1. Reduce water quantity

Eight-treasure porridge contains many kinds of whole grains, and the starch content is relatively high, so it is relatively easy to cook sticky. If the eight-treasure porridge cooked by yourself is not sticky enough, it is suggested to reduce the amount of water appropriately at first, and the ratio of water to rice is about 15: 1, which will make the eight-treasure porridge more viscous.

Step 2 keep stirring

When cooking the eight-treasure porridge, boil it with high fire first, and then cook it slowly with low fire. During this period, stir it frequently to make the starch in it fully gelatinize, so as to increase the viscosity of the eight-treasure porridge, and also to prevent the eight-treasure porridge from being burnt by uneven heating.

3. Starch thickening

In addition to the above two points, you can also add a little water starch to the eight-treasure porridge after it is cooked. After this step, the eight-treasure porridge will become thick and thick.

How can eight-treasure porridge be sticky and how can it be cooked quickly?

How can eight-treasure porridge be cooked quickly?

1. Boil with boiling water

If the eight-treasure porridge is boiled directly in cold water, it will be heated slowly and take a long time. Therefore, in order to make the eight-treasure porridge boil as soon as possible, it is suggested that it can be boiled directly in boiling water. The stimulation of temperature will cause many tiny cracks on the surface of the ingredients, and the starch in it will be easier to dissolve in water and cook faster.

Step 2 cook in a pressure cooker

If the eight-treasure porridge is boiled in an ordinary casserole, it will take a relatively long time. It is suggested that it can be boiled in a pressure cooker, because the pressure cooker has a high temperature and pressure, and it is airtight, and it is easier to cook the eight-treasure porridge.
