As additives, some restaurants may indeed add some condiments such as starch, alkali, xanthan gum and guar gum, but the dosage is safe and up to standard. They can also thicken porridge.
The other is the ratio of rice to water. Restaurants outside generally have a certain proportion. According to this ratio, they can cook thick and sticky porridge.
Just like when we cook porridge ourselves on weekdays, we usually pour eight to ten glasses of water into a cup of rice (here, a cup refers to a container with porridge cooking utensils). If you like thick porridge, you can add less water, but if you have miscellaneous grains of rice, you should add more.

Tips for cooking porridge.
First, the time to cook porridge.
The time to cook porridge is related to the porridge cooking tool you choose. If you cook porridge with a rice cooker, it will take longer than using a gas stove, an induction cooker or a pressure cooker, and cooking porridge with a pressure cooker is the fastest. Generally, it takes at least 30 to 40 minutes to cook rice porridge in a rice cooker, and the porridge will rot in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes.
However, the speed of cooking porridge is also related to your weight, so when cooking porridge, everyone should judge the time required to cook porridge in combination with their own cooking method, favorite thickness and cooked weight.
Second, the tips for cooking porridge.
1, for flavor, add nuts.
Peanut, melon seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds all contain a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which can make them more fragrant when put into porridge. It should be noted that when the pot is to be cooked, stir-fried nuts should be added to avoid spoiling the flavor for a long time. Peanuts and walnuts are made into nuts, and the effect is better.
2. If it is sticky, add glutinous ingredients.
Purple rice, glutinous rice and rhubarb rice are rich in amylopectin, which is equivalent to adding natural thickener after cooking porridge, but these ingredients are easy to cause blood sugar to rise. If diabetics want to drink thick porridge, oat can be added. Its rich β -glucan is also a natural thickener, which also helps to control blood sugar and blood lipids.
3. If you want to be sweet, add red dates.
Red dates, raisins, longan pulp and lotus seeds all contain high sugar, which can make porridge taste sweet, but diabetics should drink less. It should be noted that lotus seeds must be pitted before cooking.
Third, the precautions for drinking porridge every day.
First of all, it is really good to drink some porridge properly, but you can't eat porridge every meal. Often drink porridge, the elderly will be malnourished because of insufficient energy and nutrition intake. Therefore, we should also pay attention to a balanced nutrition when drinking porridge, just one meal a day. Many people think porridge nourishes the stomach.
But in fact this view is not comprehensive. Drinking porridge without chewing slowly can not promote the secretion of salivary glands that can help digestion; Moreover, porridge with high moisture content will dilute gastric acid after entering the stomach, accelerate the expansion of the stomach, and the stomach moves slowly, which is not conducive to digestion. Therefore, patients with gastric diseases can't always drink porridge, but should choose a diet that is easy to digest and absorb, chew slowly and promote digestion.
In addition, the role of porridge is different, millet porridge nourishes the stomach, and glutinous rice porridge can help digestion. If you want to use porridge to recuperate your body, you must first carefully understand the different functions of porridge, so as to achieve the purpose of conditioning. Finally, porridge is beneficial, but you don't have to eat it every meal. It's best to ensure it two or four times a week.
