Turkey is a common meat in America. There are a lot of different ways to cook turkeys here, but I don’t like American style turkey. I always feel the turkey have a bad smelling. Turkey rice is a famous food in my hometown, Chia-Yi. It is very to cook, but we don’t make it at home because there are many stalls which sell that in my hometown, and it’s inexpensive (One bowl of the turkey rice is less than one dollar). The following is the recipe. The first step of cooking, put turkey into the boiling water and simmer for two hours. And then, slice the turkey and put on the rice. The final step is to top with gray.
When did we start to eat the turkey rice? The first person, Mr. Lin, stared selling the rice sixty years ago. At that time, the people’s lives were not good. They just could eat meat on the important days. He thank the turkey was inexpensive, and people couldn’t have a lot of chances to eat that. In addition, the turkey was al dente; it was totally different form the regular chicken. For these reasons, the turkey rice was more and more popular in my hometown.
Today, there are more than five famous stalls in Chia-Yi. I have tried to the most of them, but I never tried the one, Smiling Turkey Rice, which opens from 2:30 A.M. until they sell out. According to my friend, if we want to eat the rice, we have to wait more than one hour because they have a long line at 1 A.M., even if they open at 2:30 A.M. When I go back to my hometown, I should be home by 11 P.M., so I never have a chance to go to the stall. Now, I am already tired of the American style turkey. I wish that I could go back to Taiwan to eat the turkey rice.
I saw the Turkey Rice's picture was not good, I didn't want to eat, but I looked your describe for Turkey Rice was very delicious. If I have chance to go to TAIWAN, I will try it. Maybe I look for you as my guide, so you have excuse for don't go back home before 11 P.M..

ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. Sometime when I ate turkey, I was annoyed with that smell. And I was very surprised because Taiwanese are used to eat turkey, and this diet is very different from Japanese. As you know, turkey is a kind of healthy food because the amount of fat in it is lower than other meat, beef, pork and chicken, so it is proper for fat persons like me. I want to try this food. Please let me show how to cook this in detail later. Maybe I’ll try to make with my host mother.
