Porridge again? Why so many porridge because this time I had been sick. I had some bad sore throat right after Evy was cured. It was really painful and I had to cook myself some porridge/jook/congee. This time I used frozen mixed vegetable, dried scallop, salmon, dried shrimps and some cut bok choy. Lastly garnished with some fried shallots. The cooking instruction can be found at my old post here.
This was how I like my porridge, all the rice grains broken out, watery and soft. It was sweet with a touch of salt as I added dried scallop and dried shrimps in this. Healthy too right?
Too bad, both my girls do not fancy porridge, even though it is delicious. My elder has been very picky and my second one just like to follow her sister. But if the sister is at school, she will eat the porridge with me.
oh dear, hope u r feeling better? I think jook is the best comfort food of all! My fav is lean pork with century egg!
ReplyDeletehopefully your girls will acquire a taste for it soon!
I was never a huge jook fan, but I think because the salmon was missing!
ReplyDeleteHope you have completely recovered. The temp. changes too drastically - need to take extra care of our body and health.
ReplyDeleteHope you are better now.
ReplyDeleteGImme porridge anytime, I'll love it.
Hope you are feeling better. I love jook too, esp. when I am sick. It's like chicken soup.

Luckily you Maya. Cooking jook for breakfast is a bit too much for me, just like something easy. :P
Porridge is suppose to be kid's food. But, now a days kids tend to love more flavorful meal. LOL.

ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I love salmon with porridge! How do you 'break' the rice grains? :)

ReplyDeleteAdeline, when the porridge is cooked, you kept on stirring it until the rice breaks. ;)
