Successful Implementation Tips
- If you have time, you should soak the rice for about 1 – 2 hours before cooking the porridge, which helps the porridge to soften quickly and taste better. Before soaking the rice, you need to rinse it thoroughly to remove any sand and dirt attached to the rice.
- Alternatively, you can wash the rice, let it sit to drain, and then put it in the pan to toast evenly over medium-low heat until the rice grains turn light yellow, then cook as usual. This method helps the porridge grains to expand evenly and looks more appealing and delicious.
- The water ratio is also very important; you can aim for a ratio of 1:4 for rice and water, which is the most suitable, or you can adjust it according to your preference.
- You can use a mix of glutinous rice and regular rice to cook porridge, which will make the dish soft, tasty, and not too heavy when eaten.
