【Tips for cooking porridge】
The order in which the ingredients are added to cook porridge is also important. The principle is to put the ingredients that are difficult to soften first, such as beans and starchy ingredients. Remove the bitter core of lotus seeds first; soak raw almonds and walnuts in water and remove the bitterness before cooking. Add raw peanuts, lotus roots, and lily when they are almost cooked to maintain a crisp texture. When cooking bean porridge, add cold water a few times before adding rice to the pot to prevent the beans from "blooming" too quickly. Soak the coix seed in water until it becomes shiny before cooking to ensure it cooks easily. No need for too much heat, add it a few minutes before the porridge is done.
When cooking vegetable porridge, the salt, chicken powder, oil, and other seasonings should be added after the rice porridge is fully cooked. Finally, add fresh green vegetables. When cold vegetables meet hot porridge, the fragrance of the vegetables will be fully released, and the green vegetables will still be tender and retain their nutrients.
【The four elements of cooking porridge】
1. Cooking porridge with raw rice is much more delicious than making rice into porridge directly.
2. Using round rice to cook porridge is easy to cook and has a good texture.
3. Adding broth is a secret to making nutritious and delicious porridge.
4. The deliciousness of high-temperature gelatinization is a well-known chemical reaction.
5. It is best to use fresh rice to cook porridge, and the ingredients should also be fresh. Otherwise, the porridge will not be delicious.
