When I was young, I read Yi Shu's novel "Flowers Are Often Good Moons And People Are Long", I really didn't understand how the porridge cooked in the casserole was different from the porridge cooked in the pressure cooker, and it was obvious why the two people who looked at each other could not be together because of their different pursuits of a bowl of porridge.
Until I fell in love with food and liked to cook, I finally understood that the porridge cooked in the pressure cooker and the casserole is really different, the same kind of rice, the same water, the same pot, the same stove, the people who cook it are different, the taste is different.
New to start a casserole, the opening of the pot is the dried scallop casserole porridge, with rice, scallops, water, oil and salt, boiled out a pot of rice fragrant, viscous and smooth old fire porridge, one of the most important secrets is the control of the heat, boil on high heat, turn to a medium-low heat and cook for about 40 minutes, this process can not open the minimum fire, you have to control the fire in the pot of porridge has been kept in a boiling state, but the heat must be minimized, to ensure that the cooking time is enough, the rice soup is thick. You have to guard the stove to avoid overflowing the pot, and it is not easy for a bowl of porridge to be cooked deliciously.
【Ingredients】 1 cup rice, 10 grams of cooking oil, 30 grams of dried scallops, 2500ml of water, salt to taste
【Directions】
1. Prepare the rice, preferably wash the new rice of the season, add cooking oil and stir well, let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Rinse the scallops with water, soak your hair in advance with water, and pinch it with your hands to pinch it open.
3. Place the rice in a casserole dish with scallops and soak the scallops, and add plenty of water.
4. Bring to a boil over high heat, when it is almost ready to boil, open the lid in advance and stir with a spoon to prevent spillage.
5. After the porridge is boiled, turn the heat to a medium-low heat, taking care to keep the rice soup in the pot boiling.
6. Cook for about 40-50 minutes, cook until the rice soup is thick, add salt to taste, then turn off the heat.
【Broken Thoughts】
Boiling casserole porridge to cook delicious, one is to choose new rice, the second is to use a deep bottom of the large casserole, the third is to control the heat, must let the rice soup in a boiling state, if there is no boiled porridge and become a "simmering" porridge, the aroma is blurred, not delicious.
