2 The ratio of water and rice in eight-treasure porridge
15： 1
There is no strict regulation on the ratio of water to rice for cooking eight-treasure porridge, which can be determined according to the amount of materials and your own preferences. It doesn't matter if there is more or less, so be careful not to paste the pot. Because the eight-treasure porridge contains a variety of coarse grains, it is more suitable for thick porridge. It is suggested that the reference ratio is 15: 1, that is, water15 parts and material1part. The eight-treasure porridge boiled in this ratio is usually sticky, but of course, it can be slightly more if you like a thinner texture.
Can eight-treasure porridge be cooked directly?
It can be cooked directly, but it is not recommended.
Because most of the main raw materials in the eight-treasure porridge are coarse grains, the texture will be relatively hard, and it will be difficult to cook it directly, and it will take a long time. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to cook it directly. It will be better to soak it in water in advance and cook it again, because during the soaking process, the ingredients will absorb and swell, and the texture will become loose, which will be easier to cook and the nutrients in it will be easier to precipitate.
How long did the eight-treasure porridge bought in the supermarket last?
More than 2 hours.
It is recommended to soak the eight-treasure porridge for at least 2 hours before cooking until the ingredients are soft. If the soaking time of the eight-treasure porridge is too short and the water absorption is not enough, it may still be difficult to cook. If the soaking time is too long, it will cause the loss of nutrients in the ingredients, thus affecting the nutritional value of eight-treasure porridge.
