蔡澜:草草不工——阿红靓米
我们是一个吃米长大的民族,没有一种食物美味过一碗炊得热腾腾,香喷喷的白米饭更慰藉我们的胃口。生了下来,经过短短的一个哺奶时期之后,我们第一口吃得满足的,就是那碗饭,至到我们死去,怀念的也是那一碗饭,没有其他主食可以代替的。
当然,如果在那碗饭上加了一匙脂玉般的猪油,让饭的热气慢慢地将凝固了的猪油溶化时,发出的那阵米饭和油脂混合的香味,尝过之后更是一发不可收拾,一生成为白米饭的囚徒了。可惜,这种滋味,因大家怕猪油不健康不去吃而消失,是一大憾事。
到了外国,法国餐意大利料理虽然美味,但一连三天不吃饭,喉咙就像会伸出一只手来,讨点饭吃。找到一家破中国餐厅,任何烂菜都不必点,只要有那一碗饭,淋点酱油,或加点菜汁,已经是非常满足的一餐。
我们一生离不开饭,但是我们对白饭的要求并不高。外国所有的好餐厅,面包一定是自己烤出来,但我们去了中国菜馆,不管名气多大,炊出来的白饭,还是那么地粗糙,这可能因为是我们的菜太过好吃,已经饱了,就不去注意白饭香或不香,这是很对不起白米饭的事。
日本人不同,他们的菜肴是用来下酒的,吃完了菜才去吃饭,叫为“食事”。吃饭时,配些泡菜,来一碗味噌汤,慢慢地欣赏米的香味,这才是对白饭的尊重。
要是你饥饿过,就会尊敬那碗白饭,倪匡兄来到香港,第一次尝到叉烧饭,已经乐得半天。他年轻时从军,老兵还教他添饭时要添个半碗,吃完了再去添第二碗,才有得剩,不然早就给别人抢光。
也许是没有经过穷困,现代人对白饭已有敬而远之的趋向,受报纸上健康版的影响,大家都认为白饭会吃肥人的,应该吃得越少越好,白米的销量已经降低,没有必要就不去碰了。
既然饭吃少了,就得求精了。香港人一贯吃泰国香米,确是好吃,味道那么香。但如果说到质感,还是日本米好吃,日本的米白白胖胖黏性又很强,所以他们吃饭的礼节是用筷子夹了送进口,不能把碗放在嘴边去扒,我们吃的米粒很散,不扒的话会跌得满地都是。
日本米是好吃,但我们的印象又是吃了会胖,一碗饭像一碗糖,不应该多吃。哪有这种事?日本米吃了胖,那么日本人不都变成胖子?
昼夜温度强烈中成熟
日本米也不是每一种都美味,出名的是新潟的日光米种,尤其是鱼沼地区的,用来炊饭一流,煲起粥来又那么软绵,真是百食不厌。比新潟米更好的,是山形出的“艳姬TSUYA HIME”米,比较一下就知道输赢。
有时在高级超市买到,拿回家一炊,一点香气也没有,那是米已过时,要吃的话非找新米不可。
正当以为“艳姬”是最好最香最糯的米时,钟楚红的友人送给我的,是一种东北五常地区产的白米,那真的可以说是我吃过的最好的白米了。
原来,五常米也分多种,大量生产的并不够水准,我吃的那种是粒粒饱满,晶莹剔透,每一粒都发亮,种这类米得有上好的水源,是用龙凤山的矿泉水灌溉,而且周围五公里以上无污染,之前也从未施用任何化学肥料的。
更进一步,需要纯正的种子,由水稻专家王象坤教授监管,严选最原始和最优良的米种,未曾受过基因转变的种子掺杂。
五常在北纬四十五度,专家们称为水稻种植黄金地域,拥有营养独特的蓄热砂层,复合积碳型的黑土,以一年一季的成熟期,在昼夜温度强烈的环境下成熟。
阳光也是最重要的,当地一年有两千五百小时的日照,种植区远离城市、工矿企业以及公路五公里。周围森林覆盖率高,生物类型多样化,造就美好优越的生态环境,形成有利于水稻生态资源。
至于耕种的稻农,都是一代传一代的专家,用最传统最古老的方式细心地培养出每一粒米,他们自觉性高,绝不妥协。
收成之后的包装管理又如何,生产的东方集团获中国第九届优质稻米博览交易会的金奖,又取得国际认同的ISO 9001质量管理体系、ISO 14001环境体系、ISO 22000食物安全管理体系的证书。
这么多资料之后,还有人问说:到底是不是有机?当然有机啦!
好东西,大众欣赏,现在钟楚红与我及东方集团合作,推出的大米命名“阿红靓米”,让大家也有机会尝尝。可惜,中国对大米的出口管理得十分严格,香港还没有办法取得准证,当今只有中国人能够在网上买到。希望有一天,可以把这种大米送到全世界每一个食米国家去。
