The Thrilling Dare of Scorched Rice
- smbv 5y agoFun article, but too much filler (ie history of rice, etc)
- aerostable_slug 5y agoSounds a bit like an out-of-towner's review of a Mission Burrito.
- scrumbledober 5y agosome people think of rice as filler, others (like me) really enjoy rice.
- viksit 5y agoI’ve had a chance to eat a few great persian tahdigs and korean dolsot bibimbop bowls and really enjoyed the nutty rice flavors from scorching it. But I’ve always found it interesting that Indian cuisine alone amongst asian cultures (afaik) still does not consider scorched rice a delicacy. The most favored portions of biryanis and pulaos are still the fluffy parts. I wonder why some cultures developed this and some actively didn’t?

- rectang 5y agoTip: Scorching fried rice can help to achieve a poor man's "wok hei" on an ordinary consumer stove top (as opposed to an industrial kitchen gas burner putting out several thousand BTUs). When the fried rice is nearly done, stop turning it. Wait N seconds (for my stove top, that's 45). Toss and repeat for a total of 3 or 4 scorchings. (Something like this may be covered in the article, but I can't read it because of the paywall.)
