Tips:
1. In general, the leftovers from overnight are used for cooking porridge, but sometimes there is no leftovers from overnight and the leftovers feel smelly. Freshly cooked porridge can also be used. Cooking porridge with long rice is not sticky enough, and the taste is relatively ordinary. This kind of rice is very fragrant when cooked dry rice, but cooking porridge is not the best choice. If you want to cook soft glutinous rice, pearl rice or round rice is the best choice. But boiled preserved egg and lean meat porridge is different from normal white porridge. The best state is between rice cereal and normal white porridge. So use a blender to slightly chop the soaked rice, don’t chop too much, it won’t be good if it becomes a rice paste~~~
2. Using bone broth instead of water will make the porridge taste more mellow and have a better taste; you can also use big bones to make the soup, but the soup made from big bones is more greasy, it is best to put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate it. Remove the grease on the surface, so that the cooked porridge is lighter and refreshing;
3. If you directly use a large piece of lean meat and boil it with the porridge, then take out the lean meat and crush it and add it to the porridge, so that the meat becomes more tasteless and more woody. Cut the lean meat into thin slices, pat it loosely, add seasonings to marinate and then add it to the porridge. This way the cooked meat slices have a smooth taste and complement the porridge cooked with bone broth.~~
4. The preserved eggs are cooked first and then cut into porridge, which can reduce the fishy smell of preserved eggs and affect the taste and texture of the porridge.
5. The porridge cooked in a casserole does not have to be delicious, it tastes equally good when you eat it at home with a rice cooker~~~
