Precautions for cooking porridge in a pressure cooker

1. Don’t cook too much porridge. Generally, it is best to cook 2/3 of the pot’s capacity. The ratio of rice to water is 1:3.

2. After washing the rice, put it into the pot and add water. Before covering the pot, be sure to check whether the hole of the pressure limiting valve in the center of the lid is unobstructed and whether the other valves on the lid are normal; 3. When you start cooking, you can use medium or high heat. When the water in the pot boils, when the pressure limiting valve of the pressure cooker makes a "hissing" sound, you should immediately turn down the heat so that the pressure limiting valve of the pressure cooker makes an intermittent "hissing" sound. Continue to cook at this low heat for 5 to 7 minutes;

4. It's time to cook the porridge. After the porridge is done, turn off the fire. You can use a basin with water in it, carefully hold the pot and put it into the cold water in the basin to cool it down. You can also pour a small amount of water on the lid to cool it down. When the pressure cooker makes a sound of air being sucked into the pot, stop pouring water, remove the valve cap of the pressure limiting valve, and open the lid. (The rice grains cooked in this way are very distinct. If you want to cook it softer, wait until the valve cap stops emitting air before opening the pressure cooker. Do not pour water on it.)

Century Egg and Lean Meat

Cut the lean meat into the shape you like..long, square, diamond-shaped..one serving is enough for one person. If you want the meat to be more tender, boil it in warm water and then put it in the porridge pot. (If there is no meat, use ham instead, the taste is also very good..)

Now let's talk about preserved eggs. Because the yolk of preserved eggs is full of oil, it will turn the porridge black if you are not careful. It doesn't look good. It is recommended to put the egg white first, and then put the preserved egg yolk 5 minutes before taking it out of the pot. When cutting preserved eggs, you can wrap a layer of plastic wrap on the blade first. This way the knife is easy to wash.
