Cooking skills include measuring the rice in the jar, how many bowls, cows (tubes) of rice are enough for the family to eat, that is not counting the filling of cassava, potatoes or other things. Measure out the rice and put it in a bamboo basket to wash it clean. The rice washing operation involves stirring the rice in a bowl of water to remove the grains, gravel, husks or fat weevils that live parasitically in the rice, leaving the rice a little whiter. Put the rice in the pot, you also need to measure the water level so that it is just enough. Because less water, the rice is dry, more water, the rice is mushy. Children often dip their index fingers into the rice cooker to calculate the water level according to their mother’s instructions. Put the rice cooker on the fire or charcoal stove and adjust the heat to the right degree. If the fire is too low, the rice will take a long time to boil, the rice grains will swell up into small mountains in the pot, the rice will be bland and bursting. If the fire is too big, especially when it’s boiling, the rice will burn. When the rice is completely boiled, use chopsticks to stir it once so that the water and rice are evenly mixed and cooked easily. When the rice cooker is boiling, open the lid to prevent the water from overflowing and watching the bubbles rise is very eye-catching. When the water dries up, these boils leave small suckers like squirrel holes in the mud. Rice is a rather special processed food, seventy percent of the rice is cooked when the water is boiling, the remaining thirty percent is cooked by the heat when brewing. When the rice cooker runs out of water, take out some firewood to cook the rice. Charcoal to rhyme must also be enough, too much, the rice will be burned, but too little will be raw. When the child can cook a pot of rice that is not dry and not crushed, it is considered to have met the requirements. The skill of cooking rice is not done once or twice, but must be practiced, observed and experienced. If careless, subjective, it is easy to lead to the situation: Above live, below, and all sides are squishy! People also often ask each other’s children with the question: What does your son know how to do? Yes, I already know how to cook. “Know how to cook rice” is a very proud phrase and the children of the old days, both boys and girls, had to learn to cook rice. Cooking rice with a cast iron pot, a wood stove, is more fragrant and delicious. When the rice is cooked, remove the trays and bowls, the whole family sits around. As soon as the rice cooker is opened, the heat rises up like smoke, use bamboo chopsticks to beat the rice evenly and then pour it into each bowl for everyone. The person sitting at the top of the pot is usually the parent, when the children grow up, the oldest sibling takes that position instead of the parents. The person sitting at the top of the pot is very important because it is important to regulate the amount of rice for the whole family and divide it appropriately (basically, the rice is too little and sometimes a lot of cassava is stuffed to eat to fullness). The sentence: “Eat the pot, sit and watch the direction” also arose from this fact. If there is a father in the house who likes to eat burnt rice, the person who cooks the rice needs to perform a few more steps. In order to have a golden and crispy array of burnt rice, it is necessary to cook rice in a cast iron pot because cast iron is a good heat-retaining thing and is often molded thickly, cooking rice is very convenient. In order to have a delicious fire, when the rice is cooked, it is necessary to keep the amount of charcoal a little more incubated and maintain it for a longer time. The process of creating a fire is an art because sometimes the pieces are too thin, too young or burnt black, as well as having to choose the right type of rice. It is a genuine traditional burnt rice, not like the type of burnt rice that is made by machine, puffed and fried like now. Of course, the pleasure of having a crispy layer of burnt rice for dessert is only available in wood stoves and charcoal stoves. Now, cooking rice is so easy, there is a rice cooker, just put rice and water in the pot, plug in the power, press the button and you’re done. The rice cooker has been calculated and programmed, no need to open the lid to see if the rice is boiling or cooked. When the cooking process is complete, the rice cooker will signal and eat like that. A grain of rice that is treasured by a sun and two dew to work does not leave anything behind. The rice that is not eaten is called cold rice and can be roasted the next morning for the whole family to make breakfast. Fried rice requires eggs, a little bit of fat, a little onion, and fish sauce and is also the most popular breakfast gift of hard times. Now, fried rice has entered the restaurant as a familiar delicacy because very few people roast rice at home. If not roasted, then the cold rice will be the seat for the next meal, when the rice cooker runs out of water to suck the hole, pour the cold rice on top and steam it. If you do not want to do this, the excess rice can be dried in the sun, put in a sealed jar to save as dry food, when used, add a little sugar and fat to turn into a crispy, sweet snack to eat when you are sad. . Even if the rice is completely stale, people do not throw it away, it is used to raise batches, a very typical sour and sour condiment in Vietnamese cuisine, the taste is softer and more characteristic than vinegar. In the old days, almost every house had a batch pot in the corner of the kitchen, now many people cook sour dishes without giving them a batch as if the dish has lost a significant part. Although ordinary rice is common, it goes well with almost all other dishes. The poor eat rice with sesame salt, peanut salt, salted eggplant, crab soup. Even with a bowl of white rice, just sprinkle a little fish sauce and mix well enough to warm the stomach of the poor. More than that, eat rice with braised fish, spring rolls, spring rolls, soup, braised meat. If you have a bowl of plain rice in your stomach, you will be sure, working all day without worrying, thinking about other things. That’s why there’s a saying: “If you’re hungry, you’ll want sticky rice / If you’re full of rice, then stop all the way”. Sticky rice is the main food, the most important foundation in Vietnamese meals. People eat rice every day, so familiar that it is not necessary to remember when it came from and how to cook rice. Like that for thousands of generations, rice has become a close and indispensable friend of Vietnamese people. And isn’t the grain of rice like our parents?

Wishing you success!

The air fryer has become a miracle appliance in the kitchen, loved by many housewives. This tool can make many dishes from baking, frying, even baking. Fried rice is also one of the dishes that an oil-free fryer can handle quickly, without having to fry with a regular pan on the stove, especially on hot summer days. You only need to prepare all the ingredients and you will have a delicious dish in just a few minutes. First, you should use cold rice instead of hot rice. This is the secret of delicious rice roasting that applies to the usual way of frying rice. It is best to put it in the refrigerator so that the rice grains will shrink, when processing fried rice will be more delicious. Basic ingredients include rice, eggs and optional toppings such as green beans, sausages, carrots, smoked meat, onions… They are all prepared as usual: washed and cut into bite-sized pieces. In addition, you need to add cooking oil, soy sauce and chili sauce. You crack the eggs, beat well and mix into the rice, then add a tablespoon of cooking oil and mix again.
