How to make porridge delicious_How to make porridge more delicious

Most people in the north like to drink some porridge before eating. They believe that drinking soup first will dilute stomach acid and reduce the possibility of stomach pain during the meal. Moreover, porridge can make the food entering the stomach softer and easier to digest. Therefore, eating porridge is very important. However, if you want to make porridge delicious, it takes some effort. Here I will teach you the tips for making porridge.

When is the best time to add rice to porridge? Practice has shown that it is best to add the rice after the water has boiled, because at this time, the rice grains are suddenly exposed to the high temperature, causing them to expand and crack on the surface, making the rice easier to cook.

After putting the rice into the pot, cook it over high heat for a while, then switch to low heat so that the water in the pot does not overflow. The purpose of doing this is to make the rice grains collide more often in the boiling water, so that the rice grains will be broken and gelatinized, and the cooked porridge will be thicker.

When cooking porridge, a problem often occurs. As soon as no one is around, the water in the pot overflows and gets all over the stove. If the fire is extinguished accidentally, it may easily cause a safety accident.

So, how to prevent the porridge from overflowing? There is a very simple method: after putting the rice in, drop a few drops of sesame oil into the pot, and cook it on low heat after the pot boils, so that it will not overflow.

When cooking porridge, you should also pay attention to keeping the lid closed from beginning to end and choose new rice.

If you are in a hurry to cook porridge, you can add some alkali into the pot when adding rice. This will shorten the cooking time. But in general, do not add alkali, as this will destroy the vitamins in the rice.

Precautions

Slow Cooking

1. Put appropriate amount of rice and sweet potato slices into the pot.

2. Wash the rice and sweet potato slices with clean water.

3. Add clean water and put your finger in to measure the height of the rice. It is enough if the water is more than one finger. Then put it in the rice cooker and start cooking! Do not open the lid immediately after it is cooked. Wait for 10 minutes before opening the lid. The porridge is ready!!! Remember to eat it with some pickled mustard and fermented bean curd!
