Then use the water used to blanch the lotus leaves to rinse the front of the lotus leaf pot lid. After washing the fresh lotus leaves, be sure to blanch them in boiling water, because there is a thin layer of fluff on the front of the lotus leaves, which needs to be blanched to effectively remove those impurities that cannot be washed off.

Use a clay pot to cook porridge. Pour clean water into the pot, add the blanched lotus leaf pieces, bring to a boil over high heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes until the water turns dark. Take out the lotus leaf pieces and discard them, put down the chicken leg bones and remove the blood foam. Add the washed polished rice; cover the pot with a lotus leaf lid, cook over low heat until the porridge is thick, before removing from the pot, pour in the chicken and cook until it is cooked through, taste the porridge for saltiness, add salt and chicken essence, and turn off the heat. Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions to enhance the flavor.
