How to make porridge thick

Cooking is not a simple task. For people who have been cooking for years, they can control it well with just one move. The taste of the food is more particular, especially when making porridge. Some people like to drink thin porridge and some people like to drink thick porridge. So everyone doesn’t know how to control it best. How to cook porridge to make it thicker requires attention to the method.

The simplest way to cook white rice porridge

1. Tools

A casserole (a rice cooker is also fine), a large spoon, and other necessary pots, bowls, etc.

2. Ingredients

150g white rice (depending on the number of people or your appetite), 1600ml water!

3. Method:

1) Wash the white rice (some people like to soak it, but I personally don’t recommend it because the nutrients are easily lost if it is soaked for a long time. Besides, white rice is easy to cook and does not need to be soaked for too long. If you change or add whole grains, such as black rice, brown rice, etc., it is recommended to soak the whole grains for half an hour in advance, so that it is easier to cook)

2) Pour into a casserole, add the prepared water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Note that you should stir the bottom of the pot appropriately during the cooking process and break up the rice grains that are clumped together to prevent them from sticking to the pot!

3) After the pot boils, simmer over low heat! Please note that porridge is easy to overflow when cooking, so don’t cover the lid too tightly. You can use a chopstick to stretch it horizontally across the casserole and cover the lid on the chopstick, so that a gap is left to prevent overflow! After about 20-25 minutes (depending on how the porridge is cooked), turn off the heat and let the residual heat of the casserole simmer for a few minutes so that the porridge will be more fragrant!

The above is a recipe for beginners who can’t cook! If you have learned these, you can use your creativity to add pumpkin or various beans to the porridge, or replace rice with whole grains, or add sweet potatoes, or century egg and lean meat porridge... There are so many things you can do, and the nutritional value is extremely high, and it's not troublesome! It is perfect as breakfast or diet meal!
