I am Zhuang, and Zhuang has a very famous five-color glutinous rice. The main copy should be black, yellow, red, purple, white and occasionally blue, all dyed with natural plants.
Use red and blue grass as blue, knead it in plant ash water, and put the rice in it to soak for 5- 10 hour. Because plant ash water is not easy to make, this important water in plant ash has high requirements, and the water that drips into plant ash water also has high requirements, so ordinary families don't often do it unless there is a capable grandmother who can do it!
There is also a kind of cabbage leaf, which can be sold in the market on March 3, and I don't know the real scientific name.
Purple cabbage water is blue. You can try.
Once, my maple leaf was too tender and blue.
The water soaked in rice can exceed the height of a finger joint, and the water temperature should be around 40, that is, you can feel the heat when you reach in, but it is not hot enough.
2. How to change the color of rice
Huami is the exclusive product of Buyi people. Dyeing rice in bright colors and colorful spots gives it endless poetic and romantic feelings. In today's world, only Buyi people can do it.
The process of making flower rice is very complicated. First, the best glutinous rice is washed and dried. At the same time, pick various plants that are beneficial to the body on the mountain and boil them into red, yellow, blue, orange, black and other colors. After that, the washed glutinous rice was soaked in various plant dyes respectively. All kinds of bright colors soak the rice deeply. After the color of the rice completely changes, it is washed by the water and then steamed in jiaozi. At this time, the room is full of red, yellow, blue, orange and black, bright colors shine in the thick steam, and pure fragrance wafts around the room. Faced with such delicious food, even if you are full of alcohol, you can't help but taste a few mouthfuls.
There is an old legend about "Buyi colorful rice": A long time ago, Zhuang Dong, Zhuang Dai and Buyi three brothers worked hard by the quiet Doyle River and lived a happy life. As the saying goes, "the tree attracts the wind, and the people's congress attracts the wind." Among the three brothers, the eldest brother Zhuang Dong and the second brother Zhuang Dai are married. After discussion, they decided to leave this beautiful and rich land to the third brother, and they took their wife and children to find another place to relocate. When the Buyi brothers learned about it, they refused to stay and let the two brothers build another home. Zhuang Dong talked to Zhuang Dai, but kept his brother's cloth. On the day of breaking up, it was the third day of the third lunar month. Later, in order not to forget the feelings of our compatriots, on the third day of the third lunar month, the descendants of the three brothers will gather on the beautiful Doyle River, singing and dancing, offering sacrifices to their ancestors and expressing brotherhood. Select the best glutinous rice, collect rare herbs from mountain grass, and make colorful flowered rice, wishing each other a long life, celebrating the bumper harvest of grain, prosperous livestock and happy life, and making life as beautiful as flowers forever.
Don't worry, Buyi colorful flower rice is definitely a real pollution-free green food. All pigments are boiled by plants, which are not only harmless to the body, but also contain a lot of elements needed by the body. Feel free to taste it boldly. If you don't succeed, please rest assured that the colorful flower rice has been successfully made into a box lunch. You can buy a few boxes generously and taste them slowly with your wife, children, relatives and friends when you get home.
