# How to Make Thickened Mushroom Soup
Fresh shiitake mushrooms are not only great for stir-frying with meat, but they also make a delicious, thickened soup.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
* Shiitake mushrooms
* Scallions
* Cooking oil
* Table salt
* Chicken bouillon powder
* Cornstarch
## Measurements
Per serving:
* Fresh shiitake mushrooms: 2 pieces
* Scallions: 0.5 stalks
* Chicken bouillon powder: 3 g
* Cooking oil: 10 ml
* Table salt: 3 g
* Boiling water: 350 ml
* Cornstarch: 10 g
## Instructions
* Slice the shiitake mushrooms (each slice should be 0.5-1 cm thick; thicker slices are chewier than thinner ones). Place them in a large bowl and pour in 2 g of table salt to soak for 15 minutes.
* Pour the cornstarch into a small bowl, add 50 ml of water, and stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely with no lumps (this creates a slurry).
* Discard the saltwater from the bowl and gently squeeze out excess moisture from the mushrooms (to facilitate the next frying step) [Optional].
* Heat the pan over low heat, add the oil, and wait until small bubbles form (about 30 seconds on low heat, depending on the stove's power). Add the mushrooms and pan-fry for 10 seconds on each side [Optional].
* Pour in 300 ml of boiling water, increase the heat to medium, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
* Pour in the cornstarch slurry, stir the soup gently, add 3 g of salt and 3 g of chicken bouillon powder, then garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

# How to Make Millet Porridge
Millet contains various vitamins, amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates, with high nutritional value. Every 100 grams of millet contains 9.7 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fat, which are not lower than those in rice and wheat.
Unlike most grains, millet contains carotene, with 0.12 mg per 100 grams. It also has the highest content of Vitamin B1 among all grains.
Millet is also high in sugar, containing 72.8 grams per 100 grams, and produces significantly more heat energy than rice. Additionally, millet is rich in Vitamin B1, B2, and others.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Millet
- Water (Mountain spring water is best)
## Calculation
- Millet: 100 grams
- Water (Mountain spring water is best): 2000 grams
Using the above conditions, calculate the ratio of raw materials to be used.
## Instructions
* Place 100 grams of millet in a bowl and rinse it lightly with water (stir with your hand, then discard the water; this is only to remove surface dust, do NOT scrub or wash vigorously!!!)
* Boil the water thoroughly! Ensure it reaches a full boil!
* When the water is boiling vigorously, pour the millet into the pot. (This is an important step that is often overlooked)
* Stir to prevent the millet from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Continue cooking on high heat for 6-10 minutes, stirring intermittently.
* Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Leave a small gap in the pot lid to prevent the millet oil from escaping. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.
## Additional Notes
* This method uses a regular pot (cooking time: 30-35 minutes), which yields the best flavor. Pressure cookers and rice cookers are more convenient but may reduce the quality. Adjust the water amount accordingly, typically 100 grams of millet + 1800 grams of water.
* Millet only needs to be rinsed to remove surface dust. Do not over-wash, as it will cause the loss of millet oil.
* Remember to add the millet only when the water is boiling.
* I prefer not to add baking soda to enjoy the pure flavor of millet.

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Pork ribs (lean ribs recommended)
- Yam (Chinese yam/Iron stick yam recommended)
- Carrot
- Corn (sweet corn or waxy corn recommended)
- Ginger
- Green onions
- Cooking wine
- Salt
- Clay pot or deep stockpot
## Calculations
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you want to make. One serving is sufficient for 2 people.
Per serving:
- Pork ribs: 500g
- Yam: 1 piece (approximately 300g)
- Carrot: 1 piece (approximately 150g)
- Corn: 1 piece (approximately 250g)
- Ginger: approximately 20g (sliced and set aside)
- Green onions: approximately 15g (tied in a knot or minced, set aside)
- Cooking wine: 15ml
- Cooking oil: 10ml
- Water: 1500ml - 2000ml
- Salt: 6g - 8g
## Instructions
- **Ingredient Prep**:
- Wash and peel the carrot, then cut it into approximately 3cm rolling-cut chunks.
- Wash the corn and cut it into approximately 4cm cylindrical pieces.
- Peel the yam (wearing gloves is recommended to prevent skin irritation from the sap), cut it into approximately 4cm long segments, and set aside.
- **Blanching the Pork Ribs**:
- Add sufficient cold water to a pot and place the washed pork ribs inside.
- Add approximately 10g of ginger slices, a green onion knot, and 15ml of cooking wine.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, **wait for 3 minutes**, skimming off the foam from the surface with a spoon.
- Remove the ribs and rinse off impurities with warm water at approximately 40℃. Drain and set aside.
- **Stir-frying the Pork Ribs**:
- Heat the pot and pour in 10ml of cooking oil. Wait 10 seconds for the oil temperature to rise.
- Add the remaining approximately 10g of ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant.
- Add all the prepared pork ribs. Stir-fry over medium heat for approximately 1 minute until the surface of the ribs is slightly browned.
- **Simmering Process**:
- Add 1500ml - 2000ml of water to the pot all at once.
- Add all the prepared carrots, corn, and yam.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat. Cover the pot and **simmer slowly for 40 minutes**.
- **Seasoning and Serving**:
- Add 6g - 8g of salt and stir evenly with a spoon.
- Continue to simmer on low heat for **2 minutes** to allow the salt to flavor the soup.
- Turn off the heat. Garnish with minced green onions according to personal preference, and serve.
## Additional Content
- **Anti-oxidation tip**: After peeling the yam, if it is not immediately cooked, soak it in clean water to prevent it from turning black due to oxidation upon contact with air.
- **Texture control**: If you prefer the yam to be extremely soft and glutinous, cook it together with the pork ribs. If you prefer the yam to remain in chunks and not disintegrate, add it 20 minutes after the ribs have started simmering.
- **Hydration note**: If you notice the water level drops below the ingredients during simmering, be sure to add hot water. Avoid adding cold water, as it can cause the meat fibers to contract instantly and become tough.

- Add cooked soybean oil to maintain the tender, smooth, and elastic texture
### Poaching the Meatballs
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce to low heat so it is barely simmering
- Shape the meatballs by hand and drop them into the water
- Once all meatballs float to the surface, simmer on low heat for 1 minute
### Preparing the Soup
- Place the vermicelli noodles at the bottom of the bowl
- Add wood ear mushrooms, daylily buds, and green onions. Season the base with salt, pepper, and chicken bouillon powder
- Pour the hot soup and meatballs into the bowl
