Cooking with boiling water can shorten the cooking time of porridge and better preserve the nutritional components of rice, but the taste may be slightly worse. The advantage of cold water cooking is that it can fully absorb water, and the cooked porridge is more delicate and smooth, with better taste, and it takes longer to cook porridge, so pay attention to the heat, otherwise it will be easy to cook or paste the bottom.
First, after the rice is washed, soak it in water for 30 minutes to make the rice absorb water faster. Then boil the water, add the rice, boil, turn to low heat and cook until the porridge thickens. This cooking method can make the rice absorb water more evenly, and it is not easy to cook the bottom, and the cooked porridge tastes good.
Matters needing attention in cooking rice porridge:
1, rice purchase: choose good quality rice, preferably new rice, because the new rice has high water content and the cooked porridge is more delicate;
2. Water ratio: Generally speaking, the ratio of water to rice in rice porridge is 1:8 or 1: 10, which means that each rice needs 8 ~ 10, but the specific ratio needs to be decided according to personal taste;
3. Cooking time of porridge: The cooking time of porridge needs to be determined according to different cooking methods and heat. Cooking with cold water takes 30 ~ 40 minutes, and cooking with boiling water takes 20 ~ 30 minutes. If cooked for too long, the porridge will boil and the taste will be affected.
4. Feeding time: If you need to add other ingredients, such as meat and vegetables, you need to add them before the rice is cooked, which will make the ingredients more tasty and will not affect the cooking time of the rice;
5, heat control: the heat of porridge needs to be properly controlled. Generally speaking, after cooking, turn to low heat and cook slowly, so that the rice absorbs water more evenly and the cooked porridge is more delicate.
