Tools/materials: rice 1 cup, quinoa 1 2 cup, spinach 1 small handle, shrimp skin1small handle, 2 slices of ginger, a little sesame oil, a little salt, preserved eggs and ham.

1, prepare rice and quinoa, clean them, put them directly into the rice cooker without soaking, then add a proper amount of water into the rice cooker and start the porridge button of the rice cooker.

2. Prepare vegetables. This time I use spinach, so I must blanch it in advance. One is to remove the astringency of vegetables, and the other is to remove the oxalic acid of spinach. Besides, I prepared some diced ham to color the porridge. It would be more perfect if you prepared a chopped preserved egg.

3. Open the lid, add spinach and diced ham, stir well, and then add shrimp skin. Shrimp skin is a little salty. Stir well and have a taste. If you feel weak, you can add a little salt. The pot can be covered to keep warm. Add sesame oil to taste. If there are preserved eggs, put them in, and they taste better.

Precautions for cooking porridge:

1, choose the right ingredients: porridge needs to choose high-quality ingredients, such as high-quality rice, millet, oats and so on. At the same time, according to personal tastes and needs, you can choose to add red dates, medlar, yam and other ingredients to increase nutrition and taste.

2. Soak rice: Soak the rice for a while before cooking porridge, which will make the rice softer and the cooked porridge more delicate. Generally, the soaking time is between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the kind of rice and personal taste.

3, control the amount of water: when cooking porridge, be sure to control the amount of water. Generally speaking, the amount of water for cooking porridge is 2-3 times more than that for rice. Too much water will dilute the porridge; Too little water will make porridge too thick. So the water quantity should be adjusted according to the actual situation.

4, control the heat: when cooking porridge, the control of the heat is very important. When you start cooking, you can boil it quickly with high fire. When the water boils, you can turn to low heat and stew slowly. This will make the rice fully absorb water, and the cooked porridge will be more fragrant.

5. Stir in time: In the process of cooking porridge, stir in time to avoid rice sticking to the bottom of the pot. At the same time, stirring can also help rice cook faster.
