Minced Meat and Vegetable Porridge

Ingredients for minced meat and vegetable porridge

Main ingredients: 250 grams of rice or millet, 150 grams of minced meat, and 200 grams of green vegetables.

Ingredients: 50 grams of vegetable oil, 25 grams of soy sauce, 10 grams of refined salt, a little chopped green onion and ginger, and 2.5 kilograms of water.

When cooking meat, it must be fully cooked to maximize food safety. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently revised its internal temperature guidelines for meat cooking, making the internal temperature of meat the most important.

It is recommended that people keep in mind the following three cooking values ​​that should be achieved when cooking meat to ensure food safety.

63 degrees Celsius: Applicable to various fillets, chunks and ribs of beef, pork, lamb and fish.

71 degrees Celsius: Applicable to minced meats of the above mentioned meats.

74 degrees Celsius: Applicable to all poultry, such as chicken and duck.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that when cooking, a thermometer can be inserted into the thickest part of the meat to reach the above temperature. Chinese people do not use thermometers like foreigners do when cooking. They should pay more attention to not turning off the heat when the meat looks cooked on the outside, but wait until the meat is cooked through. To be on the safe side, continue cooking for at least 3 minutes.

In addition, it is important to note that people generally believe that minced meat is easy to cook, so the cooking time can be shortened. But in fact, whether you buy minced meat from the market or mince it at home, the processing process may allow the meat to be contaminated with more bacteria. Therefore, when frying minced meat, continue cooking it over medium or high heat for two or three minutes after you see the meat turn white.
