To prepare the ingredients, first wash the rice twice with clean water, and then soak it in clean water for about 30 minutes. The soaked rice absorbs water and becomes swollen and easier to cook, which can save time for cooking porridge. In addition, soak the chrysanthemums and wolfberries in separate small bowls.Step 3
Peel the snow pear or Fengshui pear, remove the core and cut into large pieces and set aside. There are many kinds of pears. We choose juicy Sydney pears or Fengshui pears, which are more effective in moistening the lungs and relieving coughs.Step 4
Then pour the peanut oil into the rice and mix well. If there is no peanut oil, you can use other cooking oil instead. Adding some cooking oil can help the rice absorb heat quickly after being put into the pot, making it easier for the rice grains to bloom and the cooked porridge to taste very smooth and moist.Step 5
Add enough water to the pot to boil, add rice, stir constantly at this time, do not let the rice sink to the bottom of the pot and stick to the pot. By stirring the rice grains and rotating them in the water, they will be heated evenly and accelerate the cooking of the rice grains.Step 6
Don't be lazy, keep stirring until the rice grains spread around in the pot and will no longer sink to the bottom of the pot.Step 7
At this time, turn to low heat, add pear cubes, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes. Notice! If you like pear porridge with a glutinous texture, you can cook it for a few more minutes, but you need to add enough water in advance.Step 8
Then open the lid of the pot, add the soaked wolfberries and chrysanthemums, simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes and turn off the heat.Step 9
