Before I went to a Cantonese restaurant with my friends. My friend helped me order a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. I tasted it and found it tasted very good. Later, my friends told me that preserved eggs are one of the foods that crooked nuts find disgusting. They wanted to see my reaction to eating preserved eggs and thought it would be fun.

19. After boiling again, skim the froth in the pot. Then add the sliced ginger in turn.

20. Drained rice and a sliced preserved egg.

21. Stir the mixture in the pot with a wooden spoon, and simmer for 50 minutes on medium-low heat.

22. In the process of cooking the porridge, use a wooden spoon to stir from time to time to prevent the bottom from sticking.
