    Wash the Vietnamese coriander, green onions, and fresh chili, then chop them finely. For the Vietnamese coriander and green onions, pick the tops and cut them into small pieces, while the carrot should be peeled and diced.

    When buying straw mushrooms, remember to wash them clean and remove the stems, then soak them in a saltwater solution for about 5-7 minutes before taking them out and cutting them in half.

  • Cooking porridge

    Take the prepared rice from above and put it into the pot, then add lotus seeds, bone broth, diced carrots into the pot and bring to a boil. After the porridge has started to cook, reduce the heat to simmer the porridge.

    Heat a pan on the stove, add 50ml of cooking oil, then sauté the dried onion until fragrant. Once it has a nice aroma, add 20ml of fish sauce along with oysters and straw mushrooms, then stir-fry on low heat until cooked.

    When the porridge is cooked, add the stir-fried oysters and continue to simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, then turn off the stove. Now you can season it to taste.

    After that, ladle the porridge into a bowl, sprinkle with a little chopped green onion, ground pepper, fresh chili, and finely chopped Vietnamese coriander, and you can enjoy it.

    This nutritious dish is perfect for entertaining family or for breakfast to provide energy for a long working day.

How to choose fresh and delicious oysters

  • You should choose oysters with a pointed tip, as they will have more meat, and ensure that their shells are tightly closed. When separating the oyster, the meat should be firmly attached to the shell, filling it completely, and contain a lot of seawater.
  • Avoid buying oysters with eggs, as the meat will be bitter. Limit purchasing oysters that do not make a sound when tapped, as they may be dead.
  • For small oysters, choose those that are short, round, with protruding shells, and avoid flat oysters. If you shake them lightly and they feel heavy, firm, and not hollow, those are extremely fat, plump oysters with plenty of milk.

Tips for successful execution:

  • For milk oysters, if you manage to buy live oysters, you should keep the oyster water, filter out the sediment, and simmer it with porridge for a sweeter flavor.
  • When preparing lotus seeds, remove the lotus seed core to avoid bitterness.
  • If you use an electric rice cooker to cook porridge, you should still wash the rice and put it in the pot, add a little cooking oil, and then press cook. When the porridge boils, be careful to open the lid, and thanks to the layer of cooking oil, the porridge won’t overflow.
  • To make the porridge more fragrant, you should roast the rice before cooking.

Above are 2 delicious and nutritious recipes for oyster porridge and lotus seed porridge that are very simple to make. Hopefully, with the recipes provided by TasteVN, you can enter the kitchen and prepare the dishes for the whole family to enjoy. Wishing you success!

Ingredients for green bean goat porridge

How to choose good goat meat

  • Good goat meat is fresh, tender young goat, with a slaughter time of about 12 hours before processing.
  • Fresh goat meat has a pinkish-red color, firm texture, and does not leak water. Frozen goat meat is lighter in color, often leaks water, and has a fishy smell.
  • Young goats usually have less strong goat smell, while older goats have a stronger odor. Young goats have pinkish-red meat, with small and fine fibers. Older goats have darker meat and larger fibers.
  • If touching the meat feels dry or slimy with a foul smell, it should not be purchased, as the meat may have gone bad.
  • Look for reputable goat meat suppliers with clear origins, complete stamps of inspection, veterinary certificates, food safety certificates, and establishments or stores that are qualified to sell fresh meat.

How to choose good green beans: you need to choose fresh green beans that are not shriveled or infested, with plump and shiny seeds.

How to prepare Green Bean Goat Porridge

  • Prepare the goat meat

    Buy goat meat and use a knife to scrape off any remaining hair, then rinse thoroughly with diluted salt water twice, drain, and then slice the meat into thin, bite-sized pieces, placing them on a plate.

    Dilute boiling water and vinegar in a ratio of 1/2 liter of water and 25g of vinegar, briefly blanch the goat meat to eliminate the odor.

    Wash the goat bones with diluted salt water, then use a pestle to break them into pieces, breaking them just enough; there’s no need to crush them too finely!

    How to clean goat meat, removing any unpleasant smell

    Using white wine:

    • Use two pieces of ginger, peel and pound them into a paste. Then use 70ml of white wine to mix well to create a ginger wine mixture.
    • Use this mixture to thoroughly massage the goat meat. Rinse it again with diluted salt water and use paper towels to dry the meat.

    Using vinegar:

    Mix 15 ml of rice vinegar with 1 liter of clean water, bring to a boil on the stove. Boil the goat meat in this mixture until the water boils again, then remove it. At this point, the goat meat has significantly reduced its odor.

  • Prepare other ingredients

    Rinse the rice, then soak the plain rice in water for about 1 hour to soften the rice, which will help it expand faster and absorb flavors better when cooking.

    • If you don’t have time to soak, you can also cook directly, but the cooking time for the porridge to be soft and delicious will be longer than if you had soaked the rice.
    • If you like, you can also roast the rice until slightly golden to enhance the flavor of the porridge.

    Green beans bought should be soaked in water for about 2 hours so that they cook faster and become softer. After that, rinse thoroughly and remove any dirt and impurities.

    Ginger, after peeling, is washed clean; half is cut into long thin strips, and the other half is sliced thinly. Lemongrass is washed clean, one stalk is minced, and the other is cut into pieces.

    Shallots and garlic are peeled, washed clean, and then minced.

    Green onions are trimmed, shiso leaves are picked, washed clean, and then minced.

  • Marinate the goat meat

    The cleaned goat meat should be marinated with 1/2 tablespoon of minced shallots, 1/2 tablespoon of minced lemongrass, 1/2 tablespoon of ginger strips, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder.

    Use chopsticks to mix well and marinate the goat meat for about 20 minutes to allow the meat to absorb the flavors evenly.

  • Stir-fried goat meat

    Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, then wait for the oil to heat up before adding the chopped shallots, julienned ginger, half of the chopped lemongrass, and the remaining minced lemongrass to sauté until fragrant.

    Continue to add the marinated goat meat and stir-fry on high heat for about 5 minutes. When the meat has absorbed the seasoning and is slightly firm, turn off the heat.

  • Cook goat porridge

    Place a pot on the stove, add about 200ml of filtered water, and drop in the goat bones to simmer for a rich broth. Add a few slices of ginger, 1 stalk of lemongrass, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt into the pot.

    Continue to simmer the goat bones on low heat for about 20 minutes, frequently skimming off the foam to keep the broth clear. When the broth thickens, use a ladle to remove the ginger and lemongrass.

    Then add the soaked rice, green beans, and the stir-fried goat meat to the pot.

    Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer to let the porridge cook until soft. When the porridge is nearly cooked, season with: 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar.

    Continue to cook until the rice, green beans, and goat meat are cooked through, soft, and fragrant, then add the chopped green onions and perilla leaves, stir well, and turn off the heat to finish.

    Note:

    • Occasionally lift the lid to stir and then cover again to prevent the porridge from burning or spilling over.
    • The green onions and perilla leaves can be added just before serving if desired.
    • If you like it spicy, you can add minced chili and pepper to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Final product

    The goat porridge with green beans is warm, with tender and sweet goat meat, free of any unpleasant smell, and the rice and green beans are cooked soft, expanded evenly, combined with ginger, lemongrass, and perilla to create a fragrant aroma.

    You can enjoy goat porridge with fried dough sticks and a bowl of dipping sauce or a bowl of spicy chili fish sauce on rainy afternoon days, what could be better!

Some notes when eating goat meat:

  • Do not eat too much: Goat meat has a warming property; eating too much can cause inflammation in the body. In particular, you should also avoid eating goat meat if you are experiencing heat in the body, mouth ulcers, tongue heat, swollen gums, red eyes, etc.
  • Do not drink tea after eating goat meat: Green tea contains tannic acid, while goat meat has a lot of protein, and combining them can easily cause constipation. If constipation lasts for a long time, it will cause waste and toxins to be reabsorbed into the body, harming health.
  • Do not eat goat meat with sour vinegar: The warming effect of goat meat will be reduced if eaten with sour vinegar. Therefore, you should avoid combining these two ingredients together.
  • Do not eat goat meat with pumpkin: Both goat meat and pumpkin have warming properties, so when combined, they can easily generate heat, causing internal heat. Other warming spices should also be avoided when eating goat meat, such as chili, pepper, clove, etc.
  • Goat meat should not be cooked in pots or other utensils made of copper, as this combination can create harmful substances for health.

Above is the recipe for delicious, soft, and sweet goat meat porridge, which is extremely simple to make at home. Let’s get into the kitchen and try it out, wishing you success!

Notes when cooking porridge cooking pig heart and pig kidney porridge

Fresh pig kidneys have a uniform dark color, without any light spots. Good quality pig kidneys will not have white spots, will not be congested or hemorrhagic, and will not have an unusual smell. When held in hand, if it’s an old kidney, it will feel soft and limp, while a fresh kidney will not show those signs and will be quite firm, with high elasticity, and the membrane intact.

For pig hearts, only choose those that have a dark red color, a smooth, soft exterior, and the heart membrane must still be attached to the myocardium. Fresh pig hearts should have elasticity when touched. Pressing on a pig heart will release a little bright red blood fluid, with no mucus and no unusual smell.

Using white alcohol or vinegar to wash the kidneys and hearts can help reduce the fishy smell.

Roasting or soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking the porridge will make it cook faster.

The dish pig heart and pig kidney porridge is really easy to make, right? Wish you success!

How to prepare Fresh Squid Porridge

  • Prepare the ingredients

    Wash the rice thoroughly, soak it in water for 30-45 minutes until the rice swells and becomes soft.

    Dry squid: grill with alcohol and tear into bite-sized pieces.

    Fresh squid purchased from the market or supermarket, rinse briefly with water, use your hands to pull the head and tentacles away from the body, use a knife to slice the squid body to remove the ink sac and the backbone inside the squid.

    Use your hands to peel off the black skin from the outside of the squid body and finally cut off the squid’s eyes, squeezing out the squid’s beak (the hard round mass in the middle of the squid’s head). After that, wash all the squid thoroughly again with water.

    Remember to add a few slices of crushed ginger and a little white wine, as this helps eliminate the characteristic fishy smell of the squid and makes the dish tastier when prepared. After washing, use a knife to cut the squid into bite-sized pieces.

    Pork bones should be washed clean and briefly blanched in boiling water to remove odors and impurities.

    Green onions should be picked, washed clean, and chopped finely. Bean sprouts should be picked and washed clean.

    Ginger should be washed clean, peeled, and minced finely.

    Then pour 1.5-2 liters of water into a pot with the pork bones, grilled dry squid + 1/2 teaspoon of pepper + 1/2 teaspoon of salt + 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder + 1/2 teaspoon of fish sauce.

    Simmer on high heat and do not cover the pot during simmering because covering the pot will make the broth cloudy, and be sure to skim off the foam when the water boils and reduce the heat. When the bones are tender, strain the bones to collect the broth.

  • marinated and stir-fried fresh squid

    Cut the squid into pieces and marinate with a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/3 teaspoon of salt + 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

    Next, heat a pan on high heat, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and when the oil is hot, add minced garlic and minced onion to sauté until fragrant, then add the marinated squid and stir-fry until cooked. Note not to stir-fry for too long, otherwise, the squid will become tough.

  • Cooking porridge

    Add the soaked rice to the pot of bone broth and continue to bring it to a boil on the stove. Cook until the rice turns into soft porridge, then add the marinated squid to cook until done, season again to taste, then turn off the heat.

  • Final product

    Serve the porridge in a bowl, add chopped green onions on top, sprinkle a little pepper, and enjoy while it’s still hot. This porridge can be served with fried dough and raw bean sprouts.

Notes when cooking squid

When buying fresh squid, choose those with dark brown bodies (for tube squid) or those with opaque white bodies (for cuttlefish), and both should have a shiny color. Pressing on the squid’s body will feel firm and elastic, not soft and mushy with an unpleasant smell. Fresh squid’s eyes are also bright and clearer, and the body and tentacles are still tightly attached to each other.

For seafood dishes in general and squid porridge in particular, it is usually best to consume them while still hot. Avoid letting them cool down as they will lose their flavor.

Using white alcohol or vinegar to wash the squid can help reduce the fishy smell.

Toasting or soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking the porridge will make it cook faster.

The dish squid porridge is ready, enjoy it while it’s still hot, wish you success!
