WHo is the CheF?

For the past 3 days, I came down with a bout of diarrhoea. I wasn't well and I knew I just needed to get some porridge (congee) into the system. I went to a nearby food stall but the porridge was sold out, so I decided to cook some myself. By the way, plain porridge is the best although it is a bit bland and tasteless.


So, let's share this modified porridge:

1/2 cup rice
1.5 L water
1 cup ground nuts
2 pieces of potatoes nicely diced
3 chicken wings (optional)
salt
sesame oil
some flour
soy sauce


Procedure:

-marinate the chicken with sesame oil, soy sauce, and some flour
-boil the water in a rice cooker (modified) or a pot
-when the water is boiled, insert the marinated chicken with the washed rice
-insert the diced potatoes and cleaned ground nuts after the chicken was almost cooked
-slow the fire
-wait about 20 mins, add some salt to taste and then stir the porridge well
-switch off the fire once you feel the consistency is right to your taste
(personally, I prefer a more liquid state) dont over cooked! otherwise it becomes cooked rice.


In addition, the more bland, the better it is for loose stools. Also, too much oil can precipitate bowel activities. So, be generous on that, ok.


Enjoy the recipe for a healthy tomorrow, haha. (It's really yummie, just look at the picture)
