Tips:
This porridge has a strong fragrance and is a very delicious porridge.
There are a few last points to be wordy here:
1. To cook this porridge, you must choose dried mushrooms instead of fresh mushrooms, because the taste of dried mushrooms is stronger, and the porridge cooked with fresh mushrooms is not fresh;
2. The authentic Chaoshan casserole porridge must be added with ginger, but because my son does not like the taste of ginger, I did not add it, but it is recommended that you must add it if you want to make it. If it is added, it will be more fresh Enhance flavor
3. My ass is almost three and a half years old, so the ingredients don’t need to be chopped too much, just cut into shreds, but if you want to make it for younger children, it’s better to cut shiitake mushrooms and chicken shreds, which is more beneficial to children. Chew, but the cooking time for minced meat should be shorter. Basically, when the pot is boiled and stirred for two times, the heat must be turned off. I would like to remind mothers to pay attention;
4. Cooking porridge is not better than stir-frying or making soup, because it is a staple food, so the seasoning must not be heavy. The salt, chicken essence, pepper and the amount should be 1/2 or 1/3 of the usual cooking. On the contrary, salty is not fresh, remember this!
