Porridge from a spoonful of rice

What do you do when you have this much rice leftover? Too little for a meal, yet too lazy too cook more fresh rice. One easy solution for lunch -- porridge.

Just add some water to the rice, depending on the consistency you prefer, and let it boil.




Add a few drops of sesame oil and some preserved vegetables, tung choy 冬菜 , for flavour. If you prefer the teochew porridge style, turn off the flame before the rice dissolves into a liquid texture. For a smooth porridge consistency, leave it on and boil til the liquid turns thick.





Pour into a bowl and serve with some stirfried vegetables or any other leftovers from dinner. Some luncheon meat or omelette would go well too.
