Tips for cooking eight-treasure rice

1, bubble in advance?

The materials of eight-treasure porridge are mostly coarse grains, and its texture will be relatively hard. It will take a long time to cook directly, so it is best to soak the materials for several hours before cooking porridge, so that it can be cooked quickly and easily. ?

2, hot water pot?

Boiling in hot water is easier than boiling in cold water, because the temperature of the food itself is different from that of the outside, and the pressure generated can form tiny cracks on its surface, so the starch in the food can be more easily dissolved in water, so it can be cooked faster when boiled, and it is generally not easy to paste the pot with boiling water. ?

3, pressure cooker cooking?

Cooking porridge in pressure cooker will make it easier to cook food than other kitchen utensils, because the pressure in pressure cooker is higher than that in ordinary cooker, and the tightness is better, so the time spent cooking eight-treasure porridge in pressure cooker will be much shorter.
