Sautéed onions add a sweet and delicious flavor. This gentle-tasting rice porridge will warm you up! Great for both adults and kids.

Recipe background:
My husband, who usually doesn't cook, made this for me when I wasn't feeling well (I had already prepped the ingredients). He made it by taste, but it turned out so good that even the kids loved it. There are many rice porridge recipes out there, but I'm posting this to remember the quantities. 2018.10.11

Steps

1

If using frozen rice, heat it up first. For this recipe, I used 100g and 150g portions of frozen rice, microwaved together at 600W for 2 minutes.
2

Add the oil and onion to a medium saucepan and sauté over medium heat until lightly cooked.
3

Add the water, rice, and chicken bouillon powder to the pan. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4

Pour in the beaten egg and add the green onions. Taste and add a little salt if needed. Serve hot.
5

Add your favorite toppings if you like. Note: Adding pickled plum (umeboshi) will mask the chicken flavor, so it's fine without it. For serving, I tried to make the dish look like a sun, not a flower!
6

Some people rinse the rice before adding it to remove excess starch, but I skipped this step. Since there's less rice compared to the water, it's not an issue.
7

[Onion peeling tip] My husband was surprised when he saw this method. It's quick and easy—done in 10 seconds! For details, see ID:18924291
