In fact, the longer the porridge is cooked, the easier it is to hydrolyze its starch into dextrin, making it softer and more waxy. So it usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour to cook porridge. If you want to make the porridge softer and glutinous, it will take a long time. If you add some other coarse grains or other ingredients to the porridge, it may make the porridge cook longer.

Therefore, the time to cook porridge can be determined according to the amount of porridge and the amount of ingredients in it, so pay attention to observation. Anyway, as long as the water is not boiled dry, the longer the boiling time, the better, and the thicker the better. In addition, it is suggested to boil water with large fire first, and then start cooking with small fire, so that the porridge cooked will be more delicious.
