How to Cook Salted Black Bean Porridge
-
Soak Black Beans
Soak the black beans for about 2 hours before cooking to soften them and cook faster.
-
Rinse the rice
Rinse the sticky rice and regular rice about 2 – 3 times.
-
Cook the porridge
Add sticky rice, regular rice, and black beans to cook with 2 liters of water.
Wait for the water to boil, skim off the foam, and occasionally stir the porridge.
Tip: Only stir the porridge in one direction to avoid making it lumpy.
-
Make the scallion water to soak the beans
Chop the scallions finely and put everything in a bowl. Add 220 ml of cooled boiled water, 110 ml of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, then stir well.
-
Fry the tofu
Cut 3 large pieces of tofu, wait for the oil to heat up, then add all to fry until golden.
-
Soak the tofu in scallion oil
When the tofu pieces are evenly golden, take them out and immediately place them into a bowl of scallion oil. The heat from the tofu will help cook the scallions and reduce the strong smell.
-
Enjoy
Scoop the porridge into a bowl, gradually add the scallion-coated tofu, salted egg, and 2 halves of salted egg. Now you have a hot bowl of porridge that is extremely effective for refreshing.
Tip:
- You can use a rice cooker with a porridge cooking function to make cooking porridge easier.
