Due to the location, many friends are reluctant to go, but it is exactly half of the canteen that teaches cooking.


Silver Star's rice eel is definitely a different kind:


First of all, compared to other homes, ginger is used as the main spice to promote fragrance and remove fishy, ​​while Silver Star isLemon leaves.The scent coming up from one end is completelyAnother style.


In addition, ta usesPearl Rice, And other homes generally use silk miao rice.


Therefore, if you go with the mentality of eating traditional Taishan rice eel, 200% will be disappointed.But if it is a "Southeast Asian style eel rice"This claypot rice will definitely surprise you.


First of all, the combination of lemon leaves and rice field eel is very clever.Go to fishy and freshBesides, it gives people a kind ofThe fragrance of spring all year round.In addition, pearl riceq play soft waxIt is what is lacking in silk rice. A bite in the cold winter is similar to the satisfaction of eating Japanese eel rice, you know.
