Рецепт BBQ Smoked Sausage with Rice
Akita Komachi
Rice:
One of the
two japonica rice varieties favored by the Japanese for sushi, along with koshihkari. Both types are not limited to
cultivation in Japan, and are grown in California and elsewhere.
American
Rice:
Technology that has eliminated the human labor factor
in rice growing, America is the world’s 12th largest exporter
of rice. Arkansas, northern
California and Texas are leading growers, with mega farms that use laser
technology from scaling the fields to removing broken grains from the milled rice. As opposed
to human laborers, fields are seeded by airplane, and harvested by a single combine
operator, followed by a tractor alongside it that receives the harvested rice
and delivers it to
waiting trailers. Most domestic rice grown, 60% is consumed domestically as
table rice, in restaurants
or into food products, made into beer, rice mixes and pet food. Some is exported as well, California
alone exports some 400,000 tons of rice to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in Asia; Syria,
Turkey and Jordan in the Middle East; and throughout the Pacific, South America and Europe.
Asian Rice:
Almost all of
the rice we use today originated in Asia, although rice is now grown in most
countries.
Bamboo Rice:
Bamboo rice
is short grain rice infused with fresh bamboo juice. It is moist and viscous
when cooked, lending itself to sticky rice.
Black Rice or
Forbidden Rice:
Black in color when raw, deep purple when
cooked, black rice was once reserved for the ancient Chinese
emperors, earning it the name “forbidden rice.” It has a nutty taste, you can detect chocolate
notes and is high in fiber. It is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals
such as iron, potassium
and magnesium. It pairs great with all cuisines and can be enjoyed steamed plain, in a pilaf,
stir fried or with salad. It makes a great Thai rice pudding with coconut milk.Unlike other black
rice from Asia, “forbidden rice” is not glutinous or rough. Chinese scientific research indicates
that black rice is beneficial to the kidneys, spleen, stomach, eyes and blood circulation.
Rice dishes
are easy to cook and economical.
