4. If you want to cook a pot of good porridge, you need to use your heart. The material and method are important, but you must have the patience to master the fire. Start with high fire, then medium and small fire. If it is easy to overflow, turn to the smallest fire and cook slowly. Cover the pot. Do not cover tightly, leave a gap to prevent the pot from overflowing. When the porridge is being cooked, it must be stirred continuously (especially when the porridge is about to be finished), otherwise all previous efforts will be lost if the bottom of the pot is stuck. So stay by the pot while cooking the porridge, and don't watch TV or play with your mobile phone. As the saying goes, "There is no skill to cook porridge. Stir at 36 times". Stirring the rice porridge at low heat will disperse the rice grains. When stirring, it must be in one direction so that the porridge will be thick.
