Many people love eating Xiang Gu Shou Rou Zhou(香菇瘦肉粥）, but it requires some special techniques to make it just right. Once you master these tips, you can easily make it! Let's learn together!
1、Do You Need to Add Water During the porridge Cooking Process?
If you find that the water level is low during the porridge cooking process, you can add more water at any time, but it must be hot or warm water. If you have chicken broth or bone broth, using it instead of plain water will make the porridge more flavorful, smooth, and rich.
2、How to Keep the Chicken Cubes Tender and Smooth?
Chicken cubes should be coated with starch. The amount of starch should be enough to create a smooth and slippery texture when mixed by hand.
3、Should You Soak the Rice Before Cooking porridge?
Yes, it's necessary. Before cooking porridge, soak the rice in cold water for half an hour to allow the grains to swell. This will result in plump rice grains in the porridge.
4、How to Ensure Plump and Bright Rice Grains?
Adding a spoonful of olive oil or vegetable oil while cooking the porridge will make the rice grains plumper and brighter in color. Additionally, the porridge will be more fragrant and flavorful.
