Porridge is one of those easiest thing to cook. But you'd always wonder how to make a really good porridge. What's the proper rice:water ratio? What are other stuff to put into? I happened to come across a variety show which cover this simple dish in a very short segment and the recipe is just nice. Mind you it's not that cheap coz it use dried scallops but it tastes good! The texture is just right, not too thin or thick and like any porridge, it's light on your tummy!
What you need for 4 person portion:
300 gr rice
2 tsp vegetable oil (I use sesame oil, instead)
2 tsp salt
3 L water
12 pc dried scallops (medium size) ~ soaked and shredded
How to:
1. Place the rice on a strainer and soak it and lift up the strainer and place the rice on a bowl.
2. Coat the rice with oil until well mixed.
3. On a pot, put water and start to boil it under slow fire, add on the coated rice, salt and the scallops
4. Cook the rice for about 40-50 minutes. Pointer: by the time the rice blooms that's when you off your fire.
5. Serve hot and with toppings like: Century eggs (Pi Tan), fermented tofu, pickled lettuce, chinese doughnuts.
