1. It is best to choose pumpkin that is easy to boil and rotten, so that it is easy to operate. Chestnuts should be frozen in advance, and it is easier to soak them in hot water and peel them. Millet is easier to boil and bloom after being soaked in cold water, and it also saves time when cooking.
2. Chestnuts are more resistant to cooking than pumpkin, try to cut them into small pieces when cutting, and need to be boiled together with millet at the same time, which is convenient for fast ripening.
3. When the rice porridge is boiled to thickness, keep stirring with a spoon to avoid the ingredients sticking to the bottom of the pot, and the amount of sugar can be selected according to personal taste.
