When I was in college, I was fascinated by the Xinjiang style of pilaf at the entrance of the school. The rice with clear grains that made me choke in my throat. The soft and rotten carrots had a slight flavor of mutton, and the salty taste of raisins. It was wonderful.
Now that I am pregnant, what I miss most is the school's hand-pilaf rice.
A few days ago, I went all the way to Shandong with a big belly that was more than five months old. The first thing I did was to go to the school to eat rice with my hands. After eating one portion, I felt like my teeth were not stuffed properly. In fact, what Beijing lacks most is all kinds of places to eat, but what I want is the feeling. However, on the bus stop at the entrance of the school, thieves had their wallets snatched in a beautiful manner. Even pregnant women would not be spared even if they had no taste of thieves.
After returning to Beijing, I still didn't satisfy my cravings. Public comments searched for authentic places in Beijing, such as Xinjiang offices, Islamic restaurants, etc., but I couldn't be bothered to eat alone, so I still had to do it myself. After all, I learned it well. I can eat whatever I want ~!

Steps for hand-picked rice
1
Prepare the ingredients, prepare a small handful of fat and lean beef or mutton, carrots, onions, and if there are raisins
2
Put the meat in the pan with cold water and blanch it with water, skim the foam halfway, and turn off the heat after boiling for one minute to prevent it from getting overcooked. Remove it and wash it.
3
Put more oil in the pan than usual for stir-frying, heat it up, add the meat, onions, carrots, salt in turn, and stir fry with soy sauce. Over medium heat, stir-fry the meat until it is ready, add onions and stir until soft, then add carrots and stir until it is ready. Then add two spoonfuls of hot water, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Put a little more salt in it, because the rice will no longer be seasoned when it is finally added.
4
After stewing, pour into the rice cooker together with the juice and spread it evenly, and then spread the soaked rice on top (the rice must be soaked in warm water for 30 minutes in advance, because very little water is added when steaming the rice, and the unsoaked rice will be cooked until it is cooked). As for the amount of water, it's about the same, but not less than rice.
5
Just follow the normal cooking procedures and simmer it. It looks like this when it first comes out of the pot. Mix well with a spoon and the lovely golden rice grains appear.

Let's start eating ~~~ It's very delicious ~~~ It has completely achieved the desired effect, but there are no raisins at home, otherwise it will be even more wonderful. If raisins need to be added, put them on the rice in step 4.hand-picked rice Make Tips
Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it for 30 minutes. You can check the saltiness during step 4. My first attempt was a success, so I'll be making this often in the future! This is a portion for two people, but the scary thing is, I polished it all off by myself...
