Cooking rice with boiling water can shorten the cooking time of porridge, and can better retain the nutrients of rice, but the taste may be slightly worse. The advantage of rice in cold water 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, and attention should be paid to the heat, otherwise it is easy to boil or paste the bottom.
First, after washing the rice, soak it in clear water for 30 minutes, so that the rice can absorb water more quickly. Then, after boiling the water, add the rice, boil it, turn it 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 boil or paste the bottom, and the cooked porridge tastes very 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 serving of rice needs 8 ~10 water, 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. The cooking method of cold water needs to be cooked for 30 ~ 40 minutes, and the cooking method of boiling water needs to be cooked for 20 ~ 30 minutes. If the cooking time is too long, the porridge will be boiled 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 boiling, it is necessary to turn to a small fire and cook slowly, so that the rice can absorb water more evenly and the cooked porridge is more delicate.
