Japonica rice is suitable for porridge. Ordinary rice is divided into japonica rice and indica rice, and the consistency of the two types is different. Japonica rice is mostly oval, short and wide, and the common crystal rice, pearl rice rice and Northeast rice in the market belong to japonica rice. This kind of rice is sticky and suitable for porridge.

On the contrary, the shape of indica rice is slender, such as long-grain fragrant rice and Thai fragrant rice. Indica rice is a good choice for cooking. The cooked rice is crispy and non-sticky, soft and delicious.

Pay attention to two points when cooking porridge:

1, the whole process of porridge cooking needs to add a pot cover, which can not only prevent the loss of water-soluble vitamins and some nutrients with water vapor, but also reduce the cooking time and make porridge delicious.

2. In case of overflow, you can add a few drops of vegetable oil or animal oil to the pot when cooking porridge, which can avoid the overflow of rice porridge, and the finished porridge is bright in color and fresh and smooth at the entrance.
