It’s been a busy week and I just wanted to cook something simple, nice and nutritious. Porridge won’t go wrong ;p
Since there isn’t much vegetables in the dish, we finished off dinner with a simple bowl of kiwi and pear.

Ingredients:
Brown rice
Peanuts (soaked for a few hours)
Chinese Mushroom (soaked till soft and cut into small pieces)
Carrot (cut into small pieces)
Dried Oyster (soaked and cut into small pieces/own preference)
Chicken meat (I didn’t cut it, just put in the whole piece of chicken breast)
Water
Salt
Pepper
Sesame Oil
Method:
1. Dump everything into the rice cooker except the chicken (add in when it boils).
2. Cook till you get the porridge to the texture of your preference.
3. Season with salt, pepper and a little sesame oil.
Yummy!!!

porridge is always my comfort food. i love to eat it even when i'm not sick. and your version is so healthy! you used brown rice. i haven't gotten to like brown rice yet. i still love my thai fragrant rice!
hi cass!
yeah, brown rice is def not as tasty as fragrant rice or even the normal white rice ;p
i have been cooking brown rice for almost a year and still not very used to it, so i use it mostly to cook porridge. it doesn't taste as 'bad' in porridge :)
same for me! i love porridge...
hi siew chan, but, does brown rice take a longer time to cook than white rice?
yes, it does but since we normally just let the porridge cook for at least 1-2 hours, i think it doesn't require much effort to 'monitor' it.
if we cook rice with the brown rice, we'll need to add in slightly more water and cook it for a longer time ('keep warm' in the rice cooker).
it doesnt taste as nice if we use it to do fried rice as the texture is more 'coarse' compared to white rice.
ok, here's a challenge for you to figure out how to make brown rice taste as nice as the white one. haha... :)
