Porridge

Down with flu all week, I've hardly entered the kitchen but let me share some porridge pics with you. This porridge was made from a roast duck carcass. I added dried scallops & oysters and moss for extra taste and served up with century and salted eggs, fried shallots, ginger slices, soy sauce, white pepper and sesame oil.
Do leave me a note if you love porridge too :-)

I LOVE the cantonese style of cooking porridge although I've not tried them myself. I like How the soft and creamy texture. Any tips? :D

Hope you're better!

Reedz - me too!
Princess - I usually wash the rice, then soak with boiled water, salt, white pepper & dash of sesame oil for 2 hours or so. Then add to a pot with plenty of water, dried scallops and a piece of bruised ginger. And just boil until you the rice grains are completely broken up and a creamy consistency is achieved. Stir occasionally and add water when necessary. If you're rushed for time, you can start the boil process immediately and omit the soak process.
Hello Su-Lin - I'm all better now thank you, the flu took 5 days to shake off. Nice to hear from porridge fans!
