Decided to try something different today. Used the frozen rice method and cooked some minced meat and chicken porridge in the morning for our lunch today. The frozen rice method really makes the cooking of porridge very much faster, the porridge gets thick and smooth in less then 15 min.
However, I think I need to add more water in to make the porridge smoother. Also added in diced carrots and mushrooms for our vege intake. Some slices of ginger to make the porridge more fragrant.
One very important ingredient that we cannot miss out is definitely the fried shallots! It acts as a garnish, enhances the taste and the fried shallot oil can be used to drizzle on your porridge....Are you drooling now?
Here you go...a great meal for a rainy weather.....
*Frozen Rice method
- Wash the rice in a bowl and drain off the water, leaving just a bit of water in the bowl after draining.
- Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and put it into the freezer for 3-4 hours to freeze the rice ( I left it overnight)
- When taken out of the freezer, you can just cook the frozen rice as per normal without thawing
- The purpose of freezing the rice is to break down rice grains when they come into contact with the water as it cooks.
- This allow the grains to turn starchy and gives a thick and smooth consistency within a much shorter time.....just 10-15 min of boiling and stirring and you will see your smooth porridge forming.
Now you can have smooth and fragrant porridge anytime. Do you have other methods of cooking yummy porridge?
