【Guangdong】Shrimp and chicken casserole porridge

Overview

Casserole porridge is a traditional delicacy in the Chaoshan region of Guangdong. It is a salty porridge cooked in a special casserole. The porridge is the main ingredient and is usually paired with shredded meat, seafood, poultry, fish and other ingredients, plus winter vegetables unique to the Chaoshan region. The resulting porridge is quite delicious. It can be said that it has spread throughout Guangdong in the past 20 years. In the Pearl River Delta region, as long as there is a late night snack, casserole porridge will basically exist. Since it is a family version of casserole porridge, some ingredients are not so complete. For example, fish bone meal is a perfect match for casserole porridge, but many people do not have this ingredient at home, so they can only make the most of it. In addition, cooking a pot of delicious porridge still requires some attention. The process of cooking involves controlling the heat, selecting rice, selecting ingredients, etc...
