My ultimate comfort food....a bowl of piping hot porridge!
This is today's breakfast :) Started cooking last night after dinner, and then transferred it into the slow cooker to let it cook slowly loh...haha.
This is really very nice, so anyone who wants to eat porridge or prepare a nice breakfast for your loved ones, try this!
Ingredients:
Chicken meat (cut into cubes)
Chicken bones
Potatoes (cut into small cubes)
Carrot (cut into small cubes)
Dried scallop
Rice (washed and soak for 30min -put it in the fridge)
Light soya sauce
Oyster sauce
Sugar
Sesame oil
Salt
Pepper
Spring onions (cut into fine pieces)
Ginger
Method:
1. Pour boiling water over the chicken bones.
2. Remove the chicken bones.
3. Boil a pot of water, add in the chicken bones, dried scallop, carrot, potatoes, garlic and ginger (put a piece of about 2cm long and cut into it a little so that the flavor can permeate easily) and rice.
If you are using slow cooker throughout the whole process, you can just leave the rice to cook. If you are cooking this with a stove first (like what I did), then you need to stir it to avoid the rice from sticking at the bottom of the pot. Use medium heat for stove.
4. Meanwhile, marinate the chicken meat with sugar, salt, pepper, light soya sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce for at least 30min.
5. Cook the rice until it turns into porridge, add in the marinated chicken meat.
6. This should all take ~1 hour and you can serve the porridge now if you want to (just add salt to taste before serving). I prefer it to be really broken down and thick, so at this point, I transferred it into a slow cooker.
7. Set the slow cooker to automatic mode, and let it cook overnight (if you're not cooking it overnight, then let it stay in the cooker until serving time).
8. Add salt to taste and there you go.....a nice bowl of porridge. Garnish it with shreds of ginger and some spring onions.

Yummy! I should buy a slow cooker soon... I have been craving for porridge for quite a while...
Yes, a slow cooker is really good in cooking porridge! It's better to use hot water whenever cooking in a slow cooker otherwise it can be really SLOW. ;p
